Love that line! Other moments that gives me chills:
- The prologue when Bane responds to his friend "Yes brother, the fire rises" and the drums kick in.
- Blake swinging into the batcave.
- Late in the movie when Batman is about to defeat Bane and he replies Bane's line from the pit: "and then you have my permission to die".
Come on Didio, do it DO IT!!!!! :D
They did it with Harley, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him in. And he is an excellent character.
Wait, what?
Glad you enjoyed the movie. Love it too!
No. He was robin during the whole movie and at the end he rises up to become the dark knight. That was the whole point of his name.
Just remember this is Nolan's Batman. Pick up a comic book today and it's still Bruce Wayne, and when the next Batman movie comes out it will also be Bruce Wayne (as a reboot, no longer Nolan's story)
I have absolutely no reason not to accept that. When Nolan says it is so.
He has said it so (Nolan's goodbye letters on this discussion somewhere), DC Comics have said so, WB has said so. What more do you need!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Dude, calm down. Don't shoot me for not knowing every single word anyone has said about Batman.
This is Nolan's letter you're talking about? I just read it, it doesn't say a word about this.
If you have any DC or WB statements on this matter, they are most welcome.
Someone needs to pay attention to the message of the trilogy. The whole point of being Batman is that anyone can take on the cape and cowl. As Bruce said in Batman Begins, as a symbol he is incorruptible, and everlasting. So Batman can go on forever, no matter who it is behind the cowl, because the symbol of everything Batman is will always have power.
Thanks for the assist, Obrady
Someone needs to understand that some people may interpret things differently than others. There's no need to be so absolute, trying to force your interpretation to others.
In my opinion, the message of the trilogy is that anyone can become a symbol to fight for justice. Not this specific symbol of Batman. If I remember correctly, in Begins Bruce chose the bat as a symbol for a reason. He was afraid of bats and chose them not only because they're terrifying, but also to embrace his own fear. That makes the Batman his symbol. Unless you think Blake wants to embrace Wayne's fear too. Which makes no sense.
As I said, I'm willing to accept Blake becoming Batman, if Nolan says it is so.
Until then, I'll stick to my theory.
Anyone CAN fight for justice, but never be their own symbol. The only symbol needed is the symbol of Batman, who has already struck fear into criminals and enlisted respect into Gotham's citizens and police with his bravery. In becoming a martyr he is in fact the legend that Ra's foresaw of him to be. In his death there is life, as anyone could pick up the cowl again and continue the fight, to give people the hope that only Batman can give. By being "Robin", Blake would be using a new symbol foreign to the people of Gotham. That is why Bruce gives him coordinates to the cave. With the suit and his utilities he can choose to continue the fight if ever Gotham needs Batman again, because Batman is everything he is needed to be, Gotham's savior. Why would Blake use another cape and cowl when he has one that holds so much power and importance for the people of Gotham? That isn't an enigmatic ending, it is plain to see why Bruce did what he did, without question, and what he has left Blake to do if he so chooses to.
That would be like Bruce Wayne being known as Bruce when he fights crime.
It was just a clever way of having
It's cool, you can put spoilers in this thread. I think he didn't use his real name much, everybody called him Blake through the whole film. I suppose it would seem suspicious if anybody knew his real name, I don't think that matters, it's just a film after all.
Saying that though, I think he went on to become Batman, mainly because of the Bat signal being repaired, which I never noticed when I saw the film for the first time.
Here- I made this. (it's a slow day at work :) )
Why can't they be the symbol of Batman? For all we know, they're orphans, angry, and want to save Gotham from evil as much as Bruce does. The only difference between them and Blake is that Bruce/Batman doesn't know them personally. So anyone can be Batman, as long as Bruce knows them? That doesn't make sense.
Bruce Wayne is Batman. As I said before, he has a reason for being Batman. His (and the trilogy's) point is that anyone can become a symbol, a hero. Not this one hero.
So, Bruce fixed the Batsignal. So what? Bruce may return. Why have we ruled that out? Because Alfred saw him in Florence, as he said he'd like to when Bruce retires? That's not proof he's retired permanently. He was out of the game for 8 years and came back when he had to. Why not do it again? Because the movie trailers said "The legend ends"? Please.
The only good point I've heard against my theory is: Why Robin John Blake wear a mask and call himself Robin? Fair enough. He may become Nightwing then. It makes even more sense and even fits to the "Blake was Robin in TDKR" theory. As you may know, Dick Grayson, the original Robin, became Nightwing in the comics.
Furthermore, I don't think Blake even has what it takes to become Batman. Bruce spent eight years training with Ra's Al Gul and The League Of Shadows. Blake will become Batman just like that? Very unlikely.
