the thing that bugged me about that is where the **** will he get training equal to Bruce had with The League of Shadows. The Gotham YMCA doesn't teach Ninja skills.

That said, still a cool ending, I assume this won't continue. I always wondered what JGL role would be in the end. |

Also, we don't know that John Blake is poor, nor do we know that there wasn't contingency money left by Wayne for Blake in the Batcave or via some other means, like Alfred or Fox. I mean, all of this is totally out of the scope of the movie, but it doesn't take huge leaps of logic to see why he wouldn't be Batman. |

Yes, it's Nolan's Batman. Where the guy, who isn't Batman, but is named Robin, is going to be Batman . . . because Bruce Wayne left him some toys? I don't think so.

Look, I am not saying he isn't going to be Robin. Just that the movie leaves us with him being completely on his own with only what is available in the cave. None of it really matters though. Nolan is done with the franchise. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what real scenes does Alfred share with Selina & Bruce? Maybe I'm blanking on an obvious but I don't recall him seeing the two together to pick up on the attraction vibe except they discuss her a bit after she boosted the pearls?
Makes me believe he's actually alive when coupled with Fox finding out autopilot was fixed - even though he's in the plane right as it explodes. Are we to assume that he released the bomb & then flew far enough to get out of the blast radius that should gave been fairly large. I think I prefer if it was just Alfred's imagination, but unlikely. Ya, there are plenty of weak plot points, The one that I literally blurted out bullshit was after the truck drops to the sublevel / lower street and Gordon just pops out totally fine like a human wouldn't get seriously injured free falling in a giant metal box with other giant metal objects rattling around. I can live with it and enjoyed it still. AH did an amazing job in her role, I was pleasantly surprised with JGL performance - I think he's a great actor but didn't know if his acting chops could play it the way he did & it actually come off as believable as opposed to simply getting the role by de facto as 1 of Nolan's anointed group of preferred actors.

As for the Gordon/truck thing, I guess the rationale there is that the bomb was pretty heavy and probably didn't move around much (although I'd have to go back and re-examine the other film footage, as the bomb didn't seem that heavy earlier). And they do "wound" Gordon by showing him grabbing his arm as he asks Catwoman to help him get the bomb out of the truck (I assume their attempts to deflect the valid "how could he be fine?!?" complaint). And, when you think about the physics, the cab of the truck is what smashed into the pavement and absorbed the shock of the fall; the back end just sort of tilts and then falls straight down using only the kinetic force of gravity (whereas the cab smashed with the kinetic force of the speeding truck). |

Mainly because... you know... his name is Robin. Pretty stupid superhero to name his superhero identity after his super top secret identity. |
