So let me get this straight. Bruce and Selina sat around waiting for hours every day in every cafe in Florence in the hopes of seeing Alfred so that Bruce could nod at him?
So let me get this straight...
This movie's so fucking stupid
the scene actually shows Alfreds afterlife where he meets dead Bruce and dead catwoman
The best part is that he's let the world believe he's dead, yet he lounges around in public places without any worry of being spotted or recognized.
Bravo Nolan You Hack
Every time I think about this ending I just think about how fucking cool it would have been if it had ended with just Alfred nodding to the camera
This is the silliest thing. People know who Richard Branson is and what the fuck does he even do? So why wouldn't they know who Bruce Wayne is.
Someone should really make an edit like that. It can't be that hard, the scene has no sound, just music.
Bruce being a master Detective and wealthy beyond the dreams of normal men was able to find out when Alfred arrived in Florence and made sure he was in the cafe on the same day.
Of course, this scene would have been roughly 17 to the power of 10 times more powerful had we just gotten Alfred sitting down, ordering his drink and glancing around before focusing on something, eyes getting glassy and a small smile and a nod before cutting to the credits. Caine had the ability to do it very well too.
BRAVO NOLAN
I dont remember this part of the movie. Is this really a crowd of unarmed (???) police charging a group of guys with automatic weapons?
I'm gonna be totally honest here, this was one of the few superhero films where the stakes were very high and you really wanted the hero to win.
The Dark Knight Rises is probably one of the grimmest superhero films ever made. Completely devoid of humor.
Seeing those policemen all risk their lives and assuming several got killed it really made my heart race. The idea of human self sacrifice. Yes it's a silly made up story but it's still more intense than just seeing two super suit dudes hitting each other.
What fuck do you think those shades are for?
>oh but that's dumb people can still-
And yet no one has ever figured out that Clark Kent is Superman wearing glasses. Regular, non-shaded glasses.
They had guns...mostly their service revolvers, though.
Yes. How the fuck do you not remember this, Sup Forums has memed so hard about this scene.
Yep. a crowd of mostly unarmed cops charged a gunline of automatic weapons with three tanks as well.
>only side with guns
>move closer towards them
??
the guy at the end is literally running at them whilst holding his gun and not shooting
Uh, then maybe he should try WEARING the shades?
ahahahahahaha
gets me everytime
I'd be willing to bet that was the first ending to the movie but then some executive came in and said "well the audience won't know what happened?? you gotta add the scene after that shows them!"
...
Superman doesn't exist in the Nolanverse, so that criteria doesn't hold up.
That said, it's ridiculous in TDK when it's made evident that the cops have zero good leads on Batman's secret ID, even though any decent detective would have Bruce Wayne near the top of their list. Comm Gordon shouldn't have been surprised at all at the end of TDKR...the pieces were all there.
It was freaky to watch because you knew there were no omnipotent super powered super men that were just come out of nowhere and save everyone. You knew lives were actually gonna be lost. You hardly ever see that in a Superhero film.
I left the theatre feeling kinda shit after watching it.
Sup Forums is like the ugly girl who teases the cute boy (TDKR)
you claim to hate this movie and think it's stupid, yet you can't stop talking about it
Except he would have needed to record all three of them there at the same time so he clearly had the part with Bruce and Selina recorded.
It's a fucking children's story. It's fiction you fucking retard.
That's also the case with pretty much all other Capeshit and Star Wars
>Christopher I'm not sure about that scene, maybe we should do another take-
>eh, we'll fix it in post
I hated Oldman's delivery in that scene. He just sounds genuinely confused. "Bruce Wayne?" On top of literally reusing the clip where he gives young Bruce the coat. It would have been much more effective if he'd just had a look of realization on his face after Batman alludes to his identity. Really this just goes to show how stupid Nolan thinks the audience is.
To a degree, but not as much as TDKR. I can't think of another 5 year old film that has been talked about as much.
Ahh, okay. So if we're gonna make a film based on a comic book, we can just be as stupid and illogical as possible and the quality won't suffer one bit. Hence, Schumacher's Batman flicks are every bit as satisfying as Nolan's.
I quiver in the face of your brute force logic, my friend.
>at said, it's ridiculous in TDK when it's made evident that the cops have zero good leads on Batman's secret ID
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (honestly don't remember his character's name. Jack?) figures it out though, and they never really explain how.
Totally
>Exec: So who did Alfred see?
Nolan: Well... Bruce...
>Exec: Well how do we know that?
Nolan: The line earlier in the film...
>Exec: What line?
Nolan: The... The line where Alfred hopes he one day sees Bruce with someone in a cafe retired...
>Exec: I don't remember that, no, no no we need to see him see Batman
Nolan: Batman? You mean Bruce, he won't be sitting there dressed as Batman
>Exec: Good point, no ok just Bruce, Bruce has to be sitting there, the audience has to see it
Nolan: That's too obvious though... the line earlier in the film was pretty clear
>Exec: If I didn't remember it, how would Joe Public, no I'm going to have to pull rank here, Alfred has to sit there and smile and then we have to cut to Batman and Catwoman and Bruce smiles back so we know who Alfred is smiling at
Nolan: o-ok
That's the embarrassing part. Cotillard confirmed that they had done a bunch of other takes and that she was like "Why the fuck did he use that take?" Nolan seriously looked through all the takes and in his autistic glory he decided "Yep, this one looks like the best one."
Yes
>(honestly don't remember his character's name. Jack?)
Robin.
His name was literally Robin.
>*LOTR music plays*
Why the drink Alfred ordered was so tiny?
why is your penis?
wow why are you so rude?
Yep. They knew:
1) Batman had to be wealthy himself, not merely bankrolled (he's too dedicated to just be a hired gun),
2) His general age
3) He had a connection to Rachel Dawes (at the very least, Gordon knew that based on clues in both BB and TDK),
4) Batman begins his "career" pretty much precisely when Bruce Wayne mysteriously returns from the dead with no explanation for his long absence
5) and they know that Bruce Wayne would have a strong motivation to see justice done, considering what had happened to his parents.
And lastly, are we really supposed to believe that no one else at Wayne Enterprises who'd worked in R&D with Lucius Fox would recognize the Batmobile/Tumbler?
>and they never really explain how.
Are you kidding? He literally directly states that he knew it just from looking at Bruce and seeing himself in him. Granted, this is a complete bullshit explanation, but it is there.
Nolan films are full of stupid glaring shit they should've done another take on or edited better but he just doesn't give a shit. TDKR truly is the pinnacle of that art.
>Hence, Schumacher's Batman flicks are every bit as satisfying as Nolan's.
They're much better.
...
I can't think of any issues like that in TDK.
My fave is the clip where Batman's taking down some thugs and one of them just goes down without Bats going anywhere near him.
they sort of tried to deal with this by making Bruce act like a playboy retard.
>you think I should go to the hospital?
>you don't watch a lot of news, do you Mr Wayne?
But then Alfred wouldn't recognize him, duh.
The world thinks Batman is dead.
Not Bruce Wayne.
Fucking retards on this board
Good point but that was in the good film, not TDKR.
Bruce Wayne's death was in the papers.
Holy shit, is this bait? They literally had a funeral for BRUCE WAYNE.
in TDKR in public he was known as a recluse and a cripple
shockwaves bro
This one?
Yeah. In Batman Begins.
And then he showed up however many years later.
Ha! That's the one. Second unit directors, man.
This is what happens when retards like you speedwatch movies and then try and participate in discussions on Sup Forums.
He just looks like he fired the gun and the recoil knocked him over.
My head canon is that he decided he didn't wanna wake up in the morning with a broken jaw, so he faked going down.
he's a butler so he ain't exactly rich
I never understood how batmans motorcycle like fucking flips around so he can turn real quick.
It looks entirely non functional and like it'd fucking bust apart as soon it started bumping on the guns and shit
Someone post the Alfred “failed you” monologue copypasta. You know the one that says “I thought you’d stop posting on the internet by now and find yourself a nice 4/10.”
how the fuck did you miss that
lmao
Well I mean, it's either that or he's fucking dead and an old man is dreaming. One makes more sense, you know?
Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm workin' at the N.S.A. and somebody puts a code on my desk, somethin' no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it, maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. And once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels are hidin'. Fifteen hundred people that I never met, I never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', 'Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area,' 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called 'cause they were out pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie over there takin' shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks.
Meanwhile he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so that we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the little skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helpin' my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. They're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, maybe they even took the liberty of hirin' an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work. He can't afford to drive, so he's walkin' to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks because the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorroids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause eve
Nah. The one Alfred visits is the same one that he has been going to for years. Bruce knew this, obv.
Not what I requested but still a fun read.
ry time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State.
>So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure, fuck it, while I'm at it, why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.
that was a last minute change to make the obscure bruce wayne character more prominent. the original ending made more sense
hol up......
Baneposters are fucking retarded.
t. hothead
>They expect one of us in Florence, brother.
t. hotheed
why are you here
Agreed. But everything needs to be explained for Cinderfella and Cinderella
I though he just slipped and fell down
Still hilarious though
>Really this just goes to show how stupid Nolan thinks the audience is.
Unfortunately the average audience is fucking retarded so he's not wrong
Kek
She faked her death. Also Nolan wants to tell that Talia is a bad actress.
>oh fuck Batman
>my Obamacare insurance is really shit
>can't afford broken bones and probably concussion or TBI
>I'll just lie down and tell the lads he got me too
At least he has insurance thanks to Obamacare. I cannot fathom the people who vote to have their insurance taken away. Like, what is the logic there?
I worked hard to get a good education and acquire marketable skills so I could get a good job that provides me with really good insurance without having to steal from fellow taxpayers.
I can not fathom lazy bottom feeding poor people who unironically believe they have a right to other people's money.
>Fuck you, I got mine!
Seriously? You're not Christian, I hope.
...for you!
I can believe that this is exactly what happened.
>the guy trying to slap him with his gun
Would have been kino if he just nodded and smiled, then cut to credits without ever showing Bruce.
Nope, atheist. Also was a social worker for 10 years because I wanted to help people.
Then a realized that drug addicts, ghetto and trailer trash, and poor people in general are incapable of doing anything but leeching from the rest of us.
>Arrow Season Finale
Fuck, you're right.
Not everything literally happens in a movie
BRAVO NOLAN
dumbass
>opposite day in america
NO MORE DEAD COPS
I FOUND YOU GORDON. ONLY I KNOW WHAT SEWER YOU FELL INTO.
SEND EVERY COP IN THE FORCE INTO THE SEWERS LEL
DEATH OR EXILE LMAO?
I FAILED YOU MR AND MRS WAYNE CRIES
I FANTASIZE ABOUT YOU MR WAYNE
HIS ONLY CRIME WAS LOVING ME
I KNEW YOU WERE BATMAN THE MOMENT I SAW YOU
I thought it was a clever twist that taking off Bane's mask was indeed extremely painful - for Bane.
Wait, Bruce is actually alive? I've thought it was Alfred dreaming of seeing him ever since I first watched it.
