Yeah that did strike me as pretty terrible acting when she died.

I thought she said something about being involved with them well before that took place - that she was indebted to Bane and Daggart for something in the past, which is why she had to steal the prints in order to get the program to help her escape with a clean slate.

Though, I was less concerned about her relationship with Bane and more curious about who her character was. She just picked up super-ninja skills from the street? She could break a man's wrist by doing a cartwheel. You've gotta give me something if you're going to create a character like that.

That was cheesy. One thing I noticed was during the big fight between the cops and league of shadows. A huge guy charges on the front line, pulls back his fist like he's going to punch someone, then runs about 3 rows deep and just stands still in front of another guy.

Talia. Ok, isn't Talia supposed to love Bruce Wayne? Like an unending, obsessive, everlasting love for Bruce and the type of love that pushes her to destroy shite just to be with him for eternity?



I hope to see a batman film with Talia done this way. She's a great character in the comics and deserves a bigger role than what she got here.

I thought Bane sounded a little too cartoonish

I liked it, but the entire time I was hoping for an explanation for his loud, booming voice. Like something with his mask that amplifies his sounds.

In all honesty, that brawl at the end between the cops and the bad guys is best viewed from a distance- big groups of people rolling into each other.
Big guy- that being the big cop with the "traffic cop" reflector tape stripes, that is kinda the center of focus? That's who I watched, and he does nothing, even when they pan back.

Question to those who watched the film a bunch now- does anyone really start swinging? Where to focus the gaze on a repeat viewing?

Yea it sounded like he had a microphone on him the whole time. I got over it though and it didn't bother me.

the only part I thought was really creepy was when they were at the football game and the field just exploded (or whatever) and all the players died

And coaches.

Bill Cowher was on the sidelines. Anyone else notice that?

Oh, and other familiar faces - Carcetti and Colvin from The Wire.

Bane's speech about true suffering requiring hope that was so close but always out of reach was pretty creepy.

What was her relationship with Bane?


She didn't really have a relationship with Bane. She was hired by Daggett to get Bruce Wayne's fingerprints so Bane and his mercs could storm the stock exchange and bankrupt Wayne, thus putting Daggett at the head of Wayne Enterprises. When she completes her task, Daggett tries to have her killed to tie up loose ends.

Yeah, looked like they had more than a few Steelers on the sideline. I noticed WR Mike Wallace as well near Big Ben.
