Speaking with Comic Book Movie recently, Modine opened up about the fate of his character, Foley, a Gotham Police Officer who didn’t initially stand behind Commissioner Gordon’s plot to takedown Bane or John Blake’s attempt to resurrect Batman, but later had a change of heart – **SPOILER** albeit one that comes before the siege on Gotham claims his life. In the film a quick cut leads us to believe that Modine’s character has passed, but according to leaked set photos and video, Modine was supposed to meet his end under the wheels of Talia al Ghul’s camouflage tumbler.
When asked if he was surprised to see Foley’s death, Modine replied, “Yes. But edited movies are always a surprise. I'm hoping that the reason for this edit, which by the way was an incredible stunt and powerfully shot, is that, if there is a subsequent Batman film, Foley may not actually be dead. He found something out about himself in the streets of Gotham and he could be a worthy new Police Commissioner of the city we love.” We think Modine is being a little playful with the fanboy set, it seems pretty obvious there won’t be any further adventures, at least for Nolan’s interpretation of Batman. But it's interesting that Nolan gave him a less flashy death than one that would've involved bring crushed by a tumbler.
