Why So Serious?

"I'm gonna go America all over everybody's asses!"
-Charlie, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

So what do you guys think? Thinking in terms of the real world, would someone like Bane actually be able to hold a city (equivalent to New York) hostage, using the threat of nuclear detonation as leverage? Or would the military be able to thwart the scheme without the help of a lone billionaire vigilante?

Getting such a weapon within the boarders would be a lot harder than I think most of us realize. But, if that were to happen, then of course they could hold the city hostage.

The company in charge of the sewers was controlled by Bane.

That's moving well into Illuminati-style levels of control, with accompanying Illuminati-style levels of ridiculousness. What did he tell the workmen? To not inspect half the sewer, and would you kindly ignore any gunfire you hear? Or if there is a problem, can you fix it quietly and pay no attention to the small army I'm building down here? What if one of them went to the police? Maybe Bane controlled them too? Was that how he got them all to match into the sewer?

He wasn't building an army. He moved an army in those positions so that he didn't have to say any of that.

1) A theme was that the orphanage children were being recruited by Bane in the sewers, so yes, he was building an army.
2) What you said is at least as ridiculous. You're seriously suggesting he snuck an entire army into a major city without anybody noticing? Does Bane have a stash of invisibility cloaks or something?
