When is it mentioned again? I don't doubt it, just curious as I must have missed it.
Also at what point did Bruce have time to leave Blake some stuff in his will?
Edit:
About the 5 month thing. They mentioned it would take 6 months to decay. They also showed Bruce going into the pit cleanly shaven and over the next scenes with him he has more and more facial hair. Also the weather changing to snowy Gotham.

I really enjoyed it. Wish bats really died and they called robin Tim drake or something, but I liked the concept.
Good stuff.

When they talk about the bomb decay, and then in some other context I forget
Yeah, I agree. I wasn't a fan of Bain wimping out towards the end there. I guess he was starting to feel excruciating pain though, and the person he really cares for (and who is effectively the big boss) was there.
Bain was just so calm and powerful throughout the rest of the movie that that small bit seemed waaaaay too out of character.

I cannot extactly pin point it but the 5 months passing was deliberatly mentioned.
After 'Batman's' death, maybe? All they said about Wayne was that he died in a riot.

Bane.
Hmm... I'll see it again shortly so I'll watch for it. I really don't remember them ever flaout saying something about five months passing.

At any point after he met Blake (and was impressed) and before he took off with the bomb to take out across the water.

Just saw it, thought it was good, not awesome. Some thoughts:
- Super skeptical about Bane being the primary villain, since he's always been a cartoonish caricature in the past, but goddamn they knock it out of the park here
- They handled 'Robin' the way I always thought they should i.e. spend a whole movie setting him up, having him be much older, then at the very end boom Robin. His character was poorly realized however since it doesn't go through any arcs (he is never wrong about anything, ever)
- Movie was far too bloated, I enjoyed it tonight but I know it'll be painful on subsequent views. Remember, aspiring writers, creating something is the easy part, trimming it down is the skill
- I didn't recognize the actress that played Talia, so googled her. WTF she's like a DDD in the movie but a large B at best in all these google images lol
- Nolan brought back literally every single plot thread from the series EXCEPT the Joker, which felt really odd the entire time. What was he doing the whole time? Yes, I know Heath Ledger, but there wasn't even a single mention. I mean, fuck, several dead characters make reappearances, and the Joker is still alive
- The movie really needed Robin in costume with Batman at the end, as the ! at the end of the series. The entire audience was cheering when Batman told him to wear a mask, but alas it was a cocktease
- He's not going to become Nightwing because no one knows who the fuck that is, how does Warner Bros market that shit?
- BANE WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME
Oh please. I'd like to see you be a hard ass when you're getting stroked on the face by a lover. The Romans crucified slaves by the thousands before the supposed birth of the biblical Jesus Christ, and you think they didn't have the capacity to love their partner to the point of undying affection at the end of that dreary day?

The couple of days/weeks he had to rewrite his will while the city was recovering from occupation and loner, recluse Bruce Wayne was pronounced dead/missing & presumed dead.
It's not like everyone was like 'hey did you know Batman was Bruce Wayne, whatsisheleavemeinhiswill.

Wasn't that he got emotional. Batman was fucking up his mask, which means he was in more pain than normal. Thats why he went all ragey. Then catwoman literally blindsided him.

They really messed up the ending in the movie. Could have had Gordon find Batman washed up on the shoreline after the bomb explodes. Then he starts cradling his torched body
'YOU AINT DEAD UNTIL I TELL YOU! YOU HEAR ME? YOU AINT DEAD UNTIL I TELL YOU'
Then Batman's head falls off.

Blake didn't strike me as hot headed at all.
He was pretty even keel for the entire film, except when he was about to choke out the preacher for not getting those kids back on the bus.
All an act, son! Like outta some movie!
This is the only ideal ending in all propositions prior and after.

You just made me imagine Bane throwing Bruce a katana after his 'we are initiated' line. Then a full-on swordfight. D:

Nolan just trying to live up to Raimi's SM1.
Modine called him a hot head because he kept speaking up.
STFU Modine, go back in your home and hide! Let Blake do his god damn job!

Bruce went incognito with Selina. Everyone thinks he's dead, including Alfred.
If you paid attention to the movie earlier, Alfred tells him about his trip every year prior to Bruce coming back to Gotham to a restaurant in Italy, where he keeps hoping to see Bruce happily married.
Alfred finally saw it happen for real, and if you notice as well, he gets up to finally join them.

Mitt's opponents created a time machine, went back to 1993 and created 'Bane' just to troll him 20 years later!

Don't know if this was brought up already (I'm not reading the last 40 pages), but two small things I liked that most might just not pay attention to...
1. Batman and Catwoman fighting on the rooftop and Batman knocks the gun out of her hand then says, "No guns, no killing". I just really like that he stated it so firmly to her.
2. When Bruce was trying out the knee brace, his backwards/sideways kick where he breaks the brick wall was like a total 1 for 1 shot of him doing that to the tree trunk in Year One.

He was hotheaded when he was was subordinate to a superior officer (Modine) when Gordon is lost down the sewer and the grenade goes off.

"Don't tell Damian"
Interesting to read, because everybody I was with HATED the ending. I don't know that I hated it, but I thought it was pretty bad. So horribly cheesy and "let's tie up all these loose ends happily" Hollywood ending.

People saying JGL won't be Batman: he will. Or, in this story, that's the intention. Bruce tells him Batman's an idea, gives him the keys to the cave, fixes the Symbol to let Gordon know that Batman - the idea, the concept - will be back. Many things about this film are confusing: the end isn't one of them.

Actually, the ideal ending would have been for us to hear reports about the nuclear fallout causing strange effects on the animal population. And then we hear the Godzilla roar.

What are you talking about. This is a completely original idea. So anyway, then Lau comes back and shoots and Wayne's corpse, talking about diplomatic immunity. Gordon's gun is a few feet away from him, but Trish accidentally dropped some eggs around him and now he's trapped by egg yolks.
Just think: if Schumacher had the helm, he would've made Batman state it as a matter of fact before gyrating on to her behind, and then grabbing Blake out of nowhere and thrusting in to his groin.
Is this why all of those dumb executives applauded the shit out of the initial preview? They saw the continuing dollar trail?

Hey, did Ghul need to drive the truck with the bomb in it in order to flood the chamber? Was there a console in the truck that she needed? She could have flooded that chamber earlier and saved herself from dying, right? Damn, I've had too many...
Weird in what way? Pacing? Because plotwise it made complete sense.

Damn, and she left her little blond friend to go shack up with Bruce?
That's cold as ice. And I have a Sub-Zero avatar
One would assume that he'd have a secret stash. That's how I interpreted it.

I think they sold the pearls or got some money from the blonde girl thief from Catwoman's apartment. I just want to know how they were all at the same bistro and Alfred wasn't flipping his shit out at the sight of Bruce.

Should have been a scene of him finding his hidden suit case of money.
How does that work out? Batman "dies" and Gotham is saved, Bruce Wayne shows up to edit his will to include Blake and then mysteriously dies without even one of the major characters (Alfred, Gordon, Blake) catching wind of it?
So he decides to leave the legacy of the cowl to a guy who he met once and only because he deduced his identity?
