A bulging disc doesn't just get knocked into place; in fact it clearly wasn't a bulging disk that Wayne had (it was, I guess, a displaced vertebra). A bulging disc is essentially a weakening of the walls between the vertebra that hold the discs in place. As they weaken, they can no longer hold the disc in place and the compression will force the disc out of alignment. For me, it creates nerve issues and tightens all the muscles in my neck and shoulders to the point of pretty intense pain. In either event, a bulging disc most assuredly isn't something that's just going to get punched into place. Punch your spine all day if you'd like; you'll never get close to the disc itself; you're just punching yourself in the back. The problem is that a displaced vertebra is going to create a legitimate spinal cord injury with the amount of movement that Wayne had (the dragging, etc...). But as previously indicated - who cares? If Nolan didn't have the "Broken bat" scene, the fanboys would've revolted. I think he did a fine job working in some canon here while also making it at least an acceptable stretching of medical truth.

To the second point, I never exactly claimed that Winter's Bone (or for that matter, TWBB) is great. Just that it was my favorite movie of that year. I brought up favorite movies in the first place only as a way of quickly recommending some movies to the couple of posters who asked me to. |

Go completely street and use something in the area as a weapon or use his surroundings to his advantage or just fight dirty to win and survive.

Despite what the "doctor" said, it had to have been a disk injury, perhaps a herniation, or at worst a compression fractured vertebrae. Remember, the "doctor" was obviously not very competent, otherwise Bane wouldn't have been so ****ed up. And I can't believe that we're having this conversation....I'm out to go regain some semblance of manliness.

It's funny that people are more upset with the implausability of the Stock Exchange scene than they are Batman escaping a nuclear blast.
Suspension of disbelief is always funny with the Superhero genre.

Fusion bombs aren't conventional nuclear blasts, nor were we supposed to believe he was on the Bat that blew up.
