What level of intelligence? Well, he was the only cop that i saw figuring out what Bane was up to
Because he was the only Cop at the construction site who saw the explosives they were mixing up.
and he was also the only cop that i saw being able to rescue Gordon from the sewers.
He didn't rescue him from the sewers. Gordon washed out from the sewers. Blake just found him. He didn't go in there and save him from Bane's clutches.
He did it alone, disobeying orders, and risking his life.
Wrong. Gordon sent him on the latter, and as for the former there was no risk to his life finding Gordon washed up outside a sewer.
It´s about showing the will to do it.
You can have all the will in the world to do something. It doesn't mean you can do it, or are the best person to do it.
Bruce didn't see anything from Blake that proved he was the right guy for the role. Not a thing.
They did the same thing that Blake did at the exact same time? I don´t think they did.
What did they do that Blake did so radically differently? They never made half assed attempts to something on their own with overwhelming odds stacked against them like Blake did.
Your words I'm using against you. Blake showed courage to stand up for justice. So did Rachel and Gordon and the Cops on Gordon's force.
They all showed more capability for the job than Blake. Heck even Selina showed she would be a better choice than Blake. She saved Batman's life, can kick ass without needing a gun, and she helped save Gotham.
Blake did diddly squat except play escort to some orphans to safety and even that he didn't get right.
I don´t think they started to take matters into their own hands and fighting crime alone.
Of course not. They were never stupid enough to try the kind of stunt Blake did. He wasn't even carrying a weapon.
It´s all about timing. Blake, at the moment Bruce decided to leave Gotham, was the only person worth of having access to Bruce´s resources in order to do something with them.
Based on what? Nothing. He did nothing to prove he was the only person worthy of that.
He didn´t failed miserably. He discovered important plans, he saved Gordon and showed the determination to fight for what´s right and risk his life if it´s necessary, something we didn´t see regular cops doing. He is not perfect and he is not Bruce Wayne. But he wants to do it. Bruce realizes that and helps him by leaving something he can possibly work with.
He did fail miserably. Did he save the other Cops by himself? No. He got caught, pushed down a hill, and nearly executed. Batman saved him and saved the trapped Cops, too.
What important plans did he discover that helped? Accidentally finding the explosives at the construction site where he killed his two suspects? What did Blake do that showed he was a cut above? That he was a guy who was a prime candidate to be Batman?
Did he take on a prison full of men by himself? Did he climb a perilous mountain by himself and find a sacred blue flower and take it to the top with him? Did he infiltrate criminal gangs incognito to study criminals?
No, no, and no. You could see the potential in Bruce pre Batman, even when he was undisciplined and wandering the world. Ra's saw his potential, too.
Guess what Ra's did? Same thing Batman did with Dent. He put him to a TEST first to see if he was worthy. What did Bruce get Blake to do to prove his worth as inheritor of the Batman stuff? Sweet nothing.
Why do you keep talking like if this was a job interview-like situation? It´s not about him being perfect. It´s about him being someone that Bruce was able to trust and connect with.
Because when Ra's saw Bruce's potential, and Bruce saw Dent's potential, they both put them to a test to see if they were as good as they believed they might be.
That's the "interview" process.
That´s your opinion. He is more than an average cop, and that´s made very clear in the movie. Someone who is more than an average cop as a very good chance of him becoming "even close" to what Bruce was.
I am still waiting to hear what brilliance Blake showed that sold the idea he was displaying possible Batman level greatness here.
So, you read the instructions and you automatically become a specialist at operating complex vehicles in complex situations like a professional with years and years of experience? Yeah, pretty logic.
No, I meant if it's new gadgets he gives him instructions, or if it's a new vehicle they go and drive it together.
You see Lucius explain to Bruce how this stuff works, or in the case of the Tumbler they go driving around in it. Ergo you can put two and two together on how Bruce learns this stuff.
Not bad for a highschool student. With the ability to create such complex mechanisms, he could already be rich. I mean, that web thing is pretty impressive.
I agree. Peter is an under appreciated genius. But then he could also make millions off being Spider-Man, too.
Some liquid...well, he would need a lot of liquid to procuce that much web. Is it all stored in his wrists or does he have a back pocket?
Yeah somewhere on his costume. Web cartridges remember? The light flashed red when it was running low.
That´s your own personal problem. I can. And i´m not the only one.
I can't, and I'm not the only one.
BTW: You spend too much time discussing a movie you don´t like. I find that to be a little strange.
Who said I don't like the movie? I don't like a lot of parts to it, but I like it overall. Very flawed but decent. A huge step down to it's predecessors.
EDIT: I see Kato got banned. Why is it that the argumentative newbies always turn out to be trouble?
