You thought Batman was a hero...but in true Film Theory style, today's episode tells a VERY different story. Batman in the Dark Knight Rises is supposed to be the realest, grittiest Batman EVER, but there's a MASSIVE scientific and logical error at the end of the Dark Knight Rises that shows Batman for what he actually is: a REAL failure.

well lets keep in mind helicopters can only go so fast. a. traditional helicopter with a single proppeller blade on top (aside from the rudder blade used to keep the copter from spiinning out).which may be what the bat copter is unless I didnt notice forward propellers. The thrust used to keep the copter up and move it forward will be too great on the side where the blades move "with the grain" too commpensate and the copter tilts.

[@measl]

*You actually **_did_** forget an option: one of the reasons they tested many nukes under the ocean is for the damping effect of water (since water is uncompressable). He doesn't need to get 6 miles out: he only needs to get 3 miles out, and then dump the bomb in the water - the damping of the water would prevent blast injury to most everyone, while a large majority of the fallout would be returned to the water after the blast created the cloud and it's associated radioactive steam. Yes, lots of folks would get dead, but it wouldn't be from the detonation, it would be from after the fact fallout and possibly tsunami.*

I think someone pointed out the big flaw in their theory: that the Bat would only be as fast as the fastest helicopter. That's the thing. It is. The film is set in some kind of alternate future. The Bat actually has jet propellors (you can see it as it's leaving the bay). So yes, it's way faster than the fastest helicopter.

[@AlyxDG]

Well from what we can see Batman isn’t going 140 mph in Gotham. Even if you take into account that Bat Copter is faster than the fastest copter, he still won’t be going top speed at all and Gotham will still be (at least) irradiated.

Dear, Matpat I loved your video. Although, there were a few problems that popped up for instance the batcopter in the comics was a common helocopter that fit usally one but could fit two people in some forms also called the whirlybat. Well that's not the same in The Dark Night Rises that seems to be more of the batplane plus no one calls it the bat copter not even Lucius Fox calls it that (he calls it the bat) I think that a plane can go alot faster than the fastest helocopter in the world. But besides that this is a bit more minor Gotham is actually set in New Jersey not Manhattan I know that the shots of Gotham are clips of Manhattan but I wanted to adress those hicups. BUT THAT'S JUST A THEROY A COMMENT THEROY AND SUBMIT P.S I really love your videos and am very sorry for any errors.

Is it right to assume that the speed of the bat would be equal to the fastest helicopter? I mean this movie has some massively unrealistic gadgets and crap that are far beyond what we have today, so who's to say his helicopter doesn't travel faster then the fastest helicopter?

[@sweekayrasta9468]

There is a maximum force and wieght a structure can endure, but in most superhero movies it seem like those law doesn't apply often so we really don't know, and we can't say something out of that. But if the law of physic really work in those movies ( like, all of them ), and if the helicopter is made with a really light and strong material, I guess with my knowledge that it could had travelled a little faster, but we shall refer to an expert in helicopter to confirm if it is possible. Anyway, don't let a theory ruin your appreciation of the movie, it wasn't intended to do so, just a "not so fun fact" to know and say that the bomb shall always have a little more time for make out and say good bye lul. Next time mat shall call an expert to know if it would be possible in the scenario I describ( with the light and strong material we don't have). (Sorry I'm not the best in english)

[@dante224real1]

before i even watch, let me point something out: the movies were written TO SPECIFICALLY SHOW that batman himself was the problem. every one of the villains were brough to gotham in some way by batman's existence. the Al Ghuls, Bane, the Joker (who was a direct response to batman), two face (was in the position thanks to batman's funding and social support, and was brought to his mental condition through the joker). everything that went wrong was in part due to batman being around. its why bruce wayne decided to end it at the end. he realized it was all his fault, and gave up his vigilateism.

[@fernandoerazo5879]

+Daniel Williams before i watched it, I thought the video was about this topic too but thats why we should watch the video before commenting :P

[@Citrakite]

+Daniel Williams No they weren't. Ras was going to burn the place to the ground before he even found Bruce in that Chinese prison and only recruited him because his first attempt (economics) didn't work. Ras made him Batman not the other way around. Ras made Talia and Bane who they were as well, not Batman. She had massive daddy issues and Bane had a boner for Talia. Scarecrow was a sick fuck before Batman showed up, Marconi was the same gang leader he was Seven years ago when Bruce left if not worse. Joker himself existed before the Cowl. He might be a response as Gordon put it (wearing a mask and creeping around rooftops) but all that evil and sickness was there before. He just gave him a counterbalance. Gotham made them both. Only one that is Batman's fault is Harvey. Not because Joker lied and sent him to the wrong place so he saved him instead of Rachel, but that he got him involved trying to be the hero Gotham deserved and that's why Joker broke him because he wasn't the symbol Bruce wanted him to be. He was a man and as Bruce said himself a man can be broken, killed, or ignored. Harvey dying made him that symbol but at the cost of a massive deception. He 'died' a hero, an immortal symbol, and an iconic guide to those who would follow him (Robin). That is why he hung up the tights and went to Cannes.

[@dante224real1]

joker was joker because batman was batman. the joker made himself as a counter example. watch the movie again and really listen. batman brought the Ras's to the city because of his batman antics. bruce wayne realized it at the end.

[@Citrakite]

Daniel Williams I suggest you take your own advice. Ras admitted they tried before and their effort is essentially what made Bruce turn into Batman. He did not bring them there. They were already there as far back as Bruce, age 9. Joker is referenced at the end of Begins as well when he barely started operating at the Batman. Joker fixated on him as his perceived opposite. Only one Bruce caused was Two-face.

[@JohnSmith-te4ll]

+Citrakite if you knew anything about the Joker's backstory, you'd know it was Batman who chased him, an innocent man who'd just lost his wife and unborn child, into a vat of acid, creating the Joker villain. This happened in Bruce's early days of being Batman and which is why the Joker is so fixated on him. Joker is Batman's fault, only I don't know if he ever knows that.

Batman clearly states when attaching the bomb to the Bat "I can get it out over the bay" which implies that Gotham City (in Chris Nolan's universe at least) is right besides the ocean. Nolan's Gotham City isn't necessarily based upon NYC since in the Dark Knight Trilogy cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and London were also filming locations for Gotham.

[@thriftyfreebies]

But, even if we accept that Gotham was saved, what effect would the bomb have had on Batman? Surely he was within the radius of the bomb when he (presumably) evacuated his Batcopter...? Or was his Batcopter conveniently nuclear bomb-proof (in which case, wouldn't it have made more sense for the bomb to detonate inside the Batcopter?)??

[@kingnothing915]

That would have been an awesome ending. "I'm going to put this bomb inside the Batcopter." He puts it in auto pilot flies it over the water and all we see is a tiny flash but the Batcopter keeps going until it reaches North Korea and kills Kim Jong-un.

Question, is it not possible that Dr Pavel was primed to give those answers about the bomb before the stadium, therefore making his answers untrue? Sure the good Doctor says that it has a blast radius of 6 miles, but does that automatically make it true? I mean, it'd definitely make sense for Bane to prime him to give those answers, especially since those answers being bigger have a greater impact on the people of Gotham. Just saying.

+TheSparda81 It's possible, but there's no evidence for it. And by the same metric, it's possible that the good doctor was understating the blast radius.
