The Dark Knight Rises How could the Lazarus pits work in Nolan's final batfilm?

[djshankalicious]

With all the increasingly exciting news of production starting for the Dark Knight Rises, with Pence and Bale rumoured to be filming in India, rumours are starting to spread that the lazarus pits could in fact be making an unlikely appearence, I was wondering whether anyone had any ideas/information as to how they could indeed work within Nolan's 'realistic' bat trilogy

just like in the comics

They say there are miracle remedies and stuff like that in the real world, so my favourite suggestion is it being used to somehow fix Bruce's back. I could totally buy the LOS having access to that, much like the blue flowers in the first movie.

I think it was Saint who originally suggested that the League could be used in place of Lady Shiva for restoring Bruce to health, so props to him. I love that idea.

do you not think that this would be too great a leap of logic for a trilogy that, whislt obviously not being completely realitic, at least tries to ground it's theories in an element of realism?

Medical Science?

Obviously, you can't bring back a post BB Liam Neeson. There's no possibility of that being realistic.

How about having the pits being able to put someone in suspension. Like cryogenics. You could have an immortal Ra's without too much magic.

But that wouldn't be akin to immortality or Ra's running the organisation for thousands of years, because it would mean Ra's would have been missing in between the formation of the League to a few decades before the start of Begins. Eh.

What I've learned about Nolan's films is that he looks for the heightened possibility of realism. Things that that aren't possible in our world,but could potentially work with the right amount of research and technology,etc.

A gas that hyper activates the amygdala part of the brain to induce a tremendous amount of fear and hallucinations is potentially possible.

A machine that can manipulate and heighten the senses of the brain to believe that a dream is reality is also a possibility.

So its not too far-fetched to believe that they can come up with a possibility that there is a serum that can regenerate and give 'life' to a dead person. But that is a stretch too far IMO,and I believe the Lazarus Pit would damage the feeling of the movies that Nolan has created.

Bruce asks the audience if they're watching closely.

And then it turns out to be a science fantasy film at the end.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Inception was actually conceived from a horror film idea. So that gives us some insight into the levels of Chris's mind lol.

 

[Pagan]

the pit is actually a cloning tank that they grow a new Ra's in from his stem cells.

 

[Motown Marvel]

just like in the comics

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Same as the comics.

But if the Nolan's must add their BS explanations then have a pit with a combinations of chemicals and amino acids that encourage cellular regeneration and a reproduction of telomorase, reversing his aging proccess

Real scientific principals. BS facts.

 

[Gotham Knight]

I don't see it happening. It goes against the realistic aspect of Nolan's Batman universe.

 

[Wolverine1988]

Exactly, its one thing to have gas that can make you hallucinate and be afraid, its completley whole nother ball game to bring in the Lazarus Pit.

I really don't get why everyone assumes it's going to be in it.

Not to mention if we have learned anything from thie production of this movie so far is that we have been all very off the mark in assuming so i don't see how Nolan could possibly incorporate the whole Lazarus Pit deal

 

[Brother Jack]

The Lazarus Pit definitely could work in Nolan's world, it just has to be augmented to fit the parameters of that world. So instead of actually bringing people back to life it could significantly heal them, which in an allegorical way (tying in with the title) could be a resurrection of sorts. You know, if Batman gets himself broken by Bane.

But one shouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's a Lazarus Pit; it could be anything.

 

[ronny]

I don't see it happening. It goes against the realistic aspect of Nolan's Batman universe.

Come now, the world is full of hokus pokus stories of eternal youth and magic potions. Would it be so unbelievable that one of these stories has a basis in fact?

Plus, there are things in the Batman mythos that are far harder to believe.

 

[Yurka]

I see it working like a Bacta tank in Star Wars. It wouldnt make someone immortal or rejuvenate them, but it would help them physically heal in a much more advanced rate.

 

[TheFuture]

I don't necessarily think that they're filming scenes together. Pence could be filming his flashback scenes while Bale could be filming present day scenes. It'd be jaw dropping if Nolan really uses the Lazarus Pit, but if he does then bring it on.

 

[Doctor Who]

Easy, read the original comics; I saw the set photos, and it looks faithful to what we've seen all around. And with Pence as a Younger Ra's Al Ghul, it obviously means that they might include Birth of the Demon as source material.

That being said, it seems like the only one who's so F***ING EXCITED that Nolan's going this route; I have been DYING to see a movie go this route, and if it's true, then here we are. t:

Just saw the leaked set photo. Nvm.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

It could work in a similar, albeit more volatile manner, to mineral baths or hot springs in the real world. In the BEGINS novelization, Bruce does some research on Rā's and the documents he recovers reveal a few things about his use of the Pits and his methods if uncovering them. And there's nothing supernatural about it at all

 

[The Riddler]

it can't.

its inclusion would suck.

also, i hate the idea of ra's back.

 

[Two-Face]

Nolan Batman isn't that realistic.


Also I don't see why not if fits with the story.

 

[Knight Rise]

it can't.

its inclusion would suck.

also, i hate the idea of ra's back.

better him than Scarecrow, but thats just me. i loved Ras

 

[Lead Cenobite]

I was never all that in love with the realism angle to begin with so I don't mind if they start introducing the more unreal stuff.
