I also have a qualm with this. That scene in the beginning where Alfred talks about his daydream during Bruce's 7-year vacation from Gotham, in which he imagined seeing Wayne with a family, etc.? That scene was retroactively ruined by the TWIST! in the ending montage.

So much of TDKR has moments that you think are good character moments but later you realize that the only purpose they served in the film was to swerve the audience, to set up a patented Nolan TWIST!

Can you explain this to me a bit more

What was the Twist?

The fact that Bruce was with Cat Woman? The Fact that he didn't die?

Just a little confused

Batman does not get a happy ending,
it worked for the movies
I liked it but really the Batman needed a death, Bruce wayne can live on,
wonder if him an Selina are pulling off hiests for fun


and no ****ing Robin sequels, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Carrie Kelly but would not mind seeing Damian Wayne try it
out geek that

Wait, are you talking about TDKR or Breaking Bad?

(Sorry, cheap shot, had to)

Seriously though, it didn't bother me one bit. I guess because I didn't see it as a twist. I knew going in there was no way they were killing off Bruce Wayne.

I'm just THRILLED we got the breaking of the Bat. That's all I really wanted. Well, that, and a competent Catwoman.

I'm satisfied on both scores.

Who said there was a twist?
