I would kill to see Fassbender as the Riddler. They should take him dark and extreme like they do in Arkham City. They need to have Riddler deathrooms and traps scattered around Gotham. That would make for an awesome movie, Batman meets Saw.

[Nalej]

Fassbender would be amazing! I wish.

Just saw it for the third time... it just keeps on getting better

[vidae]

So I finally saw this. Good movie.

[soybean]

So here's a fan made batman short film involving the Riddler set in the Nolan Universe. What do you guys think?

Keep in mind this is fan made so they obviously don't have good actors or crazy special effects.

I thought the guy that played Scarface's handler was awesome.

[Bulldogs]

Yeah I saw that, didn't like it much tbh.

[diabsoule]

Finally saw this today with my Dad. We both really enjoyed it.

[Nalej]

My wife loved it and she didn't care for the Dark Knight. (Something we argue over repeatedly)

[niel89]

Saw it for a second time. Enjoyed it again. Not sure that Bruce survived though.

Well he did.

Yeah it is heavily, heavily alluded to towards the end.

I'm fine with the idea that he got out and used the auto pilot, but I could also see the perspective where he actually died in the explosion, the light for Gordon & the Bag for Blake were preset to happen, and Alfred is mentally fractured and saw what he wanted to at that restaurant.

He probably just ejected but there was no indication that he was able to get out. It shows him piloting it seconds before it exploded.

He was definitely alive. Alfred didn't know much about the relationship between Bat and Cat.

It shows him piloting a bat. Doesn't mean he is not piloting a second bat that also has auto pilot. He could have ejected the bat with the bomb and got into another bat.

yeah, but Lucius Fox is also told that Wayne fixed the autopilot at the end... that part hammered it home to me - it was pretty obvious what was being alluded to

[Caddy]

And he fixed the bat light.

[A Perfect Score]

And the bat was banging into skyscrapers clumsily coming out above the water, indicating the autopilot was already on and Bruce exited somewhere in the city.

[wogitalia]

Saw it the other day and all I can say based on the last page of this thread is that you are almost certainly just creating things in your head if you don't think he survived...

Plus... you can't kill the batman.

[Ness]

With the city having hours to survive, I doubt that Bruce would have went to the trouble of getting the signal fixed and leaving directions for Blake. Gotham was in chaos, there wasn't time for all of that.

And like someone else said why would Selina Kyle have been in Alfred's "delusion"?

I can't wait for Nolan to do an interview down the line to slam the door shut on Bruce Wayne surviving. Then I wonder what all of the fans that want an Inception-like ending will say. Something more ridiculous of course. I just don't understand why people feel inclined to believe that they should over-think the ending. Are they trying to make themselves feel smarter or something?

[Caddy]

Not sure if serious...

[Ness]

So apparently a lot of this movie was left out on the cutting room floor. Including Bane's origin. Which is surprising. There are rumors that Warner Bros. may not have given Nolan as much leeway as he wanted. The weird thing is that The Dark Knight didn't have this issue. I've heard that maybe an hour and a half may have been left out.

[CashmoneyDrew]

The original cut was rumored to be close to 4 hours long. Wouldn't surprise me.

[OSUGiants17]

If/when they end up releasing the full 4 hour uncut version I am so totally buying it. I really need to invest in a bluray too so I can really experience it.

[Jvig43]

I love how people keep trying to get all inception on the ending, despite how unopen ended it was.
