The premise: 8 years after Batman allowed Harvey Dent to accidentally kill himself by being tackled off of a 5 story building by Batman and then also got landed on by Batman, and then left to die by Batman. Bats decides to revert back to being Bruce Wayne and go hang out in prison again. Because.. that's apparently what Christopher Nolan thinks Bruce Wayne does in his free time. Or maybe it's a metaphor for how Bruce Wayne feels all the time.. like he's in a prison.. so he needs to literally be IN prison.. which kind of takes the metaphor and slits both of its wrists. But the metaphor thing sounds way deeper than Bruce Wayne just really enjoying prison sex. In any case, while he is lazing about in in prison, a new menace begins terrorizing Gotham: Bane! And this ain't your Batman and Robin Bane, neither. This is Tom Hardy in Christopher Nolan's Universe. Which probably means comic book Bane. Which means, methodical, cold, brutal.. and at times, sweet as a butterfly, Bane. A drug addicted butterfly on steroids. Oh, and Catwoman shows up for some reason. Like THAT makes sense.
