Re: Was I the only one shocked during the big reveal?
To me, the biggest twist of the film was the fact that the key to Bruce's rise was allowing fear back in. That's the core of the story and it flips his entire journey on its head while bringing it full circle.
Everything else, like Talia's true identity, Blake's real first name and Bruce surviving the blast are more like "cosmetic" twists. They're fun and they give the story some more color, but they're relatively easy to spot and better enjoyed on subsequent viewings when you can appreciate the nuance and deeper meanings of things.
