Total applause at the end of the film, it was the first time I'd ever experienced that and it was about 10 days after it's release. However, I did see it at a true IMAX screen so that may have drawn in a more impassioned group of viewers, but still very rare. I'd never seen that happen on opening days with Revenge of the Sith, Return of the King, or Deathly Hallows Part 2.

TDKRises has solid legs...I went to see it for the 3rd time today in IMAX in San Francisco for a middle of the day showing and the IMAX theater was packed and after the ending and when credits rolled. The audience gave a big applause.

Solid legs baby!

And yes you can hear a pin drop in the theater after the epic and brutal 1st Batman vs Bane fight scene.

I went on July 21st at the 9:30 showing. My theater had no significant reactions. Several teenagers behind us were commenting throughout the entire movie, imitating Bane's voice and laughing and imitating Christian's deep Batman voice. When
Miranda was revealed to be Talia
, some guy shouted "What a tweest!" and wouldn't stop laughing for a good five minutes. During the final Bane fight scenes the film actually starting skipping and freezing, like a scratched home DVD. :wtf:

All in all, my theater sucked. I should've gone to see it in a theater with fellow Batman/Nolan fans instead of petulant teenagers and time-wasters with nothing else to do. People actually started leaving before the
Florence cafe scene at the end
.

Claps, chuckles during the funny bits. I think most people were too blown away by the ending to really react at all by the time the credits rolled.

Midnight premiere and opening night show the audience was very into it. Clapping throughout the movie and cheering, with a standing ovation at the end. Saw it yesterday again. Boring crowd. No clapping. No gasps. No ooohs no ahhs. Just silence. I mean it's okay I know people like silence during movies but I was so used to everyone being so into it that it just felt different this time, it didn't feel like the audience cared about what happened, in a weird way. I always like it when there is applause. I got so used to the scenes when there is normally applause and when the bridge lit up with the Bat symbol I started to clap, two claps in I realized I was alone so I stopped. Everyone just sat there... not showing any reaction to... well, anything. At all. Not even with Batman's
you have my permission to die
line, which I thought was one of the best moments of the entire trilogy.

Alot of claps and chuckles and laughs during the witty, funny bits in the film.

The crowd was utterly mesmerized during the whole film. Especially during and directly after the 1st epic and brutal Batman vs Bane fight scene.

After that, the audicen was in full jaw dropping mode.

Saw it in IMAX again today, 12:00 noon show, maybe 25 people at most. The woman in front of me started crying as Batman
flew the bomb out
. Then I started to tear up, even after having seen the movie 5 times already lol
Do you feel in charge?

I saw it yesterday for the first time. Oddly enough, the average age of the audience was higher than I expected. The people who looked in their mid-twenties our younger were a small minority, and there were a lot of people who looked in their fourties or even older.

So yeah, no one clapped or cheered in the middle of the movie or at the end.

We all gasped in unison when Bane, er, you know when, though.

Saw it for the fourth time and the theater was above half way full and there was an applause at the end and reactions to other scenes as well.
