It's always the little things (comparatively) that people go ape shit over.

We learn that he wasn't on it in the closing montage, but prior to that Luscious Fox scene in the montage the audience has no reason to suspect that Bruce lived. |

Right. So at the end, it's given to us that he wasn't on it, thus explaining it just fine.

It was poorly scripted.

I do think Banes death should have been a little more epic. Him getting blindsided like that was kind of cheap.

Was the Arab swordsman's death in the first Indiana Jones movie cheap because it happened in a surprising and quick way? This was the same type of unexpected and abrupt ending for a bad guy. And Bane wasn't the main villain as it turned out. Talia was.

The Arab swordsman was on screen for 10 seconds. His death was a joke, and it was ad libbed.
And I don't care what you say, Bane was the main villain. He was the antagonist.

Agreed. Talia was the one pulling the strings, but Bane was the only baddie throughout 90 percent of the film.

Batman defeated him. And I disagree with the idea that the way it was done wasn't 'batmanish' enough. Wayne learned in prison that Bane's mask kept the pain at bay. He made a clear, concerted effort to attack that mask. In so doing, he got Bane to 'fight like a younger man' himself, as Bane mocked Batman for doing in the prior fight. I liked the way that scene played out. And I liked the unexpected and ignominious way he was dispatched once it was clear he was no more than a pawn in the whole thing. He was taken from an unbeateable genius super-thug to a defeated sidekick in the span of 5 minutes; then unceremoniously blown to hell by another sidekick. I liked how Nolan was casually dismissive of him at that point. How he died was ultimately irrelevant after he was decisively handled up to it.

The way Bane died was just half-assed IMO.
Would have been more kickass if Batman ripped it (Bane's mask) off and beat the crap out of him. Instead, Catbitch blew him away with the bike. (lame)

Eh, to each their own.
Batman ripping a mask off a villain he clearly already defeated doesn't do much for me. Instead you got the 'trust' element that has been mentioned, as well as just a casual bludgeoning of an emasculated bad guy and an unquestioned jarring feeling when the dude took a damn missile to the ribs. I thought it was badass in its own right.
