Questions... lots of them!

Okay, so you're probably convinced I'm a cretin, but I'm afraid that after watching this film three times I still don't get half of what happened in this film. Can you help?

Eg:

1 If Liam Neeson is Raz, then who was the guy on the throne in the temple? And why did Liam Neeson pretend to be Ducard?

2 Why does "Raz" put on a gas mask? Why not pre-innoculate himself?

3 Why does Scarecrow not suffer more from the fear drug he is given? And how does he recover so quickly when released from the asylum?

4 Why does Batman jam the train's accelerator to ensure it reaches Wayne Tower? Shouldn't he be trying to stop it?

5 How does Gordon know to take out the bridge when he is not asked to?

6 Why does Batman shatter the front window of the train before blowing up the couplings between the carriages?

Thanks!!!

1. The guy was a decoy. If someone managed to kill Ra's, they'd only get the fake one.

2. The vaccine was made by Fox. Ra's doesn't have one nor have any interest in one.

3. He doesn't recover. He goes delightfully mad.

4. He doesn't jam it. Ra's does.

5. Because he IS asked to, in the ellipses.

6. Shattering the front window allows in the air current that carries Batman out of the train.
