My "Dark Knight Rises" Predictions

My "Dark Knight Rises" Predictions

I give my thoughts on how I think TDKR will go down. I know it's a little late but I figured i'd get it out there.

Filed Under: Batman

From what we know we can name a few things. First, Batman has been away for a while. Jim Gordon has been named a war hero. Bane has surfaced somewhere in Gotham. And that Selena Kyle is involved. Now Lets piece it together. Batman, we know is on the run because of what happedened in TDK, is called back into action after bane attacks some place in Gotham City. An attack which I think puts Jim Gordon in the hostpital, and he needs someone to run things while hes away, which is where Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character comes in.

Bane, we know recieves some sort of blood tranfusion or something like that, I think he does take some sort of venom like the books, but needs a regular blood tranfusion because his blood is poisoned from the toxins. Now, Selena Kyle I think reaches out to Bane with some secrets or something of value to him. As for Marion Cotillard's character I do not think that she will be Talia Al Ghul, only because there is still Joey Kings character which might not make a whole lot of sense now, but I think she will play a younger Talia Al Ghul.

Those are my thoughts Comment below if you think differently.

What have you seen so far that makes you think Bane will have a blood transfusion? The only one who's had that for certain is Dr. Pavel, as we saw in the prologue. Also, it has already been confirmed by the costume designer that Bane receives an anesthetic through his mask, meaning he probably doesn't need blood transfusions. Lastly, why would you debunk Marion Collitard playing Talia just because Joey King will play young Talia? That claim simply makes no sense. But I respect your opinions.

I believe that the blood taken from dr pavel is so the fib/cia find his dna in the plane crash and believe him to be dead do that bane can keep him in custody with out they authorities trying to search for him.

i think you are spot on about gordon however, from the looks of it, it is some sort of smoke damage to his lungs. maybe they leave him to die in a fire and bruce or john blake saves him just in time.

Alright...

First: While I do think Selina Kyle will play an importatnt part in this movie, I don't think she's the evil villain we're painting her out to be. I think she'll simply be used by Bane to "throw a wrench" into the situation and just make it even more difficult for Batman to have things run smoothly. With that being said, I still don't think she's entirely bad and may change sides by the end of the film.

Second: All signs are pointing to Marion playing Talia in disguise as Miranda Tate. In my opinion, she "woos" Bruce over by becoming a new recently appointed board member for Wayne Enterprises. Little by little, she'll allow Bruce to let his guard down, all while working together with Bane in his meticulous plan to destroy Gotham... You know... The same plan that her father was unable to accomplish in "Batman Begins". That gives her added incentive in coming back to Gotham to finish what her father started.

Lastly: As mentioned above, costume designer Lindy Hemming has stated that Bane will be using an anesthetic to deal with his pain. My theory for the blood transfusion is that Pavel's blood was infused into this "drained and bloodless" body. That way, by the time the hijacked plane crashes to the ground, the only way authorities can identify the burned body is by taking blood... Therefore identifying the body as Dr. Leonid Pavel. This is again all part of Bane's meticulous and organized plan. He has Pavel "die" in the accident just so no one will question his disappearance and will then force him to build his "Doomsday Device" to destroy Gotham.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. Those are my theories... Comment as you wish.

Thought: why would Talia need to Woo Bruce Wayne? They don't know he's Batman and they don't know about the part of the company that has all the Tumblers... Remember that's all secret!

HonestAbe... Talia would need to woo Bruce because she would know that Batman is Bruce. Remember, Ra's knows that Bruce is Batman. So one would assume that he told his daughter or a young Bane when they were training in the League of Shadows.

I feel like we may see Talia/Miranda venture on down to the R&D department at Wayne Enterprises to steal blueprints of the Tumbler.

Again, just a thought.

This is only two paragraphs long. You could of wrote this in the comment section of any "The Dark Knight Rises" article. Instead you make an editorial which is home to a comment that is longer than your article.

I think the blood transfusion you see in the prologue is to a corpse so when the bodies of the plane wreck are checked the DNA will be of Dr Pavel (that's my thought) therefore they will not know he is missing (for why I don't know)
