You may want to go easy on those of us that watched it on bootleg with half the screen cutoff. "shocking"
Precisely.

Ha, so the guy who purposefully gets caught, is afraid of getting caught?
-Was getting caught part of the plan.
-Of course, but seeing as how I can escape this unlikely scenario with ease, I'm going to do a blood transfusion, so we don't get caught.
Yes, which was explained to us.I see this as different situations. I think that was because Bane was confident that he could escape and outsmart the clueless CIA guy and others. He just wanted to know what Dr. Pavel told the CIA.
A "red alert"? They're in a friggin plane. I'm pretty sure they'll make it back to Gotham before anybody even notices a plane has even crashed.However, if the CIA find out that Pavel was taken, there will be a red alert sounded in the states. Bane and his men won't be able to smuggle Pavel into the states undetected if the CIA quickly realises that Pavel is still alive. All of Bane's plans will go awry.
It's still ridiculous and doesn't make sense. It reminds me of when TDK prologue came out, and everybody was questioning why NOBODY saw The Joker(a clown who is wanted on the streets of Gotham) standing on the street waiting for his ride. People were making excuses about living in a city, and how common it is, etc. But really, if I knew a deranged clown was wanted where I live, and I saw a deranged clown on the streets, I'm positive people would take notice. There should be no excuses, it's just a ridiculous scene that doesn't add up. Easy as that.Basically, if Bane wants to get caught, then everything will go fine. If Bane doesn't want to get caught, then I know that there has to be something greater at stake.
Well you can do two things, when you are presented with the problem. Bane is doing a blood transfusion in order to cover up his tracks, but he blows up a stadium later on in the film so clearly he's not worried about the authorities. So the two ways you can deal with this information;
a) take it as a plot hole, criticize the writing it was clearly a useless scene.
b) figure out that between the prologue and the stadium there must have been some time passed and certain events that have occurred that has changed Bane's approach from being cautious as a ninja to being confident enough to mass murder and talk about it on live tv in front of thousands in attendance.
It's not rocket science, nor is it bad writing to not assume your audience dosen't want literally everything spelt out for you.

I don't think he did the blood transfusion not to get caught, but in order to slow down the CIA or whoever will probably be searching for him.
What "harvey dent" thing?

Getting the money and Pavel is a moot point, as they could have gotten that regardless. The only reason why the plan jacking happened, was to find out if Pavel told them anything. The whole blood transfusion is still a ridiculous notion to think about.He wasn't caught at all, the Militia were in on the exchange. They would had to put the hoods on them and do you think the guy who described Bane as the masked mercenarie wouldn't know that the guy with the big mask on his face is Bane? It was all part of his plan, giving Pavel to the CIA, getting the money, finding out what the CIA knows and crashing the plane. Now they have money to fund the operation, Dr. Pavel to build the device and the CIA think they're dead (for the time being).
The transfusion thing will need exposition at some point. i'm sure of it.
Searching for him? Who cares, he takes over all of Gotham. Why would he be worried about the CIA, especially when he kills Pavel on live TV during the football scene? He obviously doesn't care about being caught.I don't think he did the blood transfusion not to get caught, but in order to slow down the CIA or whoever will probably be searching for him.
I think a more likely explanation is that Bane must use secrecy until he gets Dr. Pavel to do what he wants so his plans aren't interrupted. Once Dr. Pavel helps him create that big ball of doom he doesn't need to cover his tracks anymore, he can finally step out into the light.

are you saying Bane is aware of his victory later on in the film during the prologue?
what you're suggesting absurd. The man doesn't care about getting caught ever because he didn't care about getting caught once.
Here's a shocking thought: Maybe he's wary of getting caught until he has a Nuke in his hands and Gotham locked out from the rest of the country![]()
So he leaves one of his men behind, and a half assed attempt at a blood transfusion, in a bullet ridden plane, that's missing it's wings and tail.are you saying Bane is aware of his victory later on in the film during the prologue?

Glad you enjoyed it!I got a story for ya'll.
My cousin, my friend and I planned all week to go yesterday at the 6:15 showing of MI:4 at Lincoln Square NYC. We get to the theater to buy our tickets early around 2:55 and see that all the next showings are SOLD OUT...our hearts sank. So we decide to go watch the 2:55 showing in hopes of catching the prologue. We got to the theater and the movie started. Again, our hearts sank but we sat in the front row(terrible seats) for the movie.
I have to say, MI:4 is definitely up there with the original and it might have surpassed it. It was a great great film and the Dubai Tower sequence had my stomach feeling uneasy.
So after the movie ended, it was 5:10. We were going to sit around and wait for the 6:15 showing to catch the prologue then leave. Around 5:30...we are told there is no way we can stay, AMC policy. My friend emotionally breaks down saying we came all the way from Toms River, New Jersey...how we spent gas money and ****. We all had our heads down and my friend was on the verge of emotionally going ape****.
So...the manager finally feels compassionate and says we can stick around for it(we all got giddy and excited!)
That prologue was ******* awesome and the footage after was even more awesome. The scene in the opening was even more fantastical than TDK opening. Bane is a badass and everything that was going on...was a bit confusing but surely there will be exposition to explain what's occurring. This wasn't as straight to the point like the heist scene was. But whatever they did to film that sequence...very hard to pinpoint and I can't wait for the Behind The Scenes for it.
One complaint...I really couldn't understand Bane much. The voice is excellent, but I understood two lines definitely and that's it.
OF COURSE!(going to be a meme I ******* know it)
The Fire Rises
Now, I heard they are going to fix the voice and I know I'm not the only one. This a major problem with a majority of audiences who've seen the prologue. It needs fixing...it really does.
Other than that, job well done Nolan and cast and crew!
