I want to know how you felt about the ending. I did not like it for many reason and will explain why but first I'd like to know what real Batman fans thought of it. Please be honest and don't be afraid to rant.

@thesilverbeatle: Hate it, deus ex machina and cop out ending which lowered the quality of the movie

It made me rate the movie 7/10

Cop out, my exact words.

I loved it. I felt it fit the Nolanverse Batman story. For those who didn't like it, what did you want to happen?

Yeah I thought everything about the ending was corny and cheesy. Movie in general was a huge disappointment. 7/10

@cjbostick81:

I wanted him to die. Like Peter Parker in Ultimate Spiderman.

@thesilverbeatle: Why die? How would that have changed the movie overall? Who is to say he didn't die and that Alfred wasn't just imaging him in the cafe? His way of thinking he is in a better place...peace of mind kind of thing.

I think that is what makes the ending so great. He could have died and Alfred was just imagining him alive and well. It's one of those movies endings that it is what you want it to be. I mean I'd like to think that Alred and Bruce have a strong enough relationship that there would be more to there reunion then a head nod.

@cjbostick81: I just would have liked him to die a hero. What you say is true, I like how they did not really clarify if he really did see him. If it is in fact that way and that it is just Alfred's way of dealing with his death that would change everything.

@thesilverbeatle: Nolan is famous for making his endings subjective and open to interruption. Personally I think he died.

Personally I like that even Bruce Wayne get's a happy ending, I know it's hard to picture Bruce going off into the sunset smiling and living a fulfilled life, but the fact that it's something we rarely see is, what I feel, exactly what makes the ending even more beautiful. A story where a character, who's whole life has been about tragedy after tragedy and finally at the end of their story finds the happiness they every truly wanted.

If that is true then I completely agree.

@War Killer said:

I'm pretty that was Bruce Wayne he saw and not just something he imaged. Bruce looked right at Alfred and nodded to him, he was even with Selina Kyle which if it were something Alfred was imagining, I don't think he would picture her as well.

See the fact that he was with Selina Kyle threw me off a little.

Alfred new of Selina Kyle and Bruce's interest in her. So it's not too far a stretch to think he still imagined it. I mean I feel like there would be more then a head nod if it wasn't. Their relationship was much stronger then a simple head nod.

See the fact that he was with Selina Kyle threw me off a little.

@War Killer: I was unsure of their relationship. It's a bit of a gamble. Could they have run away together like they said? I suppose it's possible.

@War Killer: I understand what you mean. To me how I feel about it will depend largely on what they do next.

The ending is irrelevant because Nolan isn't making anymore films.It was also predictable.

@War Killer said:

The reason there was just a head nod was because it was just like Alfred had said, he pictured him seeing Bruce and Bruce seeing him, neither of them would say anything to each other but instead they would go about the lives knowing that the other finally found the happy life they wanted for each other.

And it's that the makes me think it's all in his head. It went down as he always imagined it would. Again this is why I love subjective endings. Different people see different things and interpret them different.

@War Killer: I was unsure of their relationship. It's a bit of a gamble. Could they have run away together like they said? I suppose it's possible.

My biggest issue, who will train ''Robin'' ? Since he know nothing on how to be Batman or fighting skills or gadgets or contacts.

Going into the movie, I was really hoping that Batman would die at the hands of Bane, andI kind of thougth he would actually. But then, as I was watching the movie, I started to have a change of heart. I'm usually the kind of guy who prefers sad and depressing stories rather than the cheery stuff, but for some reason it just didn't feel right this time. It felt too sad or something, I dunno. So, I was actually pretty happy that he survived and got to go live a new life with Selina. And even now, after I've had a bit more time to think about it all, I'm still glad that he survived. :)

@War Killer: I feel this is entirely possible.

@Alfolantern94: I think that he'll be just fine. Plus he may have Alfred.

now that u mention it..... he might have died because in the cafe scene, after Alfred smiled and nodded at Bruce... he cried....however it doesn't explain ahy he would dream that Bruce was with Selina..

The ending was absolutely perfect, in my opinion.

@cloudzackvincent: I don't see why seeing Selina matters. I mean Alfred knew of her. Even if it's not shown, Alfred knows what Batman is doing. Is it hard to believe that Alfred would know of her and Batman's attraction to her? I can't pin the moment, but I'm sure that Alfred knew of her.

I didn't mind it but I loved the Robin reference.

I don't think Alfred knew of their attraction as it develops only at the latter part of the movie..buy that time Alfred has already left... if u r so sure then why cannot u pin the moment?

@cloudzackvincent: A lot of time goes by in this movie. It's hard to assume that Alfred knows nothing about Selina. I know they discuss her after she steals the pearls and then again after she steels his car from the party and then after he saves her on the rooft. I'm going to see it again tonight, so I'll be looking out for other scenes, but it's a Nolan movie, so you have to think beyond what you see.

Even if he is alive and Selina was with him. This is Nolan's Bruce Wayne and he would leave it all behind for girl. That's this version of Batman's character, he would do that.

I can't believe you.

I agree. Can we be friends?

Oh, and BATMAN died at the end of the movie!!! Makes me glad, to be honest.

i think i m missing something here... which of my statements are u replying to..i don't remember saying that he woudn't leave everything for a girl

There is a strong possibility Alfred imagined seeing Bruce, he had stated earlier in the movie that once a year while Bruce was off training he would go to that cafe and think about seeing Bruce there.

Right before we see Alfred in the cafe we hear the workers tell Lucius that the autopilot had been fixed by Bruce Wayne. We can assume that he used the autopilot and lived. The Batman did die though, but now Bruce Wayne is truly alive.

@TheAnnihilator: This is a Nolan movie we can assume nothing, just because he fixed it doesn't mean he had time to use it

So in Nolanverse nukes are not lethal?

Saw the movie last night, have to agree. Though I still give it an 8.

I felt cheated of a really epic and dramatic moment.

@joshmightbe: True, but it's Bruce Wayne we're talking about.

@Blood1991: Bad things happen to my fave character, bane =(

@Rumble Man: Yes his voice was weird, and really other than in name her wasn't very Bane like. I mean yes Bane is cunning, but pretty sure he doesn't have an old man voice or ties to the League of Shadows. Though it did come together to make sense with the first two movies.

@Blood1991: I don't mind that though, it makes him adowwable

@Twentyfive: cop out boolsheet ending, except if it was a mirage like the ra's

How does Gordon still have a job? The world knows he falsified information about Dent to keep all those criminals off the street. They deserve to be in prison but the point is they are being kept under false pretenses. The city would have a whole lot of lawsuits for keeping those prisoners in jail for years, and no way Gordon would have a job.

@cloudzackvincent: Sorry for the confusion. Just given how Nolan does his endings, I'm not 100% convinced that Bruce is alive. It's could go either way. Like the techs tell fox that the autopilot sucks, but did get an upgrade. I think it's one of those endings that it depends on what you want it to be.

@Blood1991: Bane does have ties to the League of Shadows. Like in the movie he was excommunicated by Ras Al Gul.

THANK YOU. Tell all my friends that. People are brainwashed I swear.

I don't know why people hate the idea of Bruce having a happy ending. Nolan already made a very big change to Bruce Wayne/Batman that no one seems to have noticed. Nolan's Batman isn't nearly as haunted by the death of his parents as in the comics or the animated series. Heck, guilt over his parents' death and the desire to avenge them isn't even brought up in the second and third films. Nolan's Batman has basically made peace with it so I don't see why he can't be happy.

As for the nuke, the science in Nolan's films have always been bad. Just look at the microwave weapon in the Batman Begins. It's able to boil water from 100 yards away through concrete and yet it has no effect on humans, which are composed of 60% to 70% water. Heck, the whole idea of the fusion reactor being turned into a nuke doesn't really make sense. They even made a big mistake by saying that they've "weaponized fusion" even though fusion was already weaponized in 1952 when the first hydrogen bomb was detonated.

People who think John Blake is going to become anything other than Batman confound me.

The entire theme of Nolan's Batman movie defies that idea.

But no, Nightwing. No, Robin.

Please.

@thesilverbeatle: High fives

Well, how was he able to frame Batman for the murders Dent committed in the first place? There are no doubt people who saw Dent going after Maroni and the crooked cops. He probably left DNA evidence in those places. There are probably security videos. Not to mention the fact that the Joker knew about Dent. Even if no one believes the Joker, he would have been smart enough to create video evidence of Dent's crimes. What about Anna Ramirez the crooked cop that Dent used to get Gordon's kid and then spared. How did Gordon and Batman get her to stay silent?

I thought it was very weird that the guy was called robin why didn't she calls him Mr. Grayson or something.

@Blood1991:I think he fixed the auto-pilot.

@Loki9876: Probably, but I feel it took away alittle from the emotional impact of his death
