| Jul 26, 2012 at 19:40 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | @Nobby I don't see any ambiguity there, of course the whole movie could be a dream, but well. I would rather understand it as Bruce finally finding a way to let go (kill?) Batman and bring the ultimate sacrifice without dying. He finally got back his will to live, analogous to his escape from the pit. He realized that you don't have to die in order to give your life a meaning. So why not use the autopilot (at least it would be rubbish to explicitly mention the repaired autopilot at the end and Alfred doesn't dream about Lucious). But Ok, to each his own, interpretation is still for free. | |

| Jul 25, 2012 at 15:33 | comment | added | stevvve | I'm really starting to enjoy the ambiguity of the ending, actually. You're slowly converting me here, @Nobby! | |
| Jul 25, 2012 at 15:16 | comment | added | Nobby | He had already stated that he needed to make the ultimate sacrifice (at least this is hinted in his dialogue) + would he really entrust the autopilot (which he hadn't tested yet) to get the bomb away from the city? + he handed his legacy on to John Blake + he had nothing left in the world now that Rachel was gone and Alfred had left him. That said, I think the ending is ambiguous enough to let us all enjoy the ending we hope it is. For some he lives, for others he dies. It's a glass half-full/empty scenario :) | |

| Jul 24, 2012 at 2:44 | comment | added | Nobby | Indeed - a pretty interesting idea. +1 However, I still subscribe to the notion that Bruce Wayne is dead, and that final scene is all in Alfred's head. | |
