  Lol...I always figured he knew. When I saw that scene I was like "wtf...he didn't know?" It took JGL like an hour to figure it out

  Batman has always put his faith in others to do good. Its pretty much what he is built on. To put his faith and trust in someone who has wronged him isnt at all out of the question.
  
  As for the scene that you said took 3 months, unless I am reading it wrong...he went to Selena Kyles place as Bruce Wayne, told him to meet Batman that night (not 3 months) and take him to Bane. When she betrayed him, she realized who he was. You could see on her face that she felt a ton of remorse, and had feelings for Wayne. She was a good guy from then on out...

  Good points.
  
  I'm not sure why some people are surprised he trusted her. I've always taken Batman to have a pretty good intuition as to who to trust (except for the League of Shadows), and he probably understood why she betrayed him. It wasn't like she betrayed him because she wanted to see him lose to Bane; she betrayed him because she was in a dire situation herself.
  
  When he returned, given the situation in which he had few allies, he had to take some chances. He probably knew that most reasonable individuals weren't going to enjoy total anarchy with criminals running the streets and holding the city hostage with a nuclear bomb. Thinking that she wasn't going to be of some help (at least to save herself) seems like the more unrealistic option.

  I thoroughly enjoyed the movie last night. We went to the IMAX up in Detroit, which made the experience better IMO.
  
  I'm not sure why people had so much trouble understanding Bane. The only reason I wouldn't was because of how thick his accent was; not because of the mask. I thought it was just below TDK. However, the ending seemed "too easy" if you know what I mean.
  
  
  
  I thought it was great how they did some flashbacks to tie everything together. Do you think Bruce somehow got his money back through all of the fraud shit? That's about all I'm going to say because everyone who has liked the movie/given it positive reviews shares my thoughts. Let's just leave it at that.

  I saw this movie this weekend as well. I thought it was amazing and did a great job tying the trilogy up. Wasn't quite as great as #2 but still one of the better movies out recently and definitely top of the line when it comes to the Super Hero genre.
  
  Bane wasn't too difficult to understand, but when he first spoke I was very amused to hear Sean Connery.
  
  And no, there is no way Bruce would have got his money back through all the fraud shit. To have a claim he would have to be alive, and as you can tell, besides the few let in on the secret, he is dead to the world. He and Selina Kyle (Catwoman) will be fine on their own though. So I wouldn't worry about them.
  
  I really don't have too much negative to say about it besides it was a tad predictable at times. But that isn't necessarily a flaw.

  Settle an arguement for me...
  
  If the story were to continue, I say Blake would've became Batman, a friend says Robin.
  
  I say Batman because Gordon was ecstatic when he found the new bat signal, movie ends with Blake on the platform that houses the batsuit, and Nolan follows the comic books in which Blake becomes the new Batman.
• bigkahuna

  I'm guessing you're right Blue. Although, I could see it being Robin or Nightwing (or w/e his name is). That way, there is an opening for Bruce Wayne to come back from the dead and save Gothem one last time (or something)

  I agree with you. Bruce also emphasized that anybody could become Batman when Gordon said Gotham should know who he is.
