There were a few unanswered questions left by The Dark Knight Rises, but the most important one was how Batman got away at the very end of the movie. Here are some possible solutions. Batman has never died in any of Christopher Nolan’s previous live-action films before the Dark Knight. Did Batman die in The Dark Knight Rises, and did Nolan break this trend? Fans were led to believe briefly in The Dark Knight Rises that Batman sacrificed himself to save Gotham when Bruce Wayne flew off on the Bat with a bomb meant for Gotham. However, this fan theory was false when it was revealed that Bruce Wayne was alive and well and living in Europe with Selina. Since Batman was never seen leaving the aircraft, audiences have wondered how he could still be alive. It was mentioned earlier in the movie that the Bat’s autopilot was not working.
How Batman Survived The Bomb In Dark Knight Rises??
Many fans disagree about whether Batman dies in The Dark Knight Rises, even though Bruce Wayne is shown alive and well in Paris at the end. The Dark Knight Rises’ conclusion reveals that Bruce Wayne escaped Talia’s bomb. This makes it workable for Batman to set the aeroplane to autopilot and discharge securely before the blast. The trick here is that Nolan uses non-linear shots to trick the audience into thinking Batman still needs to complete it to the end of The Dark Knight Rises. He leaves one last surprise for the movie’s final shot. If Bruce can live, he can escape Batman’s shadow and lead his own life without being held accountable by the vigilante for saving Gotham City.
In 1952’s Batman #72, Batman poisons himself, is legally declared dead, and then comes back to life, allowing him to enter the Death-Cheaters Club as Bruce to find a murderer. In the comics, Bruce Wayne has been electrocuted twice, and the writers have used magic or science to bring him back. Bruce’s final fate was the perfect tribute to Batman’s numerous “deaths” throughout the history of DC Comics.
