The Dark Knight Rises Is the MAJOR twist this: Ras is Bane?

[wb2012]

I think so. I will discuss this theory (as here: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=383061) because I believe it will end up being the truth on July 20.

He has the mask in stage #1.

Also, "I don't have to save you."/"Why didn't you kill me."

Also the Bruce/Bane scene is just like after Bruce saves Ras from falling off ice mountain.

Spoiler

Know why we don't understand the Talia/Bane dynamic? This twist. Look at the pictures of her leaving the city hall. Looks like she just has a pretty serious encounter, maybe with Ras/Bane?

Look at the glacier fight in begins! Ras, + injuries, + saved by his men, + juiced up pissed/fighter trainer, = Bane back in gotham for the ultimate twist!

Uhhh... say that again?

I think so.

With respect, I know we may be struggling for things to discuss sometimes, but its pretty obvious that he's not.

Isn't it clear? Isn't it true that if it is the case, we will be able to say that every sign was there? We should have seen it coming? It seems like every sign is!

I didn't know M Night shyamalan was directing TDKR.

You aren't making much sense, my friend.

Here's the biggest twist of all...Bane is Bane..and Ras is Ras. Who would've thought?

Well to be fair when Bane spoke in the latest trailer I got vibes of Neeson off of him.

 

[BuddhaWasABat]

So did I, and I mentioned that to people, but it's just suppose to be subtleties...

 

[KalMart]

Bane is Robin.

 

[Boom]

I got more of an Ian McKellen vibe from him.

 

[Gianakin_]

Banedalf.

Echoes of the LoS?? Perhaps Bane knew Ra's as a child and used him as inspiration. Who knows at this point. But um, I have to disagree; I don't think they're the same person. Unless someone else turns out to be Ra's:

Rach' El Ghul. Called it.

 

[wb2012]

Just look at it this way: Imagine Ras survived and is now meaner than ever.

BRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMM

 

[munchie64]

Ra's al Ghul is dead!

 

[wb2012]

And look where that gotcha.

 

[Doctor Who]

And look where that gotcha.

Props for the spirit, man!

 

[wb2012]

Hey way to go funny bone.

 

[Broker]

He has the mask in stage #1.

Ra's wears the mask (briefly) to protect him from the gas.

The context is completely different.

Also, "I don't have to save you."/"Why didn't you kill me."

I don't understand this allusion at all.

Know why we don't understand the Talia/Bane dynamic?

Because we haven't seen the film yet.

 

[The Shape]

Props for the spirit, man!

Poor guy.

 

[Doctor Who]

Poor guy.

No, I mean it; I'm not a fan of this thread and don't agree with it, but at least he's funny and knows his quotes. t:
