The story starts with Antonio Diego being walked down a prison hallway into a room where he meets a very beautiful young woman. Diego is taken aback from her appearance and asks what he was called in for. the woman reveals herself as Talia (she doesnt mention Al Ghul). she asks what he is doing in prison and what his story is.
We are taken into flashbacks of his childhood. He is with his father in a car along with other men. they are armed as if they are going to rob a bank. Antonio is holding a teddy bear and looks innocent. they are talking in Spanish saying that this is their last chance at getting money to move out of the corrupt system that they live in. It is also mentioned that Antonio's father is a wanted man, with a Dead or Alive price on his head. they approach the bank and all men get out with weapons concealed, except for Antonio's dad. He looks at his son and kisses him on the forehead. he hands him a knife and tells him to protect himself and that soon they will escape and live in peace. He leaves his son locked in the car. Antonio is clutching the knife.
After a while gunshots are heard and sirens are sounding at a distance. Antonio's dad can be seen running outside shooting at the police. One of the men he was with approaches the car busts his way in. A cop seizes him and shoots him dead. he sees Antonio and takes him out the car. The police wound his dad and his son is brought in front of him. then they shoot Antonio's dad to death in front of him. Antonio is seen crying and clutches his bear tightly.
We are back in the prison room. Antonio explains that he was sent to jail for the rest of his life in place of his father, who only wanted to escape a corrupt system. Talia explains that he doesn't have to live like this. She points out his great intellect in languages, science, and mentions his physical strength. She says she can bail him out and asks him why how he managed to survive being achild in a man's world...he explains that nothing was easy.
We are in another flashbakc...where he is still a child, being locked up in a cell. he is sharing it with a lunatic who approaches him and tries to bully and hurt him. He grabs his bear and takes out the knife his dad gave him from a hole in it, and stabs the man on the neck. He bleeds to death, and the guards come in.
It has been a few years since that incident and he can be seen stealing a book from a book shelf and runs into a hole on the wall and comes out another hole into his cell. He is seen reading it with much interest. and hides it from an approaching gurad. in hole on the ground it is seen that he has been doing this for quite a while since it is full of books.
(yet again another flashback) he is seen in the courtyard lifting weights and being spectated by a few goons. they end up exchanging looks and words and fight. with Antonio coming out the victor. time passes by and we notice that he has gained much respect from the inmates. they reffer to him as Bane.
Back in real-time, he explains that he cannot leave, he is the "king" of this prison. Talia asks him what he fears. Bane (antonio) says that he doesnt quite fear anymore as much as he hates. he hates the corrupt system...he wants revenge he wants a quantum of peace. Talia tells him about the League of Shadows, and how they are a secret organization that stabilize society by harsh but necessary measures. She talks about Gotham City and how it is corrupt and is being run by a fearful criminal by the name of Batman. Bane seems lost but understands. He doesnt know what to do. She tells him that his release is already paid and that it is up to him. She tells him to walk to a certain area and wait for a van. She leaves.
Bane walks to the area fore mentioned. Now a free-man, he realizes he can do a lot of things by himself. he has dominated a whole prison even as a teenager. He took control of a corrupt society without help. He leaves the area and travels far. Away from the place.
(now i am going to summarize my main points)
Catwoman is in on a crime scene due to Batman's absence. She is really an employee at Wayne Enterprises. She is different in that she is extremely violent compared to Batman who is incorruptible.
Bruce is trying to live more of a normal life and only comes out when the bat signal is up since a lot of Gotham's criminals are locked up and the joker is in Arkham.
He meets Selina Kyle (catwoman) and invites her to dinner after a flirtatious conversation.
Back in Wayne Manor, Alfred warns him of his limits and of his intentions of getting too attached to a woman and recalls the Rachel Tragedy. Bruce continues on with his plans.
during dinner they eat and have an ironic conversation on batman and catwoman. she explains her life and how complicated it was. (she doesn't reveal that she was forced into a covert criminal life early on by her father).
Police sirens are heard and Bruce notices the Bat Signal, and fakes a getaway faking a cellphone emergency. She explains that she left the stove on at her home and both of them bail out.
they meet in the crime scene as batman and catwoman and fight the criminals who are working for a new mob head. after a brutal battle they are speechless. she interrogates a goon and beats him badly, batman says it isn't necessary. she ends up killing the goon after getting two words out of him. Black Mask. Batman chases after her as she flees. but fails to catch up. police see the dead body and batman and assume it was him that killed him. He flees.
(speeding things even more)
Black Mask is holding a meeting with a few people and plans to reconstruct organized crime after Harvey Dent's success. Deadshot is seen standing next to him clutching a pistol. He is his body guard. (wish i could go into black Masks origins but i don't have time, please add something and also link him with Deadshot).
They plan to release the inmates from gotham's prison.
Bane is seen coming out of a car in Gotham, into a library where he opens a Gotham History book. and turns to a bookmarked page that reads : arkham asylum. A librarian passes by and notices him. she mentions that he goes there alot and asks about his enthusiasm for books. he is polite and explains that they are a great tool to learn.
Batman meets Lt. Gordon and warns him about catwoman and her violent ways. Gordon tells him that he will keep an eye out for her.
Bane is seen at a bar where he learned that a lot of goon hang out. and follows one out the door. when no one sees him. he seizes the small goon and drags him in his car. He takes him out in an alley and holds him up with a bear hug. where is Batman he asks. the goon is frightened and his spine is cracking from the bear hug. he yelps and tells him that batman is his own man. a betrayer, a man of no sides. He works alone. curiously bane asks who he works for. Black Mask he answers. Bane drowns him and leaves him dead. Batman works alone heh? they have something in common. he wants to compete and eliminate Batman who he thinks is a criminal mastermind who needs to be eliminated at all costs.
(things speed up alot now)
Bane interrupts a Black Mask meeting and they all meet. (Bane has adopted a luchador mask to hide his true face). Bane learns of their plan to release the inmates, and says he could help. not mentioning his true goal is to take down Batman and then dealing with Black Masks regime, he will fight a corrupt system he will help prosper. It is crazy but he believes it is necessary. He will do his own thing thought, he will let them release the inmates while he releases the freaks from Arkham. He expects the batman to try and fight the criminals and he will wait so that batman can reach his limit to break him down entirely.
Bruce and Selina are basically very close now and they have frequent dates and affairs now and then. He gives her the pendant that Rachel gave back to him in Batman Begins as a gift.
When the criminals and freaks are released, batman goes through a huge stressful life. with Catwoman murdering criminals and the police thinking he did it. the police want him dead now, even thought Gordon knows the truth he cant speak. Alfred leaves Bruce's home saying that he pushed his limits.
Talia visits Bane and he is surprised to see her. She explains that her father was killed by batman and that her father was only trying to do good in "fixing" Gotham. she also reveals that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne. He heads to Wayne Manor where Bruce is exhausted. they fight a brutal fight and Bane finishes Bruce off by breaking his back. he is paralyzed and Bane leaves with Batman's mask and suit (he takes it to assure him of his victory, a prize). he has defeated batman.
Fox storms in and sees Bruce badly beaten, he fixes him up and promises he will be up and running soon. but how soon? Crime has risen again.
Catwoman knows where Black Mask is and fights him almost defeating him, she is shot below her shoulder by a sniper bullet. the work of deadshot.
bane comes in and fights Deadshot, he is commencing his plan to betray Black Mask. He defeats deadshot by throwing him off a building and rushes to see a wounded Catwoman. Deadshot lives by grabbing on to a building side staircase and flees. Black Mask flees. Catwoman questions his intentions while he is in the process of killing her, he tells her all about his plans, and how Gotham needs a Hero. She explains that Batman is a hero and he is incorruptible. taken aback he lets her leave, and he flees the scene.
Fox introduces a new suit to Batman, and a new vehicle as well. to replace the tumbler. Bruce is healing and he learns that the suit will reinforce his spine with robotic technology in that area and that it also gives him an electrical overcharge ability and a strength boost. something he will need against Bane.
With Bane researching and learning Bruce's life he figures that he is the same as Bruce. a man trying to fight a corrupt system. He feels as if he doesn't belong there, he feels alone, and already defeated. He was manipulated by Talia to carry out her revenge on batman for her fathers death. He also learns about Rachel and the whole tragedy. He notes that batman is trying to live a normal life by dating Selina.
Catwoman warns Batman of black Mask and is sorry for her violent acts on criminals. Batman says that getting on with a plan is necessary. So they plan on attacking Black Mask. Black Mask is waiting for them with a lot of goons, and Deadshot, scarecrow is there too, the joker is mentioned to be running off doing his own thing (in respect to Ledger), A battle rages as batman and catwoman enter the scene. Catwoman is badly injured during combat by Deadshot. Batman defeats Deadshot. and Scarecrow. but is attacked by Black Mask. With Catwoman and Batman injured, Black Mask goes over and stabs batman with a knife. Batman holds Black Masks arm to prevent the dagger from going in deeper and overcharges his suit, leaving Black Mask paralyzed. He rushes over to catwoman and feels neck to see if she is alright, he notices a familiar looking pendant, the one that he gave Selina. he takes off her mask and Selina is staring at him. He is surprised and she looks alarmed. he tells her its alright and he takes off his Mask. They both seem like its awkward but at the same time it is touching before he can land a kiss on her, sirens are heard. Police are outside. Bruce tells Selina to leave. He said he will turn himself in. he pushed his limits. Bane pops out of nowhere in Batman's old suit and Bruce tries to fight him. Bane halts and tells him that he made a mistake. he is sorry for what happened and that he just wants Bruce to live a normal life. He will take up his place as Batman and fight what he caused.Bruce takes Selina and escapes unseen. Bane catches the Police's attention and flees as well.
A year passes and most of the criminals are in jail again. A new DA is fighting crime effectively. Bruce and Selina get engaged. Alfred returns. Fox retires.
Bruce will never wear his suit again. Bane slips a letter through his door and Bruce reads it. He is leaving. He fixed what he caused and Gotham is in good hands with the new authority. Bruce learns about Talia and he tell Bane that if he ever needed her again she would be in the League of Shadows lair somewhere in Asia.
Bane is in jail somewhere in Asia and is being walked down a hallway into a room. He looks different as he is fully bearded. A pretty young lady is sitting in front of him. It is Talia. she asks him the same questions that she asked him before. He knows who she is but she doesn't know who he is. he accepts a request to journey up the mountain near the area carrying a local flower up to the door step of a structure. At this point i ran out of ideas, feel free to fill in the last scene....:)
