comicbookguy37 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I always took Ra's saying "you burnt my house and left me for dead" as a reference to Bruce allowing the fake Ra's to die at the start rather than Ducard himself. If that makes sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Thats a pretty good theory, its a shame it didn't come across that way to most of the audiance. Nice work new guy, wilkommen to the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 The best use of Martha Wayne, as far as I'm concerned, is in "Whatever Happened to The Caped Crusader." Thomas only has one line, Martha is a huge part of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 By the way, I know Ian loves Carry On but Kenneth Williams did not play the Scarecrow. Just saying. In that he'd been dead 17 years by that point, it would have come as a bit of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm picturing it now: Batman: Jim Dale Robin: Charles Hawtrey Batgirl: Hattie Jacques Joker: Sid James Pengin: Kenneth Connor Scarecrow: Bernard Cribbins The Riddler: Kenneth Williams Catwoman: Barbara Windsor Bane: Bernard Bresslaw Alfred: Peter Butterworth Poison Ivy: Joan Sims Comissioner Gordon: Leslie Phillips I'd watch that!

Molly Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Oh, and on the microwaves: I'd always assumed they traveled along the pipes, you know to take out the water, specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicbookguy37 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I just watched the end of the film again and when Bruce is pushed under the beam and Ra's says "you burnt my house and left me for dead. consider us even." the camera moves over Bruce and he is in exactly the same position as fake-Ra's was during his death. Which makes me love my theory even more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Here's the thing: the microwave emitter was specifically designed to neutralize an enemy's water supply, not make people explode. It must be very specifically calibrated to vaporize large bodies of water, and nothing else. After all, if it actually emitted simple wide-dispersal microwaves, EVERYTHING would be nuked, not just water, and not just people. Every living thing would crumple and die, the city would be burnt to ashes, metal would explode, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Then why was the ship destroyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Then why was the ship destroyed? Its water pipes exploded. And it was sitting in A SEA OF BOILING WATER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah, the ship being destroyed and not the train is... wonky logic at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah, the ship being destroyed and not the train is... wonky logic at best. Ships have a great deal of water and steam pipes to regulate their function. An electric train has no such issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicbookguy37 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've just thought of something else related to the Ra's decoy, and the decoy shown at the party later on; what if these are meant to be Nolan's versions of the Ubu family. A constant slew of near-identical Asian men dedicated to serving Ra's al Ghul. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damndirtyape Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Great episode guys. Been waiting for this review for a long time and well worth the wait it was too. On the subject of Bruce saying he learned about the criminals but he never truly became one of them. I took it as the crimes he was committing when he was caught. As he seemed to be stealing things from his own company, as the boxes he was stealing had Wayne Industries stamped all over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Or that he never became part of their social mindset. Kind of like how you can be in a group of people, but still not be "one of them." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
