character - What happened to Bruce Wayne/Batman's knee? - Movies & TV

itemprop="text">

Early in The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce
is seen limping with a cane. Some characters allude to an injury sustained from a fight,
but we never see this in The Dark Knight. At the conclusion of that film, we see Batman
surviving his run-in with Harvey Dent and escaping while running
away.

What happened to
Bruce Wayne/Batman's knee in between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight
Rises?

Note: we know the injury
is real because we see Bruce requiring a knee brace of some kind prior to him suiting up
as Batman.

During the
hospital check up scene, the doctor reveals via x-ray that Bruce Wayne has absolutely no
cartilage left in his knee. I'm no doctor, but I think that would make anyone walk with
a limp. Thankfully they fix it with that leg gizmo so he doesn't limp for the rest of
the movie ;)
