I hope this doesn't really spoil anything, but here it is; how the hell does Bruce Wayne get from a freaking desert in India to Gotham ON FOOT no transportation, get new clothes, while the bridges are blown up, all within a couple of hours!? How? How is this possible? STUPID STUPID MOVIE!!! I didn't even notice this before! How could we have missed this!?

But I have devised a theory to explain this: CLAYFACE. That is all.

Who said it was a couple hours? It's six months between the destruction of the stadium and the finale. he could have hitched a ride on, I dunno, a smuggler plane, like he did in the last movie. Also, who said it was India? They never really say, do they? Looks like it could be Spain, or Africa, or South America, or the Middle East. (Deshi Basara, the chant used in the Pit as well as the chant from Bane's theme, is Arabic Moroccan, in fact) Even getting past the bridges isn't that big of a deal; he's Batman, he has total mastery of stealth and infiltration, he can get past a simple military roadblock.

Basically, there is no plot hole there, just you making up details or forgetting you're talking about Batman.

And Clayface doesn't make any sense as a theory. What, did Bruce pay money he doesn't have to a villain who doesn't exist in this continuity (And who hates him in every other continuity) to impersonate and fight his battles for him, while he chills out in another country knowing that he's completely failed at saving Gotham to the point that he has to bribe a supervillain to do it for him?

When Bruce rescues Lucius and goes to get his suit, it's daytime. When he rescues Gordon, it's nighttime, and when the big battle begins, it's daytime again. I think you're forgetting more than how many hours they say the bomb has until it goes off.

He doesn't even exist in this continuity.

SlyTF1 wrote:And how do we know he doesn't exist? Twoface didn't exist in this continuity either until he was introduced. Neither did the Joker, or Bane, or Talia. You could argue that last one. Besides, I didn't even say that and expect it to be taken as an actual plausible theory anyway. It was just some crazy, off the wall, explanation I came up with in my head.

Actually, Clayface could exist in this continuity. Just not in the way you might know him.

Golden Age Clayface was an actor Basil Karlo who was an actor that was pissed off cause he couldn't reprise his role for the remake. So he dons, the mask of Clayface and starts killing the actors.

So a psycho with a mask. It would work very well for the Dark Knight style.

Except that has no bearing on this at all, since his argument is about Clayface perfectly impersonating Bruce Wayne via his shape-shifting.

What about Clayface would be (incredibly) a legendary good actor who is SO perfect at immitating anyone, even the close family can be fooled? Add the ability to be the perfect make-up artist who use a revolitionary technique to quickly put on a mask that feel "alive"?
Of course, Clayface will be restricted to persons to immitate that have his average build.

So, basically, just a rip off of Mission Impossible.
