The big "twist" wasn't a twist or surprise to anyone vaguely familiar with Batman's story or the casting news. It was a natural progression for the story to take, and it was an understandable surprise for Bruce, who had no reason to believe Bane wasn't the child who had climbed out of the pit and who in his close association with Ra's Al-Ghul had reason to believe the latter had no surviving family.


It was to me :P. From the first trailer where I heard Bane's voice, I thought he sounded like Liam Neeson's Ra's al-Ghul. So when they set up the red herring with Bane as Ra's' son, I was already there.

This leads to the inevitable facepalm moment afterwards :P.

On the flip side, I misheard Detective Blake's name as "Drake" so I kinda stumbled right into that one :P.

That probably went against his philosophy. Fanatic-Templar - 02/08/2012 04:23:28 AM 1048 Views
Well, his goal is despair. It'd be even more effective if there was a guard at the top. beetnemesis - 04/08/2012 03:12:45 AM 952 Views
That's not the theme of it, though. Nate - 04/08/2012 04:02:20 AM 925 Views
