So pissed this should've been soldier field

[ilovetheocean4]

SO UPSET! They wanted me to be an extra in the scene here and I couldn't do it!

*SPOILER*

its for an explosion. Bane blows up heinz field.

[chazofnation]

i think its special effect.

[Vuretas]

in this scene a group of villians interrupt a football game. ive also heard that this is a flashback but im not clear on that.

[Noz1roh]

Bane sets off bombs in the stadium right after kickoff. The raised part is the only section that will still be standing in the actual movie. I was just there as an extra this morning.

[LennyLemmings]

some sort of earthquake machine? Bane: "this is the instrument of your demolition!"

[chazofnation]

@LennyLemmings liberation.

[MatthewTS22]

Okay let’s try to figure this out eh? What explanation do we have for the extra chunk that is beat up?

An earthquake.

A really rough fight scene...or what?

@MatthewTS22

think more along the lines of a fissure. what you're seeing is "hollywood magic" before nolan has had a chance to cast his spell.

at one point what you see as the "normal level" will be the field, at a later point what you see here as looking like a "raised level" will be all that's left of the field and the "normal level" will have sunk, but to a massive degree, not like what you see here. imagine a cavern below the stadium, its roof being compromised, and so the field crumbles.

This tells me something epic will happen including Bane and Batman

[FOOZ3R]

My guess is they built it up like that in order to destroy part of it some how. at certain angles you probably cant tell its raised up higher.

[ChuckDudding]

Batman's GPS took him on the "Most Destructive Path" route

[jasonkummerfeldt]

cool but what's the deal with a chunk of it still there?
