I've been saying this since day one.
the quote in EW still supports my theory.
He's MIA AT THE START OF THE FILM.
Exactly what it would be. Still worked through the 8 years, quietly aiding Gordon to this peace time and success comes just before the start of TDKR and his mission is over.
I came back just for this Rag, we've had many a discussion about this. I don't know how you can still say the quote supports your theory.
It says "Bruce Wayne is still recovering physically and emotionally from the tragic battles with the Joker and Harvey Dent" and "continues to be reviled and MIA as the story begins" until "two new threats to Gotham force Batman to end his exile".
No matter how hard it is to stomach, Batman is not Batman during that 8 years and the cane is from TDK. He's still physically recovering and continuing to be MIA as the story begins. He didn't just start being MIA when the story begins, he was MIA the whole time.
