How did Batman and Rachel survive the fall from the penthouse? And why didn Batman deploy his cape or grapple gun?
Batman and Rachel fall from the penthouse, one of the tallest buildings in Gotham, and somehow survive without any serious injuries by landing on a car. How is this possible? Batman appears to be able to survive falls from great heights, possibly due to his protective suit and training. He demonstrates this ability throughout the film. Rachel apparently survives because he breaks her fall. Batman is able to deploy his cape partially. Because he is holding Rachel, he deploys it just enough to slow the fall, thus preventing serious injury.
