Rising From The Abyss: (How and Why Bruce Wayne Escaped From Batman)
Evidence or Behind the Scenes
For those of you who have the film in IMAX, The Dark Knight Reborn, The Fire Rises, The Journey of Bruce Wayne and The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy, this should be easy.
Film In IMAX
Look at the debris and smoke very closely when The Bat emerges from the exploding building, a very good hiding place for an escape pod, now look at the design of The Bat through the rest of the movie, from both the outside and inside it looks as if the front and back halfs of the cockpit are designed to be seperated, now look at The Bat again, for most of the movie it's cockpit is sleek, except when The Bat carries the reactor away from Gotham, it look's a bit stumpy, as if half of it was missing.
Music
The Intro theme=he's up to something
Batman Escape theme=he's going to be ok
Main Batman Theme= he's safe
The Dialogue
Bruce is extremely secretive after he returns to Gotham, lying about the autopilot, and not responding to Blake after he says "I might not get a chance to say thanks later", when he tells Selina he hasn't given everything yet as if what was coming was going to be his masterpiece.
Travel to Gotham
He must have come up with a rough idea of what to do, plan B being getting the reactor away from Gotham in case ANYTHING went wrong, I doubt he counted on Talia Al Ghul to mess it up but he could still pull it off.
Clues
The Autopilot, he must have snuck in to applied sciences after faking his death to leave a breadcrumb for Fox.
The Batsignal, again after the explosion, with so much mayhem going on he could have replaced it.
The Cave and the Duffel Bag, He wanted Blake to be Gotham's New Protector
Interviews
The Journey of Bruce Wayne
David Goyer: He decides he wants to live, it's that fear of death that gives him a reason to live,
The lesson that Bruce has to learn at a certain point is he's got to walk away from Gotham and his anger,
The only way he's going to live and not die, is if he lets go of the anger and in order to let go of the anger, he has to let go of Gotham, of The Billionaire Playboy, of The Dark Knight, of all of it,
He has to decide "Okay, what I've done's good enough"
The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy
Christian Bale: that's where we've got to be in the final film: What's his choice going to be?
Anne Hathaway: I think Bruce owes Selina a thank you because she showed him that there's still people he can play with.
The Fire Rises:
Christian Bale is on the set when they shoot the funeral scene, so technically, Bruce Wayne was in the vicinity of his own funeral.
The Dark Knight Reborn
You guys have to find that one yourselves
Selina Kyle
The Filmakers tried to hide Talia Al Ghul, but in doing so, people who watched the movie who know of Talia and Batman's comic book history, missed the whole relationship between Batman and Catwoman, while Miranda Tate "throws herself at him" he pursues Selina, she's no one's pet, but she cares about him just as much we see that when she helps Batman save Gotham
You've seen the Evidence
So for those of you who are on board with this, get ready...
