character - What happened to Bruce Wayne/Batman's knee? - Movies & TV




Early in The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce is seen limping with a cane. Some characters allude to an injury sustained from a fight, but we never see this in The Dark Knight. At the conclusion of that film, we see Batman surviving his run-in with Harvey Dent and escaping while running away.



What happened to Bruce Wayne/Batman's knee in between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises?



Note: we know the injury is real because we see Bruce requiring a knee brace of some kind prior to him suiting up as Batman.


Answer



During the hospital check up scene, the doctor reveals via x-ray that Bruce Wayne has absolutely no cartilage left in his knee. I'm no doctor, but I think that would make anyone walk with a limp. Thankfully they fix it with that leg gizmo so he doesn't limp for the rest of the movie ;)
