9. Wounded Plea (The Dark Knight Rises)
The Batman has to come back. This moment was made famous by the brilliant teaser trailer last summer. Gordon has been injured and is pleading with Bruce Wayne to return to the cape and cowl. It rivalled The Dark Knight teasers Joker voice reveal with the sheer desperation on show and is equally as effective when seen as part of the larger piece. A different take is used in the final film and it comes a lot earlier in events than expected, but it still has quite an impact. These characters havent met since they came up with the Harvey Dent conspiracy and the lies haunt Gordon particularly. Its a mirror of the first meeting Bruce is wearing a rudimentary ski mask and theyre discussing the beginnings of (the return of) Batman which goes to highlight how much has changed. Bruce is reluctant to return and it is Gordon who is calling for a shake up.
