I'll explain why this movie was trash.

Firstly, Bruce Wayne was Batman was at most a year to a year and a half before he retires for 8 yrs. If this isn't a slap in the face to the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman I don't know what is.

Not only does TDKR trample on Batman's character but it undermines everything set up from Batman Begins and TDK.


At the end of TDK, it's established that Batman will take the responsibility for Harvey's death and those who Harvey killed. They give a whole dialogue b/w Batman and Gordan stating that the police will hunt him from this point forward. That Batman needed to take that responsibility on and play the bad guy b/c that's what Gotham needed. But in the beginning of TDKR none of that happens, why b/c Bruce has decided to stay home and give up his holy mission. To add insult to injury, he's given it up b/c Rachel died.

In Batman Begins and TDK, Alfred not only promises to never give up on Bruce but also tells Bruce that he needs to endure as Batman. In this one, he completely betrays everything he stood for, going as far to leave Bruce. Not to mention Bruce letting his "father" for all intensive purposes leave b/c of a dead girl who didn't even want him anymore.

Another thing, TDK explains why no one else can be Batman besides Bruce. His training wasn't everything that made him Batman. It was the anger he felt as a kid from losing his parents, which drived his entire core. To prevent ppl from suffering what he suffered. He believes this entirely, which is why he doesn't allow for the fake Batmen to go around trying to help him. More importantly, Harvey(Gotham's White Knight) couldn't pull off saving the city as Bruce hoped. Harvey failed. So why the f*ck would Bruce entrust the Batman mantle to some rookie cop b/c he said that he could tell who he was from 1 look. Bruce knew what it took to become Batman and it wasn't simply being an orphan kid with a simple moral compass.

Last but not least. He was able to beat Bane because he found fear again? Are you kidding me, and the way he found and overcame this fear is by making a jump that a 10 yr old child was able to make? Give me a break.

fukking ridiculous.

Why does the movie have to be exactly like the comics? It's not like it somehow makes the film less entertaining.

That's some whiny fanboy type shyt.

The Nolan Batman trilogy was just one of the many retellings and re-imaginings of the Batman mythos. It's not meant to be Earth 1 Batman. Look at it like an Elseworld title.

6 Happy Movie Endings That Actually Ruin the Hero's Life

#6. The Dark Knight Rises -- Bruce Wayne Will Get Recognized in 15 Minutes


152793.jpg



The "Happy" Ending:


The plot of The Dark Knight Rises would take us five entire articles to summarize, so we're just gonna skip to the end (SPOILERS!): After having his back broken (for a while, anyway), defusing a months-long terror plot on Gotham City and putting up with some outrageous accents, Bruce Wayne decides to fake his own death, retire to Europe with Catwoman and leave all his Batman shyt to his ex-cop buddy, John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), whose legal name, conveniently, is Robin.

152767.jpg

Clearly a reference to Robin Williams, who nearly played the Riddler.

For a while it looks to the audience like Wayne really died, but in the last scene, his faithful butler, Alfred, is in a restaurant in Florence and sees him sitting there with Catwoman, in reference to a conversation they'd had earlier.

152768_v1.jpg

A second later, he starts mouthing, "I'm nailing her."

But After the Movie's Over ...


So, uh, Bruce Wayne is a world-famous playboy millionaire who supposedly died during a terrorist plot that will go down in the annals of history ... and he's just sitting there, in the middle of a crowded restaurant, completely undisguised? Seriously? Imagine some alternate universe where Donald Trump died in the 9/11 attacks, then showed up alive a year later. The question isn't whether someone will recognize him, it's how fast they'll do it. By the time he asks for the check, his photo will be prominently displayed on every major news outlet in the world.

But let's say Bruce simply dropped his fake mustache in that one shot. Let's say Alfred is just senile and imagined the whole thing.

152769_v1.jpg

This is Europe, there's probably LSD in that cup.

That doesn't change the fact that Gotham City is still screwed, because there's no Batman. Sure, Bruce left all his gadgets and stuff to Blake, but that was an incredibly naive thing to do, because it ignores the fact that Batman's true superpower was always money. If his tank broke down or exploded, he just got a new one. Actually, forget the tank: What's Blake gonna do when something tears up his Batsuit, like the dogs at the beginning of The Dark Knight? Patch it up with duct tape?

152770.jpg

Blake after two nights.

And that's the other thing: Bruce trained to be Batman by traveling the world for seven years, most of which was spent with a group of highly skilled assassins in the mountains. Contrast that with Blake/Robin, who was at one point overpowered by Gary Oldman in a hospital gown. What's going to happen when the Joker comes back (presumably he escaped from prison with the other criminals), or when a guy who looks like the Penguin as played by Philip Seymour Hoffman inevitably shows up?

Actually, the comics have already told us: They'll beat the shyt out of Robin, only this time there won't be a Batman to come and rescue him.

The next Batman movie will be this, for three hours.
