Question! Dark Knight Rises Ending..... Spoilers!!!!!!!

Did Alfred use the Pearls to track Bruce down at the cafe? Did everyone else take it this way?

i don't remember any pearls...

He mentioned earlier he took a annual vacation to that place an always visited that cafe. I assumed it was just that.

No it was a coincidence.Truf89

[QUOTE="skingus"][QUOTE="Truf89"]No it was a coincidence.lx_theo

My interpretation: Alfred thought Bruce was dead, he goes on vacation (which he established earlier), and they just happen to see each other. The end.

Bruce took the pearls back from Selina. They are never seen again (I think). I highly dout he collected them from his Manor before confronting Bane

no, alfred told him the story about going to florence so bruce made sure to see him there.

Applying logic to the plot of TDKR? It won't work.

Nolan was very cheap (or the writers) when making this film. There is also the question of how Batman escaped the Batship 5 seconds before the nuke went off. We all saw him in the ship, then we saw the timer at 5 or 10 seconds. Doesn't work.

It's a good movie if you don;t look too deep into it, otherwise, it's very flawed. I feel sorry for the die-hard Batman fans out there.

I really don't like the fact that the trilogy ended with Bruce completely broke. Bruce Wayne is a BILLIONAIRE! A BALLER! Not a bum. Not cool.

I highly doubt that the distance between Batman and the Bat would become great enough within the span of five seconds for Batman to escape the blast radius of an ATOM BOMB!

That's because for Bruce, it's not about the money. Bruce isn't shallow. With that said, I'm still bothered by the fact that he went broke. Not cool. I wish Nolan would have revealed that he had a good amount of money (hundreds of millions) stashed in foreign accounts. That would make me feel better.

I didn't know that water could protect someone from the explosion of an atom bomb (not being sarcastic); I'll look into that. On a slightly different note, I don't even think that 1.5 minutes is enough time for the Bat to get far enough from the city to prevent it from being affected by the blast. I know that Nolan chose that amount of time to create a feeling of suspense, but I wish it would have been five minutes.

TDK was even worse but people ignore those gigantic flaws.

The thing is, like mentioned above, Alfred didn't seem to be too surprised, to either he knew Bruce was alive or he expected him to be there. After believing Bruce was dead and then not being surprised at all when seeing him alive and well would seem a little mean towards Alfred.... IMO.DeadMan1290

In certain scenes, did Bane's deep, monotone voice remind anyone of Darth Vader? In the scene in which he kills Daggett, his voice and his physical presence (he towers over Daggett) are so reminiscent of Darth Vader.

I guess it's just another one of the mistakes in the writing.

I definitely think the ending was left open to some interpretation. You, the viewer, can take the story on from hereskingus

Did you like Bane's performance? I found it a bit awkward at times during my first viewing, but in my subsequent viewings I loved it. He's actually quite funny at times; he's so evil, it's hilarious.

The following is one of my favorite dialogue sequences from the film. It demonstrates just how evil Bane is, and is also quite funny.

Daggett: "Where's Bane?!"

Stryver: "We told him it was urgent."

Daggett: "Ah! Where is that man?!"

Bane: [Suddenly Appears] "Speak of the Devil, and he shall appear."

Daggett: "What the hell is going on?!"

Bane: "Our plan is proceeding as expected."

Daggett: "Oh, really? Do I look like I'm running Wayne Enterprises right now? Your hit on the stock exchange, it didn't work, my friend. And now you have my construction crews going around the city twenty four hours a day. How exactly is that supposed to help my company absorb Wayne's?"

Bane: [To Stryver] "Leave us."

Daggett: "No, you stay here. I'm in charge."

Bane: [Puts his left hand on Daggett's shoulder] "Do you feel in charge?"

Dagett: "I payed you a small fortune."

Bane: "And this gives you power over me?"

Daggett: "What is this?"

Bane: "Your money and infrastructure have been important...'til now!"

Daggett: "What are you?"

Bane: "I'm Gotham's reckoning, here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on."

Daggett: "You're...evil."

Bane: "I'm necessary evil." [Grabs Daggett's face and snaps his neck.]

Bane talked like a stereotypical 18th century British lord. His speech was straight out of Monty Python.

I serioulsy thought at the beginning it was Liam Neeson, the voice was similar... Then I was like, weird..... It's Bane!

That was probably done on purpose because Bane was trained by Ra's Al Ghul. Perhaps during the years of training, he picked up Ra's Al Ghul's accent.

I thought that discovered that Bruce put the Bat chopper thing on autopilot and he actually wasnt in the chopper when it exploded...

Like other things in the film, that's up for interpretation. It was obviously some type of trauma (bruises, lacerations, severe facial deformity, etc). However, it wasn't the injuries he sustained from the beating that required him to wear the mask, but the bootleg surgery he underwent at the hands of the prison's "doctor". That "doctor" did something that made things worse and induced a chronic, incurable pain that requires him to have a constant supply of painkillers (analgesic).

Did you see Bruce in the BAT? No. We saw a shot of Batman, then a shot of a timer. Whether they were at the same location is unknown. Probably not, in my opinion Bruce was in an escape pod or whatever. We know the autopilot worked and he used it. Does Work.

Was I the only one that thought Talia's death was hilarious? It was the most unintentional hilarious moment in the movie for me. But anyway, I loved this movie!

Ok, so he escaped 5 seconds before detonation? Does the suit have some sort of anti-nuclear blast properties? He would have to travel 6 MILES to safety from the blast. And assume he ejected much before that, Nolan cheated in the editing when he showed Batman as if he was in the ship the whole time. BossPerson

The blast took place a lot longer than when he ejected from the plane. They just went to the the time of when the blast happened after showing him. I think someone also brought up in another thread that when they last showed him, he was still fairly close to the island, so the blast didnt occur right after he was ejected. When they cut to someone right after him, around a minute had gone by already in the film.
