Why doesn't Bruce take a running jump when trying to escape from the pit?
When Bruce gets the hardest part of escaping the pit, the big jump, he stands at the edge and jumps from there.
There is clearly room on the ledge he is standing on for him to take a running jump. Obviously a running jump would enable him to jump a lot further.
Why would Bruce not take a running jump?
Best Answer
I seem to remember the whole point of the exchange (before Bruce made his final attempt) between him and the doctor was that he had to be scared to be able to make it out - Bruce had told his cell mate several times that he wasn't scared.
Maybe the fact that he had to be scared meant that he had to walk to the edge and jump from there. The fear of not making it from a standing jump could have given him what he needed to make it. At least, that's my interpretation.
