The Dark Knight Rises

Am I the only one who wants to see two Batmen in the final showdown?

As in a 2v1, or 1v1 with two Batmen? Cause if it's against Bane, then I'll choose a 1v1.

Sort of like 2 Batmen in the final act, taking down Bane's operations left and right, leading to the "Batman is everywhere!" comments from everyone. Finally, Bane gets smart, figures out their plan, and has his goons take one down, causing the last one to have to face him one on one.

I agree that 2 Batmen VS 1 Bane would not be a fair or suspenseful fight.

The 2 Batmen thing could also culminate in an ending of the movie where not even the audience knows who Batman really is.

I, frankly, don't want to read through the other 1500+ comments. I'd like to ask this. Are the producers obviously just not showing Bane on Venom, to keep it a surprise for those who don't know his origins/suspense? I mean, they wouldn't take the Venom from Bane, would they? O.o

Venom may be what he's using to stop the pain he's in.

I don't think Venom is the gist of Bane. That's what other takes on him think, with the big tank on his back and all that (I'm looking at you, Arkham Asylum), but originally in Knightfall he was meant to be someone who's stronger than Batman, but just as smart. He was there to break the bat and he wouldn't stop until he had done so.

Venom is just a tool he used to get to achieve those goals, but the true meaning of Bane's existence is what Nolan seems to have captured perfectly.

That last trailer was f**** intense, I cannot wait for this movie. Bane is going to kick ***. This, I think, will be movie of the year.

the movie of my life!

And we're all sure it's a trilogy? What if Bane breaks Batman's back (like in Knightfall) and they just don't release movies for a few years, and who knows, he'll be back after that, or what?

(Please bear with me guys, I like the movies a lot, but I'm not an über fan, I haven't followed all the articles, etc about it.)

Yes, this is Nolans last Batman movie.

I apologize if this has already been mentioned on this thread or on any other thread on these forums, but I had a thought. In Batman Begins, Ra's al Ghul mentions how he had a wife, but he lost her. With Bane in TDKR, many people have pointed out how Bane is linked to the League of Shadows. Now, this is my theory. What if Bane is the murderer of Ra's wife. I can see a scenario already playing out as to how this would work. Ra's could have trained Bane for a time, only for Bane to betray him to prove to Ra's that he is willing to kill no matter what the circumstance. This could mean that the League is hunting Bane, and in the end, Batman actually has to lead the them in the final fight for Gotham.
