Bikes At The Stock Exchange
He already had his men placed as workers there..No wonder they managed to bring bikes in there..And although I don't know about that building at all, but if it had a basment parking, then i can certainly imagine that once under siege, the captors can achieve something of that sort...
Security at Applied Sciences-In ‘The Dark Knight’, Batman himself couldn’t get into the Applied Sciences division at Wayne Towers without Lucius Fox getting a security breach alert. In this movie, Bane blows a hole in the warehouse floor and sends his entire army up from the sewers without Fox having a clue
Well, Miranda Tate/Talia probably had a lot to do with that..
Bruce Wayne’s back recovery
All Bane did was give him a slipped/protruded disc.
Granted it was pretty severe, and i don't know why people are having a problem with the prison doctor using chiropractic therapy to fix it, when that is the number 1 treatment (next to steroid injections) to fix slipped/protruding disc's
In most cases there is a 70% increase in recovery within 12 weeks using chiropractics and an exercise regime.
Now take into account you had a prison doctor push the disc back into place,physical therapy to where he could stand again and get back into training, while showing much improvement in 5 months, it doesn't seem impossible, especially given Bruce's determination and willpower.
If people can show 70% improvement from just as serious injuries in 12 weeks...
You'd be amazed at what the human body with a strong will can do.
Bruce Wayne’s Return to Gotham
The prison was located in Tibet, (or somewhere else, India may be). When Bane seized the reactor, it was mentioned that they had about 5 months before it blew up. Even with the recovery, that gives Bruce enough time for a return trip from anywhere in the world. The same way he had access to "Cleanslate", he just had friends in the right places, which might've helped him get back to US. Gotham wasn't technically quarantined, as food shipments were allowed in. Citizens just weren't allowed out. Though sneaking in and out is kind of Batman's forte..
Now, about Bruce's return...
Wayne Manor is located inside the city limits but is likely not on the island. There's far too much open land.
And I'm pretty certain the last time we saw The Bat before it's on the rooftop, Batman lands it in The Batcave.
So, assuming that's correct...
Bruce gets back to the US and then to Wayne manor. He goes to The Batcave, retrieves The Bat, lands it on the building and disguises it,( bringing that thing inside Gotham wouldn't be difficult as it can fly really low to the surface).
Batman’s Pyrotechnics Display - The guy has 12 hours to diffuse an atomic bomb, and somehow he found the time to set up a giant fiery bat signal on top of a bridge? Again, without anyone noticing! Sure, why not?
Well, nobody noticed because he is the goddamn Batman !!...And about the fire, its about restoring hope to the people of Gotham..Letting them know that it's time to fight back and they are not alone in this..That's the whole point of movie.. BB: Fear, TDK: Chaos; TDKR:Redemption/Rise
Batman manages to send the bomb out to sea in a scene straight from ‘Captain America’, before it explodes somewhere over the water. However, it doesn’t travel that far before detonation. We’re told the bomb has a blast radius of about 6 miles. For comparison’s sake, the Hiroshima bomb, whose effects still linger today, had a radius of 1. And that’s just the explosion, mind you, not the radiation it emanates.
Well, not sure how far The Bat went, it was still flying at very high speeds until the detonation..also I've noticed a lot of people saying the detonation was not real because a tsunami would've hit the shore. That probably would be true if this was a conventional nuclear weapon, but it isn't, it's a neutron bomb. Here's what Wikipedia has to say: A neutron bomb or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW) or weapon of reinforced radiation is a type of thermonuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation (fast neutrons) rather than explosive energy.Neutron bombs are purposely designed with explosive yields lower than other nuclear weapons. This is because neutrons are absorbed by air, so a high-yield neutron bomb is not able to radiate neutrons beyond its blast range and so would have no destructive advantage over a normal hydrogen bomb. This intense pulse of high-energy neutrons is intended as the principal killing mechanism, not the fallout, heat or blast. And you're free to go to
http://www.nuclearsecrecy.com/... and simulate a 4000 kt blast off the shore so you can see the blast radius can clearly be away from the city.
Batman's life
The only shot you see of him in The Bat pre-explosion is a brief 4 or 5 seconds after he blew up the top of a building to clear way (can't cut corners with a neutron bomb hanging off the plane). in this shot (when the bat has already been shown to be over water) Batman's mask reflect a series of shadows he's travelling past, presumably other buildings casted upon him whilst in some sort of ejected pod, but impossible if he were actually in the Bat. this was an incredibly clever touch and something people completely missed watching the 1st time.
