the dark knight rises review

bat logo upside down to robin
after reviewing the film I have concluded one thing that Bruce Wayne is pretty much alive and it is not an illusion that Alfred saw him with Selena Kyle in Florence. Chris Nolan the director of the dark knight trilogy has been so wise in making the explosion at the end where the batman took the bomb to the ocean and save Gotham from it's doom. We all saw the bomb exploded but the question is on what manner did the bomb exploded? the bomb exploded in the water that the water rises so it means the bomb has let go before it exploded. Remember what fox says earlier about the bat. He says " Nothing beats air superiority "and I believe that the bat has the ability to escape the explosion with just a little time left on the clock if not whats the difference between the bat and the ordinary aircraft. Though we haven't saw the full potential of the Bat in the movie knowing Wayne enterprises vehicles they just have so much in their arsenal. The other reason why I think Bruce Wayne is alive is that at the end Lucius Fox ask that if there is anything that he could do to fix it but the technician replied that it has already been fixed six months ago and the patch was applied by Bruce Wayne. Six months is enough for Gotham to re establish it's city from the aftermath caused by bane's invasion. There are some other things too that prove that Batman is still alive one proof is the bat signal at Jim Gordon's office which has been fixed. If your going to tell me that it might be someone else, dumb answer! what's the point of fixing the bat signal if batman is no more. Does that make sense? One more sign is who gave John Blake whom has been revealed to be Robin at the end the coordinates of the bat cave. The location of this cave is very secret since it is covered by a waterfall and only few people knows it that counts Alfred, Fox and Bruce Wayne. I don't know whats driving me on this movie, maybe people like me just want a proper closure for the batman. I have come up a theory which Chris Nolan might take for the future of the batman. We saw Robin in the end entering the bat cave so maybe it's a hint that he will make another trilogy which centers Robin then the seventh film might be Batman and Robin fighting there most vile foes. what do you think?

does batman really ended in the dark knight rises?

Warning: Spoilers about the ending of "Dark Knight Rises" lie ahead!
Throughout Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, one question consistently emerged: How long can Bruce Wayne keep suiting up as Batman?
In "The Dark Knight," Wayne memorably informed trusty butler Alfred that "Batman has no limits." Not the case for Bruce Wayne as a man, Alfred pointed out, to which Bruce replied, "Well, I can't afford to know them." In "The Dark Knight Rises," however, Wayne learned the hard way that both he and his elemental alter ego do have limits. No one can suffer the back-breaking pain of Bane and walk away consequence-free. And just as there's an end to what the Caped Crusader can accomplish, there's a line that Nolan as a storyteller refused to cross: killing Batman.

Is Batman In 'The Dark Knight Rises' Destined For Trouble?
Though many signs pointed to the ultimate demise of Bruce Wayne by the end of "Rises," the hero survived and flew off with an unexpectedly happy ending. But even though he lived to fight another day (come on, you really think he'll stay retired?), Wayne certainly felt his fair share of pain throughout the "Dark Knight" conclusion. And from actor Christian Bale's perspective, that kind of reckoning was always coming his way.
"He's always been destined for some kind of a fall," the actor told MTV News. "We know that he's altruistic, we know his motives are born from genuine, sincere pain and a very understandable desire for revenge. We know he's attempting to turn that into something good, but we [also] know he has this monstrous personality inside of him. He's forsaken his life for that. Unless you make some serious changes, you know that something will befall him that's not going to be healthy.

"He's almost begging for a downward spiral," Bale continued. "He's begging for pain. He wants to have that pain inflicted upon him. It's something that's been a concern throughout all of these movies. That's expressed in a scene in 'Batman Begins' by Alfred, who is always the heart of these stories. 'And then what? And then what? How does this end?' "
Well, it doesn't end with the death of Batman, we know that much. Asked if there was any part of him that wanted to see Bruce die in the end, Bale smiled and said, "Not from an acting point of view. Not from any desire to never have to act again. I've enjoyed immensely playing the role."

Robin next after darknight rises

After seeing the I am still mesmerizing how epic it was., however its sad since it has to end. There are some confusion in the ending scene where Alfred(trusted person of the Wayne family) is Italy and he saw Selena Kyle and Bruce Wayne in the restaurant after the Batman was announced dead then people of Gotham comemorate him as a hero for what he has done to Gotham. Maybe what Chris Nolan tries to tell us that Batman the persona is  dead but Bruce Wayne the man is alive and he will hang up the cowl and the cape permanently. We also saw the ending where Robin Blake enters the bat cave and does gives us a hint that Nolan may create another film which is Robin. Robin is known for many as a sidekick of Batman but he is a stand alone hero maybe Chris Nolan will be making the Robin film( I hope he does) and we may see Bruce Wayne again training Robin. Personally I hate reboots of the film which is great and made an Icon for me Bale is the best Batman and Nolan is a realist which makes the batman film even better. I hope to see Robin in the big screen and Nolan to direct it will be so awesome. I included you a video from you tube and this guy explains the end scene well and check out this costume concept for robin

bourne legacy no.1 in canadian box office

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Action movie "The Bourne Legacy," with new star Jeremy Renner, raced to the No. 1 spot on U.S. and Canadian box office charts with an estimated $40.3 million in ticket sales over the weekend.
New adult comedy "The Campaign" debuted in second place, winning $27.4 million at domestic theaters. The two new movies knocked three-time box office champion "The Dark Knight Rises" to third place.
"Bourne Legacy" is the fourth movie in the spy franchise that previously starred Matt Damon and has grossed nearly $1 billion around the world. Damon played a CIA assassin with memory loss who tried to discover his true identity while evading the CIA's attempts to kill him.
Universal cast Renner in the new movie in an effort to reboot the series for future sequels. Renner plays agent Aaron Cross, who tries to escape his CIA pursuers with the help of genetic scientist Marta Shearing, played by Rachel Weisz.
Universal and privately held Relativity Media produced "Bourne Legacy" for about $125 million. Opening weekend sales beat Universal's projections for a $35 million debut.
Nikki Rocco, Universal Pictures' president of domestic distribution, said the film performed as expected, and that the studio was happy with its opening weekend.
"It's a validation, it's a successful rebooting of the franchise," she said, adding that it gives Universal an opportunity to continue the Bourne saga.
"The Bourne Legacy" nabbed $48.1 million worldwide over the weekend, bringing its global total to $88.4 million.
"The Campaign" also exceeded pre-weekend forecasts, which had the film debuting with around $20 million. The movie stars Will Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis as two candidates facing off against each other in a race for U.S. Congress.
Dan Fellman, president of theatrical distribution for Warner Bros., said the political comedy played especially well in Washington and Boston as the U.S. presidential campaign gets into full swing.
"We think that the real campaign will add to our 'Campaign'," he said.
"Dark Knight Rises," the final movie in a Batman trilogy starring Christian Bale, took in $19.5 million at North American (U.S. and Canadian) theaters over the weekend. The blockbuster has grossed over $390 million in the U.S. and Canada since its July 20 debut.
"Hope Springs," a new romantic comedy/drama, finished the weekend in the No. 4 spot with $15.6 million. The film stars Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as an aging couple trying to bring a spark back to their marriage.
"Hope DOES spring," said Rory Bruer, president of distribution at Sony, who expects the film to continue to play well among older audiences.
In fifth place, family film "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" earned $8.2 million during its second weekend in theaters.
Despite doing well overseas, science-fiction reboot "Total Recall" took in a meager $8.1 million its second weekend, taking a tumble from its tepid $26 million opening.
Comcast Corp's Universal Pictures released "Bourne Legacy." "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Campaign" were distributed by Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc.. Sony Corp's film studio released "Hope Springs," and News Corp's 20th Century Fox studio distributed "Diary of a Wimpy Kid."
