Bruce turning a blind eye to the crimes committed by Selina is hypocrisy of the highest order which will completely undermine everything these films have stood for and also the forced happy ending with Bruce and Selina happily and smugly retiring to a life in Paris (and he doesn't even bother to tell Alfred) and then some cop suddenly becoming Batman is closing the trilogy on a false and insincere note which not only undermines everything the first two films achieved but also takes the power away from the first two films and also corrupts them rendering them meaningless.

You know, after you've seen it, you might not feel the same way about the ending.
It may sound a bit off, but it plays out well on the big screen.

I just can't accept that Bruce could give up the cowl so easily and start a new life with Selina and what is worse Bruce doesn't even bother to tell Alfred and by the sounds of it he barely even acknowledges Alfred when he sees him outside the cafe. What a horrible and false ending!Batmannerism wrote:Actually, about the final scene.... MASSIVE SPOILER...
The cafe scene ending in my view is not true to the character of Bruce that we have come to know Batman is intrinsically a part of Bruce and can never be fully exorcised from his being because the pain and anger that created Batman will always be with Bruce. But this ending just seems to have Bruce casually forget about Batman and pack up to lead a smug and carefree life in Paris with that criminal Selina! This ending just doesn't ring true to me!
In my view the only way Bruce can ever give up being Batman is through him sacrificing or ending his life.
Also as for John Blake finding the Batcave are we seriously meant to believe that this is the resolution to the trilogy that there will be a new Batman and that Gotham will be protected by another masked vigilante? If that is the case Bruce might as well have let the copycats vigilantes at the start of TDK take over the protecting of Gotham I thought the whole point of Bruce stepping down as Batman was because someone else could take up the mantle of Batman but not as a maksed vigilante but helping Gotham in a way Batman never could!
Someone else simply becoming Batman and Bruce and Selina just retiring to live a happy life seems like a lazy ending and either Nolan has "lost it" or "sold out" or Warner Bro suits have imposed this false and insincere ending on the film!

Hi idealist,
I have to disagree with you, and I hope you feel differently after seeing the film.

Because of the ending I hope the movie flops now and doesn't beat the Avengers at the box office which it probably won't anyway.Batmannerism wrote:Hi idealist,

My guess is that studio execs forced Nolan to compromise on a happy ending and leaving the door open for a continuation or offshoot of the story with John Blake as the new Batman!
The ending of this film has completely undermined and cheapened the entire trilogy!
