Yep, hence my Rocky III analogy.
At least they didn't bump into Alfred and cause a fatal heart attack during their scuffle in the sewers.

Yeah and that's why victory has defeated him
Yup. And all the build-up, the visit to the doctor, the knee brace, asking Fox to get him back in the game. You get the sense he's gonna have ring rust.
I think of this movie as analogous, in many ways, to Meatballs. Except that Bill Murray was not in this movie.
Did anyone else think TDKR was kind of like Forrest Gump in that Bruce was constantly pursuing Selina and time and again she kept rejecting him and hanging out with really shady characters? Before finally giving in and marrying him?
Okay I'll stop.
Okay I'll stop.
Actually, the truth is it's just a sublime remake of Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.
Sure bunky.
Because we're not allowed to discuss bad aspects of a film?
And you're trolling irrelevant Star Wars analogies.
And you slated my opinion in other various threads for that same approach.
Like it or not my SW comparison was right on. 
Didn't you get the memo? Everyone who's been trashing every aspect of this movie for the last 30 pages has gone on record as saying they still really liked the movie.
Really? I've seen it 3 times, but I honestly don't recall that at all. Weird.
Yeah. But my point is that peace cost him his strength because he gave up, with what his body took which is WHY he is out of shape. Training and Practice wouldnt fix those weak points and deficiencies.
So its the same thing as victory over Joker, Ra's, Scarecrow and Dent has defeated him. His Mindset was weak and cocky 'ill just fight harder' asif he is infallable to anyone, which is why Alfred was much more powerful, because he is trying to tell bruce he will kill himself. He is trying to tell him that he isnt what he used to be. Its dealing with somethings the comics dont usually do because theyre a continuation. Bruce's pysche and body is punished to almost its maximum. He's over confident because he never faced an opponent physically challenging or superior. But the hits he did take, have lasting damage =]

LOL...hard to tell...LOL...there are so many other films that deserve 100000 times more to get bashed than this one

Definition of SLATE1: a piece of construction material (as laminated rock) prepared as a shingle for roofing and siding
2: a dense fine-grained metamorphic rock produced by the compression of various sediments (as clay or shale) so as to develop a characteristic cleavage
3: a tablet (as of slate) used for writing on
4a : a written or unwritten record (as of deeds) <started with a clean slate>
b : a list of candidates for nomination or election
5a : a dark purplish gray
b : any of various grays similar in color to common roofing
More like Pee-Wee's Adventure, really. Guy gets complacent with his life after fulfilling his life's function (obtaining awesome bike), needs bigger, stronger enemy to shake him out of his complacency by destroying his world (stealing his bike). Hero has all kinds of awesome gadgets, goes on an epic journey where he is frequently a sad bastard, interacts with dangerous female (chick with scary boyfriend), drives cool motorcycle, ultimately it appears that his enemy is being manipulated by someone else (his father, who made him the kind of jerk that would steal someone's bike). Sage advice given to the hero by wise confidant (Dottie). End of film, hero finds redemption (obtains bike, has movie made about him), and gets the girl.
But only one of these movies also has a psychotic clown and giant fake T-Rex, thus being more faithful to comic Batman, and thus superior.

There might just be some exaggeration and hyperbole in this statement.

Nah, that's Khev you're talking about. He never does that.

Hmmm if you're saying he gave up BECAUSE of his injuries (which he sustained in order to achieve the peace), then I don't agree.
I think he gave up because he had achieved peace - his objective. For example if the Harvey Dent Act hadn't happened, and if there will still mobsters all over Gotham, I don't think Bruce would have retired as Batman despite whatever injuries he may have had. He'd have gone to the doctor and to Fox earlier and sorted his body out.
There's a slight difference
