Robin John Blake is the Superboy Prime of the Nolanverse. His parents named him Robin and he read Batman comics while he was still a kid! He got transported to the Nolanverse where the comics he read is real and that's why he knows Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Explains everything.
 
Saw it on Friday and loved it. As has been stated here many times.. the last 5 minutes and the ending was fantastic. I might have shed a tear or two...

Have to say I wasn't a huge fan of the plot and thought there were definitely some holes in it, but it didn't hurt the film.

Batman's first appearance gave me chills and some of the action scenes were epic.

I need to see it again but I think it is my second favorite. For now it would be BB>TDKR>TDK. Begins is just perfect especially the first hour.
 
The Robin scene would have been better if it went like this:

"Here, use my legal name"

"Oh! I really like your full name: Mary Sue."

i think harvey dent didn't actually die at the end of tdk

he's just in a coma in the hospital and everything that happens in tdkr is his dream

also when young bruce fell into the well, he was knocked into a coma and the whole trilogy is his dream

The entire Wayne family and Gotham City is just a coma dream Alfred had after he get beaned in the head by a jewel the size of a tangerine.
 
Well, I just saw the movie and I'm... disappointed. It was a good movie, but a bad Batman movie. Nolan's films have always had a pretty poor characterization of Batman; not smart enough, not tragic enough, but I think this ending really betrays the character. This story definitely felt the most contrived of the trilogy, both in characterization and plot. Though of course nothing could top DCAU's Epilogue.

"Ugh, I fucking hate that name. Robin. 7/10."
 
Where was the Joker after Bane let all the criminals out? We saw Scarecrow.

Oh you guys thought this was the end? It's just the beginning.

I actually have a real question, why did Bruce see Ras in the prison? I presume it was just some fever dream, but he imparted actual information to Bruce which he otherwise doesn't seem to have been able to know.

Holy shit Nolan isn't even producing, he's handed the reins over to Written Directed Name

Also, the next villain was already hinted at by Gordon, when he said "chasing alligators in the sewers". Looks like Blake was actually Waylon Jones the whole time!

Real answer? To show that, like in the comics, Ra's Al Ghul is immortal. But since the comics can stray into magic and the supernatural, this was a realistic interpretation of his immortality.

A feverish dream on the part of Bruce's imagination that gives new life to the character temporarily, while telling Bruce the obvious. Even audience members should have been able to put two and two together when they intentionally hide the identity of the mercenary.

The twist is that the child is not who the audience is led to believe through these obvious hints being dropped.
 
I thought that bane didn't give the detonator to a random citizen.

I thought he implied that it was one of his goons disguised as a normal citizen. Basically indicating that killing bane and his known goons would not stop the detonation.

To be honest, I thought Bane was speaking metaphorically. like "It's your(the people of Gotham) decision if I push this button or not so don't get in our way."

Watching that again, what was the bit about the "missing item" and "leaving no stone unturned" that the lawyer asked his clerk during the will reading?

I actually thought he said "missing island," like some unaccounted-for land to hint at Bruce's whereabouts.

I disagree the audience should automatically presume the merc was Ras. They hide her friend's face too, by the same logic, the audience should presume Ras was also the guy in the prison.

But thanks, I think that's kind of a shitty answer, but I can certainly believe it's true.
