Dr Mid-nite, Lady Dr Mid-nite, and I'm sure I am forgetting another doctor type, should have just performed comic book surgery while his psychic girlfriend and Mr Terrific helped him through rehab. Wally West helps Nightwing and Robin beat Bane in a weekend, Superman gives Jean-Paul a hug, and it is over in three issues. Darkseid serves a deus ex to allow Bane to escape, Bane tells him to get lost, then Amanda Waller drafts him into the Suicide Squad.
Dick spends a couple of years comic time as Batman while Bruce rebuilds himself.
I'm not sure how I would have Bruce fight Bane, because Bane is a better tactician and fighter than Bruce is. Bruce would have to cheat somehow.
I guess the whole point was to show that Batman was too grim for batarang guns though. Jean-Paul's Batman armor was one hell of a thing though, goddamn. Is that what happens when you do coke and Ketamine and try to wash the coke drips down with absinth, the day after your Dad steals your girlfriend from you?

They wanted Knightfall to be contained in the Bat-titles otherwise once Bats is gone the Justice League or one of the big guns can clean up Gotham, and Bane, in under a week. Not to mention fixing Bruce spine with alien technology or magic quickly which would have made BatAzrael irrelevant.

I haven't seen the film yet obviously, but Ebert's opinion is always one I'm interested in hearing even if I don't necessarily agree with it
Shit, he gave The Avengers a three-star review as well
Ebert's a hit & miss critic. When he's on he's great, however if he thinks the movie's boring or shitty his reviews aren't worth much. It sounds like he zoned out when Bane was around. I read his review and he didn't seem to pay much attention to Bane's motives which I doubt Nolan fucked up. Nolan pays incredible attention to detail, especially examining the motives with the big bad's and how they contrast with Batman.

My favorite analysis on Film Post-9/11, because it's probably accurate, is the switch in horror films. Basically the argument is that, after the terror induced by 9/11 audiences weren't scared by Monsters, and so humans had to become the monsters, hence Saw and Hostel etc.
"The Descent" was pretty good, "Monsters" was pretty good, "Eight Legged Freaks" had its charm, the new "Fright Night" was pretty good, "The Hills Have Eyes" remake was pretty good, the "I Am Legend" remake was alright mostly, the "Paranormal Activity" movies are goddamn terrible but people seem to like them, there's been a whole shitload of Exorcist-ish movies, on and on

I'm trying to think of other "city gets fucked" movies. I guess Armageddon is retroactively a 9/11 reference?
Man what, there have been all kinds of sucessful monster movies after 9/11 and all kinds of sadistic "man is the monster" movies before it
American Monster movies released after 9/11 that have been successful? Cloverfield (which had clear allusions to 9/11) and what else?
The Ring
The Grunge
Dawn of the Dead
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Wolfman
Eight Legged Freaks
Jason X
Queen of the Damned
Resident Evil
Dreamcatcher
Darkness Falls
Jeepers Creepers 2.

I mean come on... There are a lot.
I refuse to believe The Wolfman was successful. So bad.
I guess you guys are right, it's not a very strong argument, but I like the analysis none the less.

apologies for the scan quality
Yeah you just walk it the fuck off right?
Satans..... hints.....
If I were you I'd look up the definition of can, and eventually.
Seriously though its hard and rare but it does happen.

which is exactly why nobody ever mentioned it again

That's my plan
That can't be a coincidence, right?
Satans..... hints.....
Just like Barbara Gordon!
to be fair, her back wasn't broken, a bullet went through it
http://www.mondotees.com/The_Dark_Knight_Rises_p_535.html
She's refused treatment, though. With the universe she's in and the connections she has a bullet through the spine wouldn't keep her down for long.
Those are pretty bad
Basically he just thinks Bane is a boring villain

I hate how every film reviewer out there seems to think that a bad thing happening in a major city is "obviously meant to evoke 9/11"
Fuck you
This is the exact same type of shit that was happening in film long before then, 9/11 didn't change shit

I will pretentiously review this review without seeing the movie.
It is my destiny.

On the other side, for Batman, it is sort of okay as Batman's rogue gallery is comprised of a lot of terrorists.
So....?
What, by being a horribly shitty movie?
