| Ending shots |
I think the ending could have been improved if we hadn't seen the table with Bruce and Selina - instead showing Alfred looking up, clearly looking at the table he always looks at, and giving some kind of a knowing smile. Cut to credits. More ambiguity and can easily be read either way. More

Apologies for the spoiler. I thought the title was already about spoilers and the previous posts about "making a case for batman surbiving" and the funeral talk.
But apologies anyway. More

| The Ending |
The boys suggested that TDKR has a similar ending to Avengers but if you remember very well, they all have an eerily similar ending to Angels n Demons where the carmelengo takes the bomb into the sky and parachutes down. Dan Brown is the originator of such endings. More

I must say my assumption was that when Alfred sees Bruce Wayne at the end, it was just him imagining it as per his story earlier told to Bruce.
This was just him day dreaming that Bruce had found hapiness with a wife.
Sorry if this is not an original idea put out there.
t was a widespread idea that seemed to originally come from people who'd missed part of the end of the film. Fox/auto-pilot, Gordon on the roof etc.

I am unsure if I liked this film. I loved the other 2. On the plus side I love the continuity of all 3. 1 story over 3 films. Also loved the return of batman sequence and the first fight with bane. On the minus side not enough batman. Also massive plotholes. How can a person recover from a broken back in 5 months. How was he able to make the climb and jump with his bad knee. I also think he should have died at the end. More

OK - so he fixed the autopilot on the bat, great. What I wonder is, what 'bat' were the tech guys looking at later?
Was it the original bat? Unlikely, because that means it survived the blast and then flew back to Gotham with nobody noticing. So that suggests there was more than one bat, in which case:
A: why did Bruce bother fixing the auto pilot on all of the other ones too? and B: did Bane simply not notice all of these flying machines lying around in the lab More

On the subject of the Bat and auto-pilot.
Since they were all prototypes, it stands to reason that only the one that came in black was fully functional and the others would only be powered when needed through external power sources that needed to be brought in, preventing their use by Bane etc.. as for them all having auto pilot, all Bruce did was apply a software update to the programming of the machines thereby upgrade them.

I liked it to be honest, because you could tell he wasn't about to give a speech, he was going to blow batmans head of, just as quickly as he himself died, he got what was coming to him! More

| He Survived! |
Haven't listened to the podcast but these are my thoughts! The whole first half of the film was showing Bruce in a state of apathy; not caring about the world outside of the four walls of Wayne manor. Then putting his already broken body on the line to face up to Bane's gang, the whole of the GCPD and then finally Bane. At the point, and as pointed out by the doctor in the prison pit, Bruce didn't fear death which is why he couldn't escape the prison, and which is why he couldn't beat Bane. Foll More

Alfred is left the money from the liquidation, I doubt he wouldn't keep it all, so that would be how Bruce and Selina can live in Italy or wherever. More

| My two pence |
Hmm.. well i think and prefer to believe that he survived. Selina was his (and her) way out, and they both road off into the sunset together.
1- Autopilot was a hint to Lucius
2- New light was a hint to Gordon
3 - Map and cave was Bruce passing the torch to Blake
4 - Alfred told him what he wished for at the start of the film, and this was Bruce way of granting it.
----------------
That said being greedy and how i loved the films, i'd rather he stayed as Batman and made Dark Knight 4; b More

| Regarding Bane's voice |
Great film but for me The Dark Knight takes the title. Regarding Bane's voice, it was mentioned in the podcast that Tom Hardy based it upon Bartley Gorman who was the bare-knuckle boxing world champion. He was featured in a Shane Meadows short documentary years ago. Well worth a watch........King of the Gypsies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB0_QEh-KVs More

Great podcast :)
When I left The Avengers, I was smiling and entertained. When I left Dark Knight Rises, I wanted to watch it again. Immediately! It took me two days, but as mentioned in the podcast, I definitely enjoyed it even more the second time. As the guys mention here, there are so many subtle moments in this film. The one I liked most was the fact that during the very first time we see her, Talia uses a phrase straight out of Ra's Al Ghul mouth in Batman Begins if I;m not mista More

| TDKR |
In terms of sheer emotional heft (I cried at the end more than I ever have), Nolan's nailed it I think DK remains the superior film - a tighter, more accessible film.
This isn't to suggest DKR isn't completely brilliant but it's certainly more of a 'superhero movie' than DK, which was rooted in something more like reality. DKR's tone is far more closely shared with BB, the odyssean travails (God I sound like a twat) and grand scale of action clearly separate from the world we know. I'm too tire More
