The Dark Knight Rises Can you track the comic source?

[Syncope]

Yes.

You are a strange individual.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

If it was done effectively, that would have made for a really cool scene actually.

Agreed.

But then Bane would have had to pick him up from the street to bring him to his prison.

You are a strange individual.

Don't take everything so seriously!

Bruce's reaction to the fusion reaction is similar to the brain wave project in BF - "too many questions."

Couldn't find the Year One photo were Bats is taking the cops out one by one, but... t:

^ Excellent, Doctor. Just like the movie.

 

[Nevincer]

After extensive analysis of the film I have backtraced Officer John Blake's comic book inspiration.

John Blake was Hugo Strange.

Parallels:

• Blake was the main villain of the film just like Hugo Strange was rumoured to be.
• Just like in the comic books Blake/Strange is a deranged man who is obsessed with Batman even moreso than Bruce is himself. He draws chalk symbols of him and other wacky stuff during a peace time.
• In "Batman: Prey" Strange affiliates himself with the Police and joins a Task Force to get closer to Batman. Blake does this too.
• Like in the comic books Blake/Strange illustrates his Evil Genius IQ by confronting Bruce and telling him that he knows his secret based on incredibly limited information.
• At the end of the film it is revealed that Blake/Strange is Robin Williams, just like the comics.
• The last shot implies that deranged Blake will go on to impersonate the Batman just like Hugo Strange does in the comics.

Discuss what was right under your noses all along.

 

[craigdbfan]

Nope.

 

[Nevincer]

Nope.

You can't deny the truth!

Heh, just read that Hugo Strange comic yesterday.

The hanging of the soldiers on the bridge is from a panel in Dark Victory ( Chief O' Hara, I believe?)

 

[Greens]

You're right. I think Holiday did that.

 

[Just_Human]

 

[BobJM]

You're right. I think Holiday did that.

It's Sofia Gigante. And, in Dark Victory, the "Hangman" and the freaks use the sewers to maneuver in secret.

 

[Doctor Who]

Good call! Bane in Knightfall adapted a couple of disguises in the comic, which is very similar to the Joker.

I was searching the internet and came along this very good set of examples:

That was a great read!

Circles are dead. This movie was full of figure 8's.

That was a lovely lovely read. t:

However, I will say as much as there are similarities with the books, some of them I feel like viewers are just reaching and grabbing things that remind them of it; more so, not a similarity but a coincidence. I don't think they read all of these things to develop how it should work. And everything that was said about Robin... I don't know WHY everyone is leaning towards Grayson, but if you read up on Drake's first appearance into becoming Robin and a retelling of it in The Lost Years, Blake's character to me derives more from that Drake.

But I will say that he was in the end a hybrid of Dick, Tim, and Terry.

Has anyone ever disappeared on Batman in the comics the way he vanishes from people during conversation? If not, I'm really glad Nolan thought of reversing that trick on him.

Superman did that to Batman in Kingdom Come comic.

Thats cheating a bit though, he can move faster than a speeding bullett:
