just came back from watching it for a 2nd time...
it was even better as i wasn't overwhelmed with the midnight debut atmosphere. i was able to sit back, enjoy and take it all in.
Banes voice didn't annoy me nearly as much this time.
i'll see it 1 last time in IMAX to take in a different experience
1 question though...
did they show Bruce fixing the bat's auto pilot? my friend insists but i didn't spot it
nope, they most certainly did not.

Watched it last night. Movie was great man.
Tom Hardy did better than I expected. His voice was perfect.
My only gripe was how he was killed. Just my opinion, but having him get killed by Catwomen was just...off. Wanted him to go out epic
Love the ending with my dude Robin finding the batcave.
I loved the Joker in DK, but Bane character in this was better overall. He held a mega-city captive for 3 months...3 MONTHS!

I've been following this thread ever since I saw it on opening day. About to see it again this weekend again in IMAX. I feel like I will enjoy it more this time around because of all the discussion that has been going on in here already

you're own fault for going into a movie thread AFTER it's been released nation wide.
Learn, and move on. I don't feel sorry for you.

Why would you even read this thread before seeing it, you know its gonna be some spoilers.

That's one thing I want to know to. As for Alfred, Bruce asked him to leave.

Why would you come into a forum thread about a movie if you don't want to know anything? What do you think people will be talking about?

Found this VERY interesting...
OK, so we're all alone here? Good.
When I first saw that mushroom cloud go up over the harbor outside Gotham, I couldn't believe it. He'd done it, he'd really done it. Christopher Nolan hadn't just killed Batman, he'd nuked him, with no doubt that both Bruce Wayne and Batman were gone, leaving Alfred to grieve and Wayne Enterprises to figure out how to move forward without him. That certainty didn't last too long, of course-- Lucius talks to some Wayne Enterprises techs who admit that Bruce fixed the autopilot function before he took off with the bomb, meaning the Bat could easily have been unmanned. And then Alfred finds himself in Italy*, just as he'd dreamed, and sees Bruce having lunch happily with Selina Kyle, both of them having escaped their former identities and living freely.
It was a surprisingly happy ending for such a dark series. But I don't think you have to take it that way. As the Bat flies away from Gotham we clearly see Batman sitting in the driver's seat, with 5 seconds left to go on the bomb's clock before it sets off. If he in fact managed to get out of there so fast, how did he escape the bomb radius? And how the hell could he swim back? And while I know Nolan is allowed creative license and a serene spot for dear old Alfred to visit, doesn't it seem bizarrely coincidental that he'd see Bruce and Selina in the one place he'd imagined-- as the very smart Dave Lozo pointed out, is there just one cafe in Paris?
I'm not saying the ending presented to us cannot be true. I'm just saying it's not as simple as it might seem, and I don't think I'm the only one who walked out of the theater saying "Wait, is Bruce Wayne actually dead?" before being mocked by friends who took what Alfred saw at face value. Remember how much the spinning top in Inception drove us crazy for months? I'm confident Nolan was at least going for some dose of that confusion-- something to keep you talking and arguing as you leave the theater.
So is anyone out there with me? Do you at least think the ending is intended to be a little vague?

The ending wasn't vague at all. Bruce is still alive.
Case and point, Alfred has no clue of Selena Kyle's affiliation with Bruce outside of the girl that robbed his jewels. As such, he has no reason to "imagine" or project, for lack of a better word, a scenario that would place batman and kyle in a romantic setting.
- 16,310

No he didn't. Alfred resigned on his own.

I believe Bruce also asked him to leave after he admitted to burning ugly Maggies letter in TDK.
