The Dark Knight Rises

They were serious questions

Bane looked like he had some sort of power in his hands, nothing in the flashback suggested a reason why he was so strong which made me think I either missed something in Bane's dialogue (which was really in and out for me at times in terms of audibility) or I just over analysed those early scenes. Did he have super strength, was it explained in the film? I feel like I missed something big there.

Maybe underestimating the lifetime of the tech that Bruce Wayne already had. I just assumed replacement parts and maintencance would be quite expensive for somebody without a job.

That scene on the ice was bizarre. The henchman even showed a degree of sympathy with the guy that had been exiled, it just didn't come across well. I know Bane didn't care either way and more than likely wanted him dead whenever but why not just kill him when he killed his boss. I don't recall him re-appearing in between those two scenes. If there was a spare 'good' character lying around, it would have made more sense to me personally.

It was a good film and I enjoyed your point earlier about how it made the other two films make more sense but at times I felt the film on it's own lacked the completeness of the other two as stand alones. Maybe that's more of a result of being the film that rounds off the series. Speaking of rounding things off, I wasn't a big fan of the last scenes sho0wing brief 'this is what happened after moments'. In a long film it came across as rushed, there you go extras which is why that thing with Alfred annoys me slightly. One moment he is bawling his eyes out the next he's in Florence.
