The Dark Knight Rises: Ending Analysis

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" AND "INCEPTION" AHEAD


Now that the Dark Knight Rises has been in theatres for almost a month, we can talk about it all spoiler-ish without being crucified. It's a little late for a review, so I'll just say in short, what I think of the movie: awesome, great cast, lots of unexpected stuff happening, lots of things to bash our heads in, sense of finality, an unforgettable cinematographical experience. Just to clarify my appeal for it.

Now to refresh our minds: at the end of the Dark knight rises, Batman carried away the nuke with the Bat so far, that Gotham was out of its explosion range. Since the Bat didn't have the autopilot installed, Batman died and sacrificed himself in order to save the city. But some undetermined time later, Lucius Fox discovers that Bruce Wayne installed the autopilot on the Bat months ago. Later, we see Alfred seeing Bruce and Selina Kyle at a restaurant in Florence. No kids. 





Since Alfred told Bruce a story of how he goes to Florence every year and hopes and/or dreams (I don't really know) of seeing him, many people tought the ending was actually just Alfred imagining or dreaming or hoping or you get the idea. I do not agree, since Alfred never actually saw that Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle were "a thing", so it must have been reality and that it's not really an Inception-styled open ending. Some people proclaimed, that Alfred might still be imagining since he knew Selina and that Bruce was after her. No, he didn't! He was all "Miranda Tate is very lovely" and didn't know anything! Therefore, I find this argument unlogical and as much as I would want to find this an open edning where everibody is happy and anyone can make their own interpretation, it just doesn't seem so.


What did you think of the ending? Do you have any other interpretations? Was it a "worthy" ending? Comment below, let me know!
