I think it's debatable whether this is better than Bane vs. Batman or not.
It'll be interesting to see how it performs after this weekend. The ending is such a crowd-pleaser, especially in light of such a tragedy.

One things for sure, the Blu ray sales will be enormous.
Would've been in bad taste IMO. You either have to say:
He died in prison (bad taste)
He's alive and well in prison (badder taste)
Can't see how they could've done that without it sounding forced and awkward.
EDIT: Why are there ads in posts...?

I was not a fan of the ending at first but after sleeping on it, it really grew on me. Perfect ending, though, I think Blake should have gotten the mansion somehow. I mean he has to have access to the cave easily from his house if he is going to be Batman.
Bane: "Why did you bring him here."
Merc: "He's the commissioner."
Bane: "Now he knows we are here. Search him and then I'll kill you."
(Merc finds Gordon's letter. Gordon jumps in the sewer.)
Bane: "Go and get him."
Merc: "He's gone in the sewers"
Bane: "Follow him." (shoots merc)
Merc: "He's the commissioner."
Bane: "Now he knows we are here. Search him and then I'll kill you."

Unfortunately, I feel like a bunch of people who were looking forward to watching the film this weekend aren't going to watch it at all.

He died, they didn't want to touch it. Don't see why people can't just respect the decision.

Loved that bit. Man the opening shot of Hardy in the sewers was so good.
He tapped the best before Selina. Something would rise in the movie... And it wasn't just from the fireplace.
Yeah.. felt dumb
Didn't connect the kid that Blake finds with Bane gang until I spoke with a friend...
Then also made me realize how he knew where to find Gordon.

I'm not thinking about it until I see the full trailer. Didn't seen enough to form how I feel about it.
That whole thing was comical. Gotham is about to be destroyed and he wastes time putting flaming stuffs up on some bridge.
Saw it a few others ago. Brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy.
On the way there, my friends and I were joking about Batman's WHERE ARE THEYYYYYYYY moments. When one occurred near the end of the film, we tried out best not to laugh but simply couldn't hold it in. The looks we got...

Inspiring the people to act is kind of the point of Batman.
It's kinda absurd.
If they got someone else to play Joker and brought him back for some kind of Cameo like Scarecrow, it would have been disrespectful to Ledger.
If they had just had someone making a throwaway comment about Joker being broken out and running around it would have been completely pointless and gotten edited out of the film anyway (and maybe was!)
I really don't understand people's complaints about this.
There was no time wasted. It's never wasted when you can create a flaming Bat symbol on a bridge.
Yeah, I loved that part of it.
The thug is knocked out by a baterang and the music kicks in. Gordon sees the flare, batman says "light it up" and then we see him, almost as good in the motorcycle chase in the beginning with the cop saying "Oh you're in for a show tonight, son!"
Mindless fanboy pining usually. Then when it actually happens, they're the first to come out and say how bad it was.
The Joker did not require a reference in this movie, and I think that helped the movie more than anything.
The fact that people were taking their kids to watch TDKR is a little disturbing honestly......The bane parts had me batting my eyes a bit. This is definately not a family movie.

Seriously. No matter what, Joker is too big for just a cameo.

My friend pointed me to the most incredibly insane but worthwhile conspiracy theory regarding third films:
"Studio execs ensure shitty trilogy endings so that they can continue the franchise without fans obsessing over the previous incarnation to the point of hampering the future films."
Immaculate.

As far as the Joker goes:
-At the end of TDK he told Batman that they were destined to fight each other forever, if Nolan had even an inkling of an idea that he would have Bruce "retire" this should have been cut and it would have made a reference in TDKR easier because that chapter would have been closed where as the ending of TDK leaves it open.
-There really was not a need to reference the Joker in TDKR as it stands anyways. The whole city was against Batman and he was the one who stopped the Joker. The public was rallied behind Dent to reference the Joker one would have to reference Batman and that would not have been popular with the people of Gotham.
-If any reference was to be made it should have been done at the statue unveiling. Gordon should have pulled a Cain with some tears an recited a speech. The speech should not have mentioned the Joker by name. Instead, the speech should have gone something like, "He rid our city of fear, brought an end to organized crime, fought against anarchy and terrorism, took the fall for the sins of another, and ultimately sacrificed everything for the people of Gotham. He lived for this city and now we must live for him. He was a guardian, a protector, and (man tears) a friend". The reference to anarchy and terrorism would have sufficed for the Joker.
Just my thoughts.

I'd say most kids are used to people getting punched and stuff, that's nothing. My parents let me watch way worse stuff and I turned out fine.

Shameless "lets make the audience cheer by referencing something they like" moment.
He teleported into the city from i don't know where with no money and all, Might as well get that sign magically up there too.
People like Robin?
It was nothing more than Nolan trolling the audience and anyone familiar with the Robin character. In actuality, JGL's character is the next Batman. Not the Robin character.
It wasn't even the punching....The point blank executions by blane and head snapping was enough to not let me put my kids anywhere close to this movie. That's my opinion any way.
Like seriously, maybe today's standards of what's disturbing are higher.......The movie was darker than the previous two. Theme wise especially and the whole atmosphere.

Yea, not like his character was building to that at all.

The delivery was terrible. Its one of those moments where you can tell by the timing of the dialogue that they were expecting a reaction, like on a sitcom when they pause for the laugh-track. I want to say the movie had one other moment like that but I can't remember what it was.
His two speeches felt off. It was mostly about the voice and the things he were saying, like there was a disconnect between the two.

It's funny, because we argued for months about this and it turns out that dude in the background WAS A REAL GUNMAN.
There had to be a better way to do so. My issue with it was the fact that I now have to picture Batman up there doing that like some sketchy graffiti artist getting flaming stuffs all over his cape and having to wash it off later.
He will forever be the riddler to me.
Fight looked like it was pulled out of a 80s flick. Terrible.
That's buster Reeves. Talked to him for a couple mins on Pittsburgh set. Really cool guy.

Huh?
I hate how some of this stuff flew over my head the first time.
But it kind of goes back to the original idea for Batman. As a man, his reputation can be damaged, destroyed.. and that's basically what Bane does to Gordon.. he no longer has the power to lead or be trusted.

We also thought this was in the batcave.

I wish it were. While the fight was already awesome, breaking him in his own home would have been PERFECT. If you're going to base a movie around Knightfall, you might as well borrow the best part.
