I have a different view of the ending... i used to have the conclusion that Bruce Wayne was alive like most everyone, but now I think he’s actually dead. I go back to Batman Begins and that very first conversation with Ras Al ghul, when he says to him “the world is too small for someone like Bruce ...

Ra's Al Ghul was Thanos before there was Thanos (well, in movies, at least). A sympathetic baddie that is deluded by his distorted belief in balance being the crucial accompaniment in society. But, Ra's was better, because we got to know his human side before we got know his villainous side. That's ...

Actually, I'd go to the first volume of Legends of The Dark Knight from 1989. Its origin story is almost identical. There's also a scene in a 2002 Batman comic, the name of which I don't remember, that inspired the opening scene in prison, where Bruce gets bullied by local inmates and decides to fig...

I thought it was Mandarin. Unless I'm confusing it with this scene when Bruce is arrested by the Chinese police. Ra's Al Ghul in the comics is Middle-Eastern - the movie makes him a Chinese decoy.

But part of that has more to do with the fact that Nolan and his brother wanted to up the scale, thus they used the biggest Batman storylines for that - Knightfall & No Man's Land. Which ultimately led to movie's overblown story, since those c...

Old Souls. And the opening track, for sure.

Batman Begins (the best superhero origin movie ever told on the big screen) The Dark Knight (the best superhero movie ever made) Inception (the best heist movie ever made) Memento (the best Guy Pearce movie ever made) The Dark Knight Rises (the best "it was better than any other threequel" ever made...

Aaaaaand... he didn't win jack thing.
