Why did Nolan.....Spoiler


show Christian Bale at the restaurant table at end of the film? I don't think the film needed it - just Cane's nod and smile would have sufficed- it insults audience intelligence.

My preference would have been for Michael Cane to look up only and then leave the rest for our interpretation.

I think Bale was only in because Nolan wanted to show he'd made a new life with Hathaway.

To confirm to the audience that Bruce actually did complete his journey which was to be able to leave Batman behind when the people of Gotham had been inspired to take back their city from the criminals and the corrupt.

Basically.

No it doesn't.

Nothing wrong with that scene, otherwise we'd have endless debates here if Batman was dead or not. He's not dead. He's living a life somewhere else with Catwoman, selfishly I might add, while Gotham City recovers from the worst terrorist attacks in its history.

The whole film insults the audience's intelligence.

An opinion is not offensive just because you do not agree with it.

Once they show the scene where Fox finds out the autopilot was fixed months ago, then they had to show what Bruce did afterwards: he went to start a new life with Catwoman somewhere in retirement
