The Dark Knight Rises Mayor, Coleman Reese

[lidiev]

I want to know what will happen to Mayor Garcia,Coleman Reese, and the detectives.

Discuss.

The mayor can go on being the mayor. We are given to understand from Reese's final scene in TDK that he'll keep his mouth shut, however if someone wants to find him and interrogate him, he's still a liability. And Ramirez, well, she knows the truth about Dent and Batman. I expect her to come forward and speak or something.

No we're not. Nothing was implied. All Bruce did was slightly nod at Reese and all Reese did was look away with a blank expression. Its a stretch but at best, it could be implied that Reese might be second guessing his decision to out Wayne. But definitely not that he will keep his mouth shut.

He's the mayor Gotham deserves....

Why arepeople talking about Reese? It's idiotic to think a throw away character like that will return in the next film.

 

[Sub-Zero]

figs, after tdk came out people thought that was the riddler. "mr. reese" sounds like "mysteries." i'm sure that's the only reason anyone cares about reese. surprised no one asked about mr. earle, judge phelan, falcone, or flass.

All I know is that the actor that plays Coleman Reese also has a very tiny role as a flight controller in Iron Man which makes me believe Reese is secretly working for Tony Stark.

"Mister E."
"Mistery!"
"Mister E. Nygma.... Edward Nygma!"

Well, he did claim to know and have proof of Batman's true identity. I could see the next villain trying to get ahold of him.

I was here during all the TDK hype and remember all of that silliness. I just think he won't be back because he was basically in the film just as a setup to have Joker make his threat to blow up a hospital.

It's possible but I have a huge feeling his role is done with. You never know though.

I think it would be a bit of a waste if they just forgot about him, imo.

I mean, here's a guy who went on a live television broadcast (that was seemingly watched by everyone in Gotham) declaring that he knew Batman's identity, and then was promptly shut up before he could say anything. Considering Batman is now presumably the target of a city-wide manhunt, I think B3's main villain finding Reese would be a great wrench to throw in late in the story, as most of the audience would probably have forgotten him, so it would make for quite the "Oh s***! It's that guy" moment.

Mr Reese is far closer to Mr. Freeze if you wanna look at the name. This is what the dumbas fanboys are ignoring. Also his first name is Coleman(cold man).

And Ramirez, well, she knows the truth about Dent and Batman. I expect her to come forward and speak or something.

Huh?

 

[Gianakin_]

Huh?

The public knows that Batman murdered people (Maroni, his driver, Wuertz etc). However, Ramirez knows that Dent turned to a killer: He threatened her, her life was saved by the flip of a coin, Dent used her to get to Gordon's family, her partner Wuertz was killed by someone (which is not difficult for Ramirez to assume it was Dent).

She, Gordon and his family know the truth: that Batman is innocent and Dent is the actual killer. She can choose to talk or to keep her mouth shut and let the criminals Dent arrested stay in prison.

Sure, I was interpreting from the 2 shots you just described, but the way I see it, Reese was thinking something like: "Wow, way to go. I almost lost my life trying to play the Joker's game and almost handed him the only man who can stop him"... or something like that.

I truly believe he won't talk. That doesn't mean that nobody will hunt him down, though.

Not only that, everybody in Gotham believes that Reese knows.

 

[RustyCage]

I dunno where you got that impression. For all they know he could just be another obnoxious crackpot trying to get attention.

 

[El Payaso]

He worked for such famous and prestigious firms such as Wayne Ent. so he probably has a reputation. Suddenly, he decided to tell the world he know who Batman is.

The river was sounding so there might be some stones in it.

 

[The Joker]

Not to mention the Joker wouldn't have wanted him dead if he didn't believe Reese could genuinely blow the lid on Batman's identity.

"I don't want Mr Reese spoiling everything"

 

[wayneson]

These are plot threads that might normally be disposable, but Nolan's early comments about "ending our story, instead of continuing to blow up the bubble" (which may refer to the typical sequel strategy of adding more characters, side plots, etc. to create a comic book style continuity) seem to endorse the return of previous characters (including Ra's Al Ghul, Flass, Earle and others from Batman Begins), as opposed to a lot of new ones.

"I don't want Mr Reese spoiling everything"

Yeah agree.

Makes sense now lol. Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if Reese ended up dead either in Batman 3 or in between films.

 

[ronjer]

I wouldn't be surprised if Reese ended up dead either in Batman 3 or in between films.

It seems that Nolan has some idea to do something with Reese, possibly death to be further pinned on Batman. With Batman being on the run, the cops will be interested in Reese's info as well, not just villians. I think that the writers would see that far down the road, so it would seem there is more to that story to be sure. It is getting close to the Clark Kent/Superman problem though....Reese working for Wayne....to be Batman probably costs alot....Reese knows Batmans identity....2+2=4....etc.

I'd be willing to bet that Reese disappears and is presumed dead, which is further presumed to be by Batman. It could be that Batman saves Reese once again in the beginning of the film and further solidifies his silence, and gains his first ally on his quest for redemption?????

Just thought though...a couple of beers worth, LOL.

I don't care about these characters because they aren't Batman. huh. go figure.
