    Storyline

    Edit
    Despite his tarnished reputation after the events of The Dark Knight (2008), in which he took the rap for Dent's crimes, Batman feels compelled to intervene to assist the city and its Police force, which is struggling to cope with Bane's plans to destroy the city. —WellardRockard

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      About a year before this movie's release, writer, producer, and director Christopher Nolan mentioned he was considering using a mixture of CGI and deleted scenes from The Dark Knight (2008) to have the Joker appear briefly. He ultimately decided it was disrespectful to Heath Ledger.
    • Goofs
      (at around 44 mins) In the stock market scene, Bane's henchman that has the tablet that is downloading information is seen putting it in his bag. In the next shot he can be seen doing this again even though the tablet was already put in the bag.
    • Quotes

      Jim Gordon: I never cared who you were...

      Batman: And you were right.

      Jim Gordon: ...but shouldn't the people know the hero whot saved them?

      Batman: A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

      [takes off in the Bat]

      Jim Gordon: Bruce Wayne?

    • Crazy credits
      The Batman symbol is made of ice, and cracks as it zooms into the screen.
    • Alternate versions
      On IMAX 70mm prints of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011), this film's prologue was shown as a special preview. It contained, with only one exception, entirely different takes of Bane's dialogue.

    FAQ94

    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
    • Would the Joker have been the main villain if Heath Ledger hadn't died?
    • How does the television set work in Bane's prison, and why did Bruce break it with the rock?
