So is Bruce still alive or was Alfred imagining things? If Bruce is alive how the -blam!- did he survive a nuclear explosion. Even if he did bail out he was still only like 10 seconds away from detonation when they last showed him in the batwing.

I'm not so good with advice...Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Its explained that he fixed the autopilot. He set it to make it look like he died, when really he just wanted to stop being Batman. Alfred really DID see him at that cafe.

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

He survived. Lucius Fox discovered at the end of the film that Bruce had fixed the autopilot on the Bat, and Selina Kyle had stolen the pearl necklace with the tracking device. This explains how Bruce and Selina managed to find each other and start a new life together.

How did Bruce survive the explosion? He's Batman.

RIP Derek Farley

After Batman's sacrifice, there was a scene with Lucius (Morgan Freeman) in which he finds out Bruce fixed the Batwing's autopilot. So, he set it to go over the bay and likely ejected when he was far enough away from the city so people wouldn't see him eject.

Nope. It couldn't have been more obvious he was still alive. Did you miss the scene where it talked about someone activated the auto pilot? Only Bruce could have, so he is, in fact, still alive.

If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

Ever hear of auto pilot? It was the one thing that didn't work on his machine in the beginning of the movie. After the events Freeman finds out it was fixed 6 months ago by Bruce. So he used the autopilot to take the bomb out. As far as the world can tell, Batman is dead, but Bruce is still alive. He left Gotham since he gave them what they needed.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

Also . . . . who else would've known of, and fixed, the floodlight on the MCU building?

There are numerous suggestions such as those, that he lived.

But if you'd like to think of him as a martyr, that's fine as well. Nolan obviously wanted a tiny bit of ambiguity but whether he wanted to or not he overdid it in favor of Bruce being alive.

LOl....


Am I the only one who thinks it would of been better if we only saw Alfred nod at the end and then not show Bruce?

  • 12.08.2012 3:33 PM PDT

His Batwing was going fast enough to outrun the explosion. Henceforth, he survived.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Welcome to the DKR, aka the most plot-hole riddled film of 2012.

It isn't supposed to make logical sense, it was a cop out ending tacked on to please the masses. Literally nothing in that movie adds up.

  • 12.08.2012 3:40 PM PDT

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

He either somehow bailed from the Bat or he dropped the nuke seconds before detonation. I do feel like the end of the movie seemed kind of rushed. It could have been played out a little better.

I believe Bruce wanted to finally put an end to the symbol of Batman with the final act of saving his city. Christian Bale also noted that he would never act in a Batman movie side by side with Robin so that's probably the last we will see of Mr. Bale now that Robin has been introduced. Notice it wasn't until the very end until we all knew who Robin was. It will be interesting to see how they bring Batman back if this particular chain of Batman movies is continued. They overcame the death of Heath Ledger after easily one of the most legendary performances of all time in The Dark Knight so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge!

Oh, and by the way, I literally just finished watching this on TV right before I jumped on Bungie.... you must have just watched it as well. ;)
