never went all hulked out on venom?

I liked how it went frame for frame for "the Man who broke the Bat" story though.

Another thing is, does anyone think the end scene with Alfred and Bruce is just a "dream" and the Bruce actually is dead?

Then please re-watch the Batman and Robin movie.

I want to believe the ending would be mind-fuck free!

I don't think Alfred would dream Bruce being with Selina Kyle

This is TDKR, not Inception..unless there were fairly clear hints or clues throughout the movie to suggest that, I doubt it was a dream.

I'm only thinking that because there's no way that Bruce survived an atomic bomb. There was no auto pilot in the Batwing so thats out of the picture. I just want to know how he survived haha.

I'll have to rewatch it to see how much time he had until the bomb went off. Only thing I can think of that might make sense is once the blast radius cleared the city, he dropped the bomb and gunned it out of there.

I think a minute or two after that scene, there was a scene where technicans were examining other vehicles and they stated to Fox that auto-pilot was activated with a software upgrade 6 months ago by Bruce Wayne

The screenwriters had the option to end the Batman and give Bruce Wayne the happy ending he deserves. In the end, Batman can retire because his legacy of sacrificing everything for the city has been passed on. Every single cop running to their probable death against the mercenaries embraced the idea that Gotham is more important than themselves. In The Dark Knight, the cops are depicted as deathly afraid when it came to defending the city against the Joker. But at the end of the trilogy, the true crime-fighters run fearlessly into battle. Peter Foley, who was consumed by dreams of becoming a better commissioner than Gordon and a bigger hero, is inspired by Batman to lay aside his selfishness and cowardice and lead the charge, ultimately sacrificing his life. Selina Kyle, the apathetic burglar concerned only with getting a new life for herself, eventually follows this idea as well. John Blake, walking into gunfire to evacuate citizens, had little care for his life. Thus, because the defenders of the city no longer need a selfless hero, Bruce Wayne can retire. This trilogy is the story of a boy who had his family stolen from him, but with the help of loyal allies, manages to restore justice to the city that wronged him. In the end, Bruce has given Gotham everything that it needed. The day has come that neither Gotham nor Bruce Wayne needs Batman any longer. He can live the life that he was keeping from himself.

When Batman lifted the bomb using The Bat, he brought it low to the ground at first, it looked a bit like the bomb was dragging along the street, just before the plane elevated to go over that tall building. He flew low for a bit because he didn't want to eject at the very top in the air, because people would see that. He set up the autopilot, took a deep breath, and jumped out. That's why he set The Bat at low altitude, so he could eject himself unhurt. The shot of him in the cockpit was when he was still over land, just before ejecting out.

I feel like this one shouldv been the second one, and the one with the joker shouldv been the final one.

I was hoping Ras wouldv been resurrected by now, or I was hoping there would be a second villain of some sort, not just pop out Talia at the last 10 minutes.

I guess I was expecting so much because of the second one, I got let down,

Having Bane as the sole villain the whole movie didnt do it for me.

It was like a re-write of the first one,

get beat up, put in solitary, work out, get strong, come back, beat up bad guy.

Second had so much more.

And if Talia and Bane were just going to suicide with the bomb anyway, why the fuck wait 5 months?

and a 4 megaton bomb wouldnt create a shockwave or a tsunami at that distance?

it also felt like cat-woman was just filler in the movie, she felt completely out of place in the movie.

if they were going to pull a 180 and go back to the RAS story-line, they should have revived him.
