Batman :Dark Night Rises Question..

Hi just wanted to ask what exactly happened to batmans knee in the movie how did he injure it and did he develop arthiritis or any other condition on his knee etc(whats ure perspective on this)?

That knee brace he got from the buttler what was it exactly and how did it work to help him use his leg etc??

The answer to all of these questions is "because Batman"

More seriously, I don't think they really extrapolate on it much. So there'll be speculation involved in any answer.

It seemed hinted that it was wear and tear. As a Blazer fan, it reminded me of hearing about Brandon Roy's knees due to the no cartilage. Having no cartilage left in your knee is not from a sudden injury.

I took it as wear-and-tear, like an athlete who has had a long and brutal career.

He also have a gimpy shoulder and elbow from what the doctor said, iirc.

Yeah cool , he also got a robotic knee brace etc???

He did take that fall that killed Harvey.

Yes, but ONE FALL doesn't explain the lose of cartilage in his knees.

Nor does it explain why a multi-millionaire has to live 8 years of his life in pain & not get the best surgeons in the world to operate on him.

OR there's still the contradictory fact that

Spoiler:
If Batman retired straight after Harvey's death as TDKR suggests, then where & when actually did Bruce get so severely injured? We did, after all see him run away at the end of TDK.

I thought that for a second when watching the movie, but it seemed more wear and tear based on what the doc said, the nature of the injuries, and the fact that Batman didn't appear to have injured his knee at the end of TDK. A sudden injury that makes him limp for 8 years would have been noticeable when he stood up before driving off on the Batpod.

Bruce got listed a bunch of injuries that he had from the doctor, it was all from his batman days, there are some injuries that he sustained that he'd never heal from or would eventually later come back to bite him in the ass a.k.a his knee, as for the knee brace he's batman he probably made it himself

I quite agree with Robtard
