That takes something away from the mystery of Batman.
It'd be better if the general public didn't find out the true identity of Batman and as far as they are concerned Bruce Wayne the billionaire died with a other bunch of rich people at hands of Bane and his army.
Here's my reply. As far as i could tell, NO, when Blake says to Gordon that no one will know who really saved the city,
Gordon replies "Everyone knows, it was the Batman" and then a statue of Batman is unveilled, the implication is that no one knew he was Batman (except Gordon who only figures it out when Batman tells him that heroes put their jackets around the shoulders of scared kids). The tiny funeral is for Bruce, only Fox, Blake Alfred, and Gordon are there.
Now I had just sat through nearly 3 hours of mind blowing Batmania, but as far as I know, Bruce's identity was still secret,
especially considering his earlier comment to Blake, that "anybody could be Batman" .
Hope this helps, you're gonna love the film
kay so if the general public of Gotham doesn't find out about the true identity of Batman and they don't know about the funeral for Bruce I'm assuming? Do they think that Bruce Wayne the billionaire is still alive?
