The Dark Knight Rises What should the final scene of the trilogy be?

[Bat Manuel]

I don't mind as long as it involves one if not all of these three things:
Batman,
Gordon,
Bat-signal.

My list is similar except I would include Alfred and the Batcave.

 

[obin_gam]

Greatest gif on the net of inter right there

 

[Avengers-Report]

The final scene has to include Gordon and Batman. No matter what.

 

[Faramir]

Police Commissioner Sarah Essen turns on the Cat-signal. Catwoman jumps from a nearby room. The Commissioner instructs her to chase wanted criminals Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Before Catwoman leaps away, she says: "I never said thank you."

And that's how TDKR will finally appeal to all demographics.

 

[Naked Shia]

this is the end of a fan fiction I wrote back in 2009:


MIKE ENGEL SAYS ON TELEVISION THAT BATMAN SACRIFICED HIMSELF

TO SAVE CHILDREN. BANE IS IN JAIL, LIKE A FRIGHTENED CHILD.

THE MAD HATTER IS LOCKED IN ARKHAM ASYLUM. GORDON IS

STANDING IN FRONT OF HARVEY DENT'S GRAVE. HE DEPOSIT INTO

TWO WREATHS OF FLOWERS AND SAYS ALOUD "STAY IN PEACE. "

ALFRED AND DICK ARE IN THE BATCAVE. BRUCE IS STANDING IN

FRONT OF HIS PARENT'S GRAVE.



BRUCE

THIS TOWN NO LONGER NEEDS BATMAN.

BUT BRUCE WAYNE STILL CAN DO MUCH

TO HELP IT. AND DICK NEEDS ME. I

THINK I FINALLY HAVE MANAGED TO

EXTEND YOUR LEGACY. SEE YOU SOON.



HE BENDS DOWN AND BURIES THE MASK OF BATMAN NEXT TO THE

GRAVE. SUDDENLY THE BATMAN SIGNAL LIGHT THE SKY. SOMEONE

ADDED A QUESTION MARK IN THE MIDDLE.



THE END

 

[Naked Shia]

bear in mind I put Dick Grayson as a child in it, but there is no reference to Robin.

 

[blknrdcllctv]

The FX, the FX...what could they be? I was thinking maybe something along the lines of Inception. Gotham in complete (or near complete) ruins. Yes? No?

 

[spideyguy16]

I like all those last two endings

 

[Figs]

Finally somebody caught that! Thanks Figs! :-D

The fact that Robin's dumb ass crashed into the Bat-signal was enough to get me laughing and read on.

 

[Just_Human]

Batman, to Gordon :

" Thank you "

 

[I'm Not a Hero]

I hope it's both batman and catwoman living together in their newly bought suburban home

 

[Naked Shia]

I like all those last two endings

I don't know if you're talking about mine, but if you are, thank you very much

 

[AnneFan]

I like all those last two endings

We could get a few 'final scenes', if you know what I mean. Montages, sort of how Return of the King faded out, and faded in a few times. It would've been raised, but we could have one with Batman walking through Arkham (delivering Bane?), giving us villain cameos - Scarecrow in full garb, Falcone still tripping out, Zsasz with his body covered in tallies. And with the Joker, re-used Ledger laughter coming from behind the door.

 

[Batman jr.]

I have a strange feeling that Batman will cease to exist at the end.

Nolan won't kill him, but...

I don't know, it's just that I've become pretty familiar with this director...

 

[Faramir]

^ Tell him I said hi.

 

[Pagan]

I had a dream about the beginning of the film last night. (yeah I'm weird)
it started in Paris,France and it was a lot like the opening scene of Begins with two kids playing only it was Talia and the boy who would become Bane not Bruce and Rachel.

 

[Batman jr.]

^ Tell him I said hi.

t:

You understand my point ey

 

[helloiamben]

After Bane is apprehended, killed or whatever it's revealed that during Gotham's destruction (or whatever has happened) that the Joker escaped Arkham.

Cut to this,

0:20 - 0:32 (disregard the Penthouse/Rachel/Batman bits)

[YT]QghzJRDLzbo[/YT]


Basically set the scene up as The Joker and a few henchmen back in Gotham. Change some dialogue around a bit (make the thug say something else).

Main idea here is, any unused footage or dialogue you have of the Joker that would make sense to use, USE.

Then, to tie everything up, you gotta have a final interaction between Gordon and Batman. Something reminiscent of Begins and TDK, but still different enough. A member suggested Batman saying "thank you" to Gordon and if Gordon does indeed inspire Bruce to get his Batman mojo back ("we were in this together, the Batman must come back, he must") I think that would be great.

These two scenes would establish three things, by the end of the film Bruce finds that he needs both the charity, philanthropy side of "Bruce Wayne", the side his father would be "proud of" and also, the Batman persona. The silent guardian, the avenger of the night that fights the criminal element of Gotham City. It would also play with the Rachel/Selina aspect of Bruce's personality. Rachel/Catwoman, Bruce/Batman, Ying/Yang. The second thing it would establish is the relationship between Gordon and Batman, the unrelenting heroes and defenders of Gotham city. The third and final establishment would be that Batman has transcended from the character that we saw in Batman Begins, a whole character arc. This Batman understands what it is to be Batman (he's gotten wise to it all) and that he will need to do this for the rest of his life (especially now with the Joker element back into the picture and the fact that Gotham will always be a target by future enemies).

Have a couple of iconic, epic lines from either of the two that makes sense for the title of the film (Batman's rise to character) then cut to,




THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

it's an interesting idea.

 

[MrsJimGordon]

LOVE the idea of Batman thanking Gordon at the end. I'm 100% in the camp of wanting it to end with Gordon and Batman. Gary Oldman is the only actor who has been told the ending, or so I've read, so I really think it will.

 

[ih8nyy]

Batman, to Gordon :

" Thank you "

Batman: "I never said Thank you."
Gordon: "And you'll never have too."

 

[DoomsdayApex]

And here I thought the video of Batman shopping was the highlight of the week.

 

[Pontillo]

Final Scene: Batman tracks down the homeless guy he gave his coat to in Batman Begins and takes his coat back but not after some hilarious dialogue.

 

[Darkness Falls]

that poochie reference made my day

 

[Polaris23]

I'm a bit lost, where did this talk on an FX ending come from? Source? Thanks!
