Batman twist

In the new Batman movie, there is a major twist in the end. There are four significant events in the movie ending. These plot points twist the plot, as we think the opposite in the setup and development. The first and second act hide the truth of such events up until the movie ending. We will the Batman twist with dishing out TDKR spoilers.

***TDKR spoilers***

The Dark Knight Rises twist ending is several twists wrapped up in one major finale. We Batman fly an atomic bomb outside of Gotham to save the day. However, we are sure Batman survives the atomic blast. Fox discovered that Bruce Wayne repaired the autopilot function. We are supposed to think this revelation is enough evidence Batman survived the atomic blast because he is not in the Bat plane. 

Batman looks like he is accepting a huge decision with about 5 second remaining on the bomb timer. This atomic ending is a major twist since Batman has never been put in a position to possibly die. Batman fans are furious to even read anything related to the Dark Knight's death. 

Repairing the autopilot function has little impact on whether Batman survives or dies. Thus providing the autopilot information give Batman fans hope that their caped crusader survives the atomic blast. How can Batman survive an atomic explosion? Batman is in the Bat plane up until the a few seconds remaining in the explosion.

Are we supposed to believe Batman is flying inside another Batman plan while controlling another? Batman managed to swap Bat planes with less than 2 minutes to go? Oh year, Batman beat Bane to a pulp to coerce him into giving up the whereabouts of the remote detonator. Showing Batman in the Bat plane is not out of sequence. It is too easy to suggest Batman is in another plan playing Russian roulette with millions of lives. We believe Batman dies in the atomic explosion. 

Miranda reveals she is Ra's Al Ghul's daughter. She is the one who climbs out of the pit instead of Bane. In same scene, Catwoman shoots Bane dead with the Bat bike cannons. Bane is dead. The surprising twist is learning that Miranda is Talia, Ra's Al Ghul's daughter. 

An event more twist occurs in a few scenes later. Batman makes the critical decision to fly the atomic bomb out of Gotham City. Gordon tells Batman he is a hero. Batman responds, "Anyone can be a hero. Even a man who put a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know the world hadn't ended." Wow! This is nice twist that Batman finally reveals his true identity in an important moment in both Gordon and Bruce's lives. 

Gordon consoles Bruce at his darkest moment. Only Bruce can reveal this moment to Gordon. It is significant for Batman to serve up a major clue to Gordon. Gordon has no idea who Batman really is. Now Gordon knows, as Batman saves his son's life and is on the verge of sacrificing his life to keep Gotham safe. 

The twist is on again with John Blake retrieving a bag. He reveals his name as John "Robin" Blake. It keeps getting better in every given second to advance The Dark Knight Rises ending. 

We are not done yet. In the previous scene, Alfred is emotionally distraught, crying a river at Bruce Wayne's grave site. He feels he has failed the Wayne family. Their beloved son is now dead. Alfred is the only person to show major emotion with the passing of Bruce Wayne. We Blake showing emotion through anger. He tosses his detective badge in the river a few seconds after the atomic blast kills Batman. 

Fox learns that Bruce Wayne repaired the autopilot. This revelation is intended to give Batman fans hope their favorite hero is alive. In the Italian cafe scene, Alfred is having coffee or tea. He looks over at the usual location that he shares with Bruce in the turning point linking the first and second act. 

Surprisingly, Alfred sees Bruce Wayne is somehow alive and is dining with Selina. However, Selina's face is facing the street. Alfred has a look of happiness on his face. Bruce acknowledges Alfred with a slight grin. We think this is a dream scene or a fantasy. Batman fans think an autopilot fix is enough evidence to save Batman. We think Alfred is dreaming of this moment. 

If Alfred is not supposed to be live a life of pain with Master Bruce gone, then this Italian Cafe scene is hinting his death. His last image is a subconscious thought of Bruce finding happiness. Why think that ending with a dream sequence is inconsistent? Alfred doesn't know that Bruce is with Selina. Her face is never shown in plain view. The cafe scene is intended to covey Bruce's happiness, which is possibly Alfred's fantasy, a dream, or his last dying wish that is projected through a subconscious image.  

The cliffhanger introduces us to the transformation of John Blake into Nightwing. He represents the new hero rising in The Dark Knight Rises. With the passing of legend, there is a new beginning in a new hero. Blake is guided to the Bat Cave. The platform then moves upward with Blake rising. This cliffhanger ending is a twist to set our sight on an origin of another chapter.  

Batman twists are surprising since we never expect any of these events. A twist ending is a revelation, which can happen a number of ways such as the protagonist experiencing a major discovery, the moviegoers finding out new information that twists the plot, showing flashbacks to previous unknown events, serving up a major event that is later revisited, and even working backwards such as Christopher Nolan's Memento. Twist endings are intriguing because they change the outcome. Movies with a twist are exciting to watch since moviegoers must piece together plot clues like detectives. 

The Dark Knight Rises movie features twist after twist in the ending. In the twist, we learn Miranda's true identity, Gordon discovers Batman's identity, Bane is not the young boy from League of Shadows, Batman dies in an atomic blast, Alfred may have died as well, and John Blake is hinted to become Nightwing. The Dark Knight Rises twist ending features multiple endings with several plot twists.

***The Dark Knight Rises twist ending***

Batman beats Bane to a pulp. He has no fear after passing the ultimate test of escaping the underground dungeon. It is believed that Bane is the child who escaped the dungeon. Bane is supposed to be battle tested to overcome any pain. 

Batman pounds Bane a few more time on his face to provoke him to speak. Even so, Batman knows better than believe Bane trusted another random person to hold the nuclear detonator. Miranda shows up. She sits next to Batman. 

Miranda stabs Batman in his abdomen. Batman is shocked. He doesn't understand what is going on. Miranda explains her story that Bane is not the child who escaped the underground dungeon. It was her that made the impossible climb out of the pit. Bane is her guardian. He fought to save her in the pit. 

Marion shares that she wants revenge for Batman killing her father Ra's Al Ghul. She has the detonator. Bruce Wayne trusted that she would help to protect the renewable energy generator. Instead, Marion double crossed him with reprogramming the nuclear bomb to explode. 

Bane seems to reminisce about watching over Miranda as a child. Miranda is saddened that her father rejected him. She reveals that she has the nuclear detonator. 

Marion attempts to detonate the nuclear bomb. Gordon temporarily diffuses the nuclear bomb to buy time. The nuclear bomb does not explode. She leaves Batman with Bane.

Marion tells the driver to fire at the police officer fighting the mercenaries. In the gun fire, Foley is shot and killed. The street is in utter chaos. Police officers are fighting to protect Gotham.  

A second after Bane is about to smash a wounded Batman, Selina fires a missile from the Bat bike at Bane, sending him projecting through the wall. Bane is dead. Batman is shocked that Selina returned to help him. 

Selina and Batman go after Miranda and the nuclear weapon. Selina maneuvers the Bat bike like a pro. Batman flies the Bat plane over the truck. 

Miranda crashes into a middle ramp and falls on the lower level. Gordon pops open the back door in one piece. Batman and Selina opens the front door. Miranda reveals to Batman the main power source is about to remote detonate the nuclear bomb. There is nothing anyone can do to deactivate it. 

Miranda speaks of revenge. She then dies. Batman rushes to his Bat plane. He attaches the nuclear bomb to the back. Selina attempts to stop Batman. She tells him he had a chance to leave with her. It is not his fight. She kissed Batman.

Gordon informs Batman he is a hero. He indicates he has no clue of his identity. Batman replies back that any person can become a hero. He shares that even a man who puts a coat on a young child is a hero. 

Batman flies off with the nuclear bomb. Gordon repeats to himself Bruce Wayne. He now knows Batman's true identity. 

By this point in time, the Miranda revelation is one twist ending that surprises the audience. Batman flies through the high rise buildings. The nuke taps against a light post. Batman is careful to not detonate the nuclear bomb in the city, as everyone in its path will ignite into ash. 

The orphan children on the bridge watch an explosion. a split second later, Batman flies with the nuclear bomb flailing behind the Bat plane. The orphans cheer. Blake is in shock. He knows the expected outcome. 

The Bat plane flies further out to the ocean with bomb timer winding down. Batman ponders his sacrifice, knowing without a doubt that this is his moral duty to save Gotham City and its citizens. His has a dim look planted on his face.

Blake watches the Bat plane, and then the nuclear bomb explodes. The explosions sends a bright flash across the horizon. Batman is dead. Blake fights back his emotions, almost wanting to cry but he holds back. He tosses his detective badge into the river below. The orphans are speechless, knowing that Batman, their role model, is dead. We never expect Batman to die. 

The city celebrate the victory. Blake overhears the Wayne Board read Bruce Wayne's last will and testament. He gives Alfred a portion of his fortune. Bruce leaves his home to the city program to operate, which will serve the orphans.

Gordon honors Bruce Wayne as a hero and as a person. Alfred feels the helpless, as admits failing the Wayne  parents for not protecting Bruce. 

Gordon attempts to convince Blake to remain on the force. Blake no longer has it in his heart to fight crime. He tells Gordon that Gotham will never know who really saved them. Gordon responds that they do, it was the Bat-man. 

Fox learns that Bruce Wayne inspected the energy device 6 months prior. He does not underestimate Bruce's intelligence. Gotham unveils an honorary statue of Batman to pay their respect to a fallen hero. 

The surprise twist is not here. In you remember Alfred's dream, he stated that he wants Bruce to be happy. He has tea at a cafe. Alfred looks over to the distant table to find a younger Bruce happy. 

In the movie ending, Alfred has a cup of tea. He looks across the way, discovering that Bruce and Selina are having lunch. Alfred could not be any happier than this price moment. Batman is alive! Bruce is not dead!  

Bruce nods and grins at Alfred. Alfred's dream is answered. He didn't fail the Wayne parents. Blake swings through a water door. We recognize this door as the Bat Cave. Blake stands on a rising platform. 

The twist ending is that we assume Batman dies in the nuclear explosion. He survives in the Bat plane. Then, Miranda reveals to Batman she is on a revenge mission to avenge her father's death. She works 3-years to gain Bruce and Fox's trust. At the right moment, she swoops in to take control of the Wayne company.

Miranda is the young child that makes the jump out of the pit. We were tricked into believing Bane lived a life of pain to become strong. It is Miranda that is the mastermind to destroy Gotham City. We never think that Bruce Wayne will appear in the movie end, as Alfred shared his story wanting the same exact moment to happen. 

The surprise ending is Bruce surviving and ending his legacy as Batman. And now we watch Blake enter the Bat Cave. where a platform rises underneath him. This last moment is left open for explanation. Nolan usually ends a movie in such a way as to make the moviegoers think. Many discussions will surround how Batman survived and what role Blake will assume in the future. 

The Dark Knight Rises twist is that Bruce planned his demise to honor Alfred's wishes. According to Fox's discovery, Bruce already made changes 6 months prior. Maybe these plans kept the Bat plane protected enough to escape the initial blast. We never see him escape from the distant view. 

Bruce's will gave Alfred a piece of his fortune. He provided a safe haven for the orphans. In the final sequence, Bruce's grin conveyed to Alfred that I listen to my dearest friend to retire and enjoy my life. Bruce managed to leave on a good note that involved saving Gotham, honor Alfred's wishes, and to learn about Rachel's true feelings for Harvey Dent. At the cafe, we see him with Selina. Blake is assuming some major role. The Bat Cave platform rises from underneath him to movie end credits. 

The Dark Knight Rises twist ending is full of twists, surprises and turns. We are treated to a Miranda revelation. We think Batman is dead. In most of the film, we assume he refused to listen. In the movie ending, Bruce even honors Selina with surviving his sacrificial mission to leave with her.

Decent twist ending in The Dark Knight Rises. Some movie viewers may find the plot twist bad or hard to follow. We never see how Batman survives the nuclear explosion. Can the Bat plane flight far enough to dispose of the nuclear bomb?

In nuclear weapon tests before the Nuclear Ban Test Treaty in 1963, nuclear explosions on water would affect fishing crew ships hundreds of miles out. We did hear the orphan program director mention this is an atom bomb to Blake. We plan to discuss movie explanations at MovieExplanations.com. Thanks!   

The end!
