Dr. Pavel's first person narrative of events in the Plane Scene and in the Expanded Universe

Because of Pavel's extensive knowledge on nuclear science, he was eventually kidnapped by Bane, Masketta Man and the League of Shadows. His family was held as collateral in Trieste to ensure Pavel's cooperation. One of the objectives of the Master Plan was to use the doctor as bait to lure out CIA. Remarkably, Pavel was able to transform a nuclear reactor into a bomb in less than twenty minutes.

The Post-Credit Scenes portray Dr. Pavelheer's untimely demise as occurring at Gotham City Stadium, with his neck being snapped by Bane in front of an onlooking crowd.

"Yaprize" Theory[]

  • When cutting the deal with CIA, Masketta man calls Dr. Pavel 'Yaprize'. It is probably used as a nickname, which makes it possible that he was on the Master Plan's side all along. His death at Bane's hands was certainly a big favor for him, as Yaprize's clearly had suicidal tendencies: At the end of the Plane Scene, he is heard repeatedly telling Bane to let him go down with the Wreckage Brother. Finally granting Pavel his wish, Bane snaps his neck at the Stadium, ending his suffering.
  • The theory gains more plausibility if we consider that Dr. Pavel might also be identical with Getzda. Getzda/Getsda has a slavic sounding name, and he is also known to suffer from suicidal tendencies. These theories imply that Dr. Pavel was actually a double agent.
