The Dark Knight Rises gave Bruce Wayne the storybook
While The
Dark Knight Rises gave Bruce
Wayne the storybook ending that Alfred Pennyworth always dreamed of, some fans
thought that the scenario was just too good to be true.
But,
Christian Bale himself confirmed that the film’s final scene was not a dream,
hoax, or hallucination. When Alfred sees Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle sitting in
a European cafe, it was the film's literal confirmation that Bruce Wayne had
survived his voyage out to sea in the film’s climax.
When asked about the scene at an Entertainment Weekly event, Bale responded that what
Alfred saw was indeed a reality.
“My
personal opinion is no, it was not a dream. That was for real, and [Bruce] was
just delighted that finally he had freed himself from the privilege, but
ultimately the burden, of being Bruce Wayne."
And
when asked if Alfred went over to join Bruce and Selina at their table, Bale
concluded that Alfred hadn’t.
“He
was just content with [Bruce] being alive, and left because that was
always the life that we wanted for him.”
Well, that’s one Christopher Nolan mystery fans can finally put to
rest. We wonder if Leonardo Dicaprio would be as forthcoming about the final
scene in his Chris Nolan film, Inception?
