I Finally Understand That The Dark Knight Rises" Ending Is Not A Happy One

:0:1

Summary

Despite ambiguity, The Dark Knight Rises' ending isn't happy, showing the price of Batman's curse.
The Batman curse affects those close to Bruce, leading to sacrifices and emotional turmoil.
A happy ending for Bruce and a sad one for John Blake foreshadows the continued cycle of Batman's curse.

The Dark Knight Rises’ ending continues to be a topic of debate among Batman fans and with good reason, but I now understand that, despite what it seems, it’s not a happy ending at all. Although more versions of Batman have arrived since the Dark Knight trilogy ended, Christopher Nolan’s take on the Caped Crusader remains one of the best and most beloved ones. Nolan’s darker and more realistic Batman and Gotham City set a standard not just for future Batman adaptations but for superhero movies in general, but I think it has been misunderstood for years.
The Dark Knight trilogy followed Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) from the well-known traumatic experience of the murder of his parents to his training with the League of Shadows and his encounter with some of the most notable villains from the comics. The closing chapter of the trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, has been endlessly discussed due to the ambiguity of its ending (is Alfred dreaming or is Bruce truly alive and well?), but I now finally understand that it’s not really a happy ending, but it’s still an interesting one.
