3. Those Are Some Amazing Gauntlets
Evidently, Christopher Nolan is a huge fan of the sharp blades that protrude from Batman's gauntlets. First seen in action when worn by both Bruce and Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins, they've served the Dark Knight more than most viewers probably realize. In fact, they've helped him defeat all three of the trilogy's main villains: Ra's, the Joker, and now Bane. In Batman Begins, Bruce catches his mentor's sword between his gauntlets and shatters it, giving him the upper hand in the fight. When Joker has Batman pinned beneath a steel beam in The Dark Knight, it's again the gauntlet blades that shoot the clown prince in the face and give our hero an opportunity to free himself. Finally, in Rises, Batman uses his gauntlets to sever Bane's anesthetic tubes and put him into immense pain, giving him an advantage in the fight.
