The Bat is basically the Bat-Copter rather than the Batwing.

I actually really like the design and never thought that it was ever meant to be a plane.

I think Nolan grew up on 60's Batman and his life's goal is to wipe it out...

Like the detail put into the Bat, I could see this sucker being used by the military in a few decades (yeah yeah, if it really worked).

@AlSimmons maybe he's explaining what really happened with Harvey? I don't know.

For some weird reason, I'm just not as excited for this as I was for The Dark Knight or Begins. I wish I was more excited.

SHH describes the device as a Fusion Reactor. And we know that Miranda Tate is interested in "clean energy" -- and as a board member, can direct the company towards developing the technology. Doctor Pavel could easily reverse the process so the device could function as a weapon.

Fusion Reactors leak radiation, and Gordon has been seen carrying a tablet-device, possibly tracking it with "energy expert" Tate.

I've figured something out about TDKR.
Now, this realisation should be given serious credence, as I came about it whilst watching Young Sherlock Holmes, today. So it may aswell have come from the mouth of Christiphor Nolan.
I realised two things:
1 - Young Sherlock Holmes wants to be Temple of Doom a little bit too much.
2 - Marion Cottilard is not Talia. She is Nyssa.

@Catwoman1 I'm pretty sure they will fly it together.. It even shows Batman and Catwoman both strapping into the Bat in the trailer..
She even says "My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men" and he replies "This isn't a car"...

MY "ENDING" THEORY
After defeating Bane and his mercs, Batman tows Bane's device into the skies of Gotham where it detonates, destroying the Bat and killing Batman.

@Intruder

I would like my fight with you to be the subject of a film.

Call it Troll Vs. Wonderer

And you know what? MY BODY IS READY.

Bring up all your complaints about the film right here right now....

and I'll prove how Nolans Bat Trilogy is actually more accurate than Marvels Cinematic Universe.

I'll prove how MOST, cause I have changes I disagree with, of his changes were for the better.

So come on, don't insult my character. Don't pussy out and start insulting me. This has nothing to do with me or you. It has to do with outright lying and trolling.

So lets do this, your move

@angus666 (what i'm saying here is not specifically aimed at you but at the people who moan and complain since last year's summer): you've been watching spoilers like these here for almost a year now and gotten so used to it by now that there's no element of surprise left. I told everyone back then "don't look at stuff before it's officially released" but you people had to do it anyway; It's not very respectful towards cinema as an artform and it ruins the cinematic experience for you. Why do you guys need to see stuff in advance? should we all agree that if you look at spoilers on the internet you don't get to complain about how your expectations are not as high as you'd hoped? because THAT'S what spoilers do to you.

Everyone has their favorite bit of Batman gear. The Batwing was mine. You can't go from the sleek, stylish and functional form, to this:



THAT is Nolan's source of inspiration, despite the VTOL rockets and cockpit. Say what you want, this kicks ass for Terminator flicks, but sucks for Batman.

Batman didn't kill Ras

A premeditated murder is to

"Think out or plan a murder"

Batman didn't plan to kill him, he planned to STOP him. And Batman didn't put Ras on the train. Ras got himself there. If anything, Gordons the murderer for blowing down the train legs.

If you think about it, Batman didn't need to be on that train with Ras. All that had to happen was those train legs being destroyed.

As for Two Face, I personally would call it an accident. It was a mistake.

But moreso, remember Wayne gives up being Batman for 8 years because of it. Consider this first kill of his the end of Batman. Its only when Bane rises up, that he must come back. He has to. Thats what TDKR is about. Can Wayne just come back as "Batman" after breaking his one rule?


@IM53

To be honest dude, I live in Miami but am probably the only non basketball fan here. I could care less. Still, there are times I feel bad for not caring. So, no betting, but I hope the Heat win

I don't think people will discover Batman's identity. The whole point of Batman being a symbol is that he is more than just a man. If they discover he is Bruce, it will be pretty obvious that there's nothing special about Batman.
Now, the Bat doesn't look good, they could have made a better design. For me, the best Batman gear of all movies is the Tumbler.
