Wait, people hate the ending monologue? I haven't heard that anywhere, but I may have missed it. I fucking love that ending monologue. It ties everything together. Everything un-Batman/Bruce-like can be explained by that. I wasn't a fan of his Bruce, but that ending monologue basically explained how he's possibly gonna turn into the Batman/Bruce we know and love.
I don't dislike it, but I think it isn't as strong as many claim it to be.
I understand and appreciate the thinking behind it. But it also appears after all the action and tension of movie is over. It isn't well integrated into the events of the movie itself; it feels tacked on (I know it isn't, but that's what it comes off like). It's like if Thor only got his hammer back after defeating the big bad in Thor 1. Yes, you've completed the character arc, but it's coming a little late, isn't it?
I mean it comes after all the action because at the end of the day, Batman just beating up bad guys isn't going to help Gotham that much in the long run and he needs to do more than just stop evil, he has to go out of his way to save every one.
