Poll Question:

WILL NOLAN KILL OFF BATMAN?

i hope yes and im so going to cry. tears will run

If he was gonna die, the film wouldn't be called rises

Nolan killing Batman would just be sooooo cool! Don't think it will happen though. I'd love to see batman die and stay dead...for good.

It's gonna be Superman, it's gotta be

Kill him and lets do a Batman Beyond.. Figure someway around Bruce Wayne mentoring him.

He is going to. It's only obvious.
I don't agree with it. Killing off Batman would be a stupid publicity stunt. Nolan's "jumping the shark".

WTF! why could not he just made ​​the story complete short and simple? Where Bruce is old and retired and instead of killing the character, that Whedon did with Coulson in The Avengers? It would be great to continue the story with a reboot perhaps a Batman Beyond movie.

Batman dies and Gotham takes over.

I think JGL will take over similar to the way Azrael did in the comics. I feel like Bruce will be injured to the point where he won't be able to go on as Batman, but will still live.

And of course the epic death scene if it does indeed exist.

If he does that, he is a Moron, and all his trilogy goes to shit. I really have high hopes but something like this would be disastrous. I love Batman, but every step of this movie seems like he is taking the wrong direction.

Reboot his ass!!!! As Sam Jackson would have said

Okay people stop batman can't dies

lol

Haven't u heard wat he says in the Trailer??

Catwoman: You don't owe these people any more! You've given them everything!

Batman: Not everything. Not yet.

The "everything" here, is the ultimate sacrifice.. Which is his death..!!

But it might just mean that he thinks he's going to die and doesn't care. Maybe he's about to take on Bane knowing that he won't make it back.

I think He just gets his back broken like in knightfall and JGL takes over for a part of the film,well hopefully..

ALFRED WILL DIE.

If he dies, then all this talk Bale has had to do about returning for a fourth film, when asked, makes no sense (unless it is a prequel or Batman is a ghost). But Warner Bros wouldn't let Batman die anyways, regardless of what Nolan may or may not want.

I also think it would be a massive mistake to replace Bruce Wayne with another charactor as Batman. Unless it is Dick Greyson, who hasn't been even touched upon (and no, not a gay joke there) in Nolan's franchise. To let some charactor we haven't seen before take over as Batman would be beyond stupid. Hopefully Nolan agrees.

Batman will not die. However Afred will. He will die at the hands of Bane and then we will see Batman do something he hasn't done, kill. Here the reason. Alfred says in the previews I have buried enough members of the Wayne family. Now it will look bad for Batman but once he see Bane kill the one person who has always been there. Then we will see Batman dismantle Bane starting with the mask first.

Technically, Batman is more important than any one man. The Knightfall saga of the mid 90's saw Jean Paul Valley take up the Mantle of the Bat following Bruce Wayne's being paralyzed. In fact, there are many things happening in this new film that are mirroring that saga.

1. Bane breaks all of the inmates out of Arkham Asylum.
2. Bane confronts the Batman in the Batcave.
3. It appears that Bane defeats the Batman, how else would he have torn his mask off of his face?
4. Bruce is seen hobbling around Wayne manor with a cane.
5. There is a TV spot out now which clearly shows the chin of someone other than Bruce wearing the cowl. Find it and pause it if you don't believe me.

The Dark Knight Rises could also be referring to a new Dark Knight Rising. Just saying.
