OMG IT WAS A GIANT FREAKING ASS TWISTS! EVERYONE IN MY RHEATER GRASPED! It was soo cool at my theater, they had a huge batman booth and were giving out free batman comics. So many people where dressed up.
I thought Bane was a great villain. I dont know why, but Selina was my favorite character. I've always found catwoman an interesting character, and it was pulled off perfectly. I loved every bit of screen time she had. Bane was just an overall great villain. Menacing, brutal, brilliant, with a sense of humor. Ha. And Talia wasn't in it much (Talia, not Miranda) but her role was great also! She played it very well.
haha!! I loved how Selina came back, saving Batman, etc, but I wish it was saved for someone else! I mean, I think Bane's should have died mono e mono with Batman. Even Talia had a better death scene than him.
I don't know if it was only me but all the time during the movie in each scene with Marion Cotillard i was like " Ok Miranda stop playing around and reveal that you are Talia!" and when the moment come " OMG SEE I WAS RIGHT YOU FREAKING LIER!" haha:P
Did anyone else feel like they KNEW Blake was going to be The next Batman/Robin after fighting alongside batman when he almost got killed? I feel like at that moment I was 100% sure it was going to happen, Jim fighting alongside deff sold it to me.
Also, do you think Gordon knows its Blake? Given the resignation, close to Wayne, and the fact Gordon told him to stay put/safe, as batman did, to make sure he wouldn't be killed before taking up the mantle?

Well not at first, but when they said his name was Robin and Bruce leaving him the Batcave, i was like "Okay Robin, you're Batman now"

Is the ending really a twist? Like a huge surprise?
I don't think the ending overall is a huge surprise, but it's... nice. There is a bit of a surprise at the very end but that's about it. I would say this movie contains a lot of spoiler material, as in, there's a lot of things that happen that you're better off not knowing about.
I seriously can't remember the last time my heart was thumping insanely during a movie. It's crazy, because in the beginning I was kinda "meh" and then I turn into a "HOLY BUTTFUCK" attack.
I can't remember thinking insanely about the ending of a film since Inception. Both this and Inception have faults I openly see and admit, but wow do they stick to me.
I know this is a spoiler thread, but I'm still gonna put it in tags, because it's pretty heavy. For anyone who wanted it, here is the full synopsis of the movie. Part 1
The movie opens with some CIA agents escorting a nuclear scientist, Dr Pavel, and three hooded prisoners, on board a small military aircraft. On learning that the prisoners worked for a mercenary named Bane, the agent in charge of the operation is excited and begins interrogating the prisoners. However, one of the prisoners turns out to be Bane (Tom Hardy) himself, and getting arrested was part of his plan. Suddenly, the aircraft is overpowered by a very large aircraft, from which several of Bane's men climb into the smaller aircraft using ropes, killing the agents. Bane and his men then grab hold of Dr Pavel and cause the smaller plane to crash, taking him along with them in the larger aircraft.
The scene then cuts to Gotham, where Harvey Dent's death anniversary is being celebrated as Dent Day. At a charity event hosted by the forever-absent Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) prepares to deliver a speech revealing the truth about Dent and the murders for which the Batman had taken the fall 8 years ago, but deciding that the time was not right, stuffs the speech into his jacket. Miranda Tate (Marion Cottilard), a wealthy investor, tries to meet the reclusive Bruce to get him to invest in her clean energy project, but is unable to meet him.
One of the maids working at the Wayne manor for the event, is Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), a burglar, who breaks into Bruce's room and his safe, stealing his mother's pearls. Bruce, crippled in one leg, accosts her, but she attacks him and escapes. Bruce later realizes that she also took a copy of his fingerprints from the surface of the safe.
Selena then sells Bruce's fingerprints to Dagget, (Ben Mendelsohn), an industrialist with a shady background, who tries to kill her but Selena smartly creates a diversion using a missing Congressman who's actually been with her, causing the police to converge on the spot.
A dead teenager's body washes out from the sewers, and his body is identified by police officer John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), as that of a kid staying at an orphanage where he coaches the kids in baseball. Blake is shown to have a very close relationship with the orphanage and the warden who runs it, and we realize later that he himself grew up in that orphanage, and it was being funded by the Wayne Foundation. One of the kids at the orphanage informs him that they have heard rumours of the sewers providing good employment recently, which makes Blake suspicious.
The sewers are in fact the hideout of Bane, who is in the employ of Dagget, and has built himself an army of faithful mercenaries. During a raid on the sewers, a couple of mercenaries overpower Commissioner Gordon and bring him to Bane, but Gordon manages to escape, grievously injured, but not before Bane pulled out from his jacket the speech in which Gordon intended to reveal the truth about Harvey Dent and his murders.. Bruce meets him in the hospital, and sensing impending trouble, decides to don his cape again and return to crime-fighting, despite being in a hopeless physical condition. This leads to a spat with Alfred (Michael Caine) who is afraid of the Batman losing, and Alfred leaves Bruce and the mansion, for good.
Then, Bane and his men attack the Gotham stock exchange, taking everybody inside hostage, and manipulating the Wayne Enterprises stock using Bruce's fingerprints (stolen by Selina and sold to Dagget) causing the company to go bust financially. The hostage situation ends with the mercenaries getting away, but Batman enters the scene suddenly, causing the Gotham Police force to concentrate all their resources into arresting him. Deputy Commissioner Foley (Matthew Modine) is eager to arrest the alleged murderer of Harvey Dent, and after a prolonged chase, Batman is cornered into a dark alley. But Batman escapes from the alley in The Bat, a futuristic flying version of the Batmobile built by Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman).
To avoid the company shutting down, Bruce and Fox take Miranda to the fusion reactor designed by Dr Pavel, to convince her to invest in the project. This reactor was originally intended as a weapon, but Fox and Miranda intend to use it for generating clean free energy for the entire city. The reactor is hidden in a chamber underneath the river, so that it could be flooded in emergencies.
Meanwhile, Selina is afraid of Bane and the havoc he's planning to unleash, and to save her life from him, deceives Batman into following her into the sewers, where he is cornered by Bane. This leads to a lengthy hand-to-hand combat between the two, and eventually Bane overpowers the Batman, and breaks his backbone by smashing him down bodily on his knee. Bruce Wayne is then dumped into a prison, paralyzed from the back downwards, and Bane tells him that he intends to kill his soul first, and his body only later. This prison was where Bane was rumoured to be born, and it is notorious as the "Hell on Earth", from where nobody has managed to escape, except Bane as a kid. Men routinely try to escape using a rope and climbing to the top, but everybody fails to clear the final jump on to a ledge required to escape. The other prisoners tell him the story of a mercenary who fell in love with the daughter of a warlord who owned that prison. The warlord intended to kill the mercenary, but his daughter made a deal with her father to free him and instead ended up a prisoner there herself. One day a riot broke out in the prison where she was raped and murdered, and her child escaped, who grew up to be Bane. We are given to believe that the mercenary was Ras Al' Ghul (Liam Neeson), Bruce Wayne's early mentor.
Meanwhile, in Gotham City, a quiet funeral is held for Bruce, believed to be killed, leaving a remorseful Alfred heartbroken. The entire police force consisting of a thousand policemen storm the sewers to capture Bane. Bane, however, has rigged the entire sewer system with explosives, which he detonates at the beginning of a football match, causing the entire ground to cave in and collapse, and his people take the entire audience hostage. The explosives cause the sewers to cave in, leaving the entire police force of the city trapped inside. Bane then declares to the stadium crowd that he's now in charge of the city, and having taken control of the nuclear reactor, which he has turned into a bomb, murders Dr Pavel in front of the shocked audience, after telling them that Dr Pavel was the only man who could disarm the nuclear device.
Simultaneously, all the bridges leading up to the city are destroyed by Bane's explosives, causing the entire population of the city trapped inside. Bane threatens the government forces that should anybody try to enter or leave the city, he will detonate the nuclear weapon, thus forcing the government forces to guard the city and stop anybody from leaving.
Bane then proceeds to the prison where more than a 1000 prisoners have been incarcerated as per the Dent Act, which gave enormous powers to the police. Here he reads out Gordon's intended speech revealing the truth about Harvey, and declares the prisoners free, as the man who drew up the Dent Act himself was a murderer and a madman. The prisoners join Bane and together they enforce what Bane calls "martial law", forcing the rich out of their homes, holding kangaroo courts and killing anybody who could cause any resistance by forcing them to walk on the frozen river, until the ice breaks and they sink.
Detective Blake, meanwhile, with the help of the few policemen still remaining in the city, begin tracking three trucks, one of which carries the nuclear weapon. To avoid detection of the weapon, the three trucks are driven around the city continously.
Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne, holed up in the prison, is watching the havoc in Gotham on a TV set in the prison. He gets the doctor there to crudely fix his vertebrae, and gets into a rigorous training regime, trying to be fit again. This state of affairs goes on for nearly five months, and after repeated failures, Bruce manages to escape, by doing what the kid had done years ago - escape by climbing with his bare hands and feet without the help of a rope.
Bruce returns to Gotham as Batman, and with the help of Selina, frees Miranda and Fox from Bane's captivity, and saves Gordon and some of the policemen, who had been captured and were about to be killed on the frozen river. Fox reveals that trigger or no trigger, the nuclear device will detonate anyway within a few hours, and builds a signal jammer which can block the signals from the trigger.
With Blake's help, Batman frees the policemen trapped in the sewers, who then march the streets and attack Bane's army. A brutal combat ensues on the streets of Gotham. Meanwhile Batman fights Bane again, and has nearly defeated him, when Miranda stabs the Batman from behind. It is then revealed that she was the child who had escaped from the Hell on Earth prison, and Bane had almost died protecting her from the other inmates, and had been forced to wear his mask due to the violence his face had been subjected to in the prison riot. Her intention is to take revenge on the Batman for killing her father Ras Al Ghul. She then hits the trigger of the nuclear weapon, but Gordon has managed to fit the signal jammer on the weapon just in time. However, there are only eleven minutes left for the nuke to detonate. Selina breaks in and shoots Bane in the face and finishes him off (he is probably killed). Miranda escapes, and takes control of the truck which is carrying the weapon, but eventually her escorts are all finished off in a prolonged chase sequence, with Selina riding the Batpod and Batman flying the Bat in the air, and attacking the convoy carrying the nuke.
However, the weapon cannot be deactivated in any way, and hence Batman attaches it to the Bat and flies it over the bay, and the city, now liberated from Bane's army, watches awestruck as the weapon detonates at the horizon, and the mushroom-cloud balloons over the bay. The city then is shown paying respects to the Batman, who apparently gave his life to save the city. In the epilogue, Alfred is shown holidaying in France, and finds Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle having coffee together at a nearby table. It is also revealed that John Blake is Robin, and the movie ends with him walking into Batman's secret hideout in the cave behind the waterfall. We are reminded of an earlier dialogue where Batman tells Blake that the Batman is just a symbol, and anybody can take on that role, causing us to wonder if it is implied that Blake/Robin takes over from the Batman.
Now that I got enough sleep, I feel more enthusiastic about my love for this movie .
I think Bruce Wayne should have been for sure dead. I like to think that he is dead anyway. I just like that better as an ending. Or Bruce being alive but never going back to Gotham and Robin taking the Batman title.
That's an awful point. Alfred is crying because he doesn't know about the autopilot.
And the second point would mean Bruce would purposely kill himself. Why would he if he could pretend to die and live the rest of his life away from Gotham knowing the future of the city is in good hands?
Bruce is alive and well, never returning to Gotham.
Yeah, I definitely wasn't talking about the response, lol! I want Bruce to be alive, by I find it hard to believe that Alfred can just see Bruce after thinking he's dead and all. Or maybe I'm just missing something and making a total fool of myself! Lol!
