The Dark Knight Rises

[SPOILER=Literally, spoiler. Don't open unless you've seen ALL of the movie.]For those of you that have seen it, which theory do you think reigns supreme as Nolan clearly left it open on whether or not Batman met his fate or lives on? He either fixed the auto-pilot and used it effectively by plummeting into the bay before the bomb reached the location of detonation and Alfred did indeed see him and his new life at Florence or it alludes back to when Alfred would talk about how he would always have this "dream" or "illusion" by seeing Bruce sitting there with a family and he liked to picture this because it made him happy and Alfred didn't in fact see a real Bruce but just a mere illusion to keep hope alive in Alfreds heart...

 Spoiler

They make it pretty clear that Bruce lived. Luscious' team even states that the auto pilot was fixed by Bruce himself when they examine what was left of the bat flyer. Not only that, but the directions left behind for Robyn, Alfred's encounter with him AND catwoman at the restaurant, everything points towards it. I'm going to assume that Bruce also used the "clean slate" program on himself along with catwoman to essentially make himself disappear off of every database on the planet, so that he can live a life of peace. Somewhat. The spotlight that Gordon used was also repaired, and not by Gordon himself based on his reaction when he saw it.

All in all, I think it was more rushed than the first two, and had a much weaker climax and ending to it. Was a bit slow going in the beginning, too. I still very thoroughly enjoyed it, though.
