First, if the prison was controlled by Bane, how is it that everyone was so eager to help Batman? I mean, he's got a doctor (well, a guy with a rope) over here, he's got a cynical old wise man over there, everyone's cheering him on when he's climbing up the wall...


It's a prison controlled by Bane. The people helping him were other prisoners. It's like asking "if this prison is controlled by the government, why is it that people inside it are so willing to break the government's laws?" Not much of a stretch at all. Nobody there likes the guy who condemned them to "hell on Earth".

As near as I can tell, if Batman hadn't broken out of the Pit, the plan was to just hang out, and then when the timer ran out, Gotham was destroyed. That's it. Which, fine, Gotham's gone, that's the goal, but why wait for the timer? Why not get to a safe distance and destroy Gotham? Talia's whole thing is to revive the League of Shadows and carry on its mission- there is nothing in her philosophy that necessitates dying.


Waiting for the timer was their idea of torturing Batman, feeding him hope that it could be prevented so he would know true despair. As for going a safe distance before it exploded, I don't know. I hope that was originally the plan, and Batman's return forced them to stay to deal with him, but that part wasn't clear at all.

That probably went against his philosophy. - 02/08/2012 04:23:28 AM 1273 Views
Well, his goal is despair. It'd be even more effective if there was a guard at the top. - 04/08/2012 03:12:45 AM 1184 Views
That's not the theme of it, though. - 04/08/2012 04:02:20 AM 1171 Views
