Hey, it's Bruce Wayne in absolutely no disguise! But surely it's not him, he's in France! And alive!

Bruce and Alfred had a conversation about it earlier in the movie.  Alfred talked about  how after Bruce went missing, he would go on vacation to France and go to the same cafe and wish that he would see Bruce, and they wouldn't talk, but Alfred would know that Bruce was alive and happy, and blah blah blah.  This is why you gotta listen to all the dialogue, not just the action-y bits, or you miss the callbacks to earlier scenes.  It wasn't a great ending, but it was better than, for example, the average ending of a Stephen King book.  God I hate his endings sometimes.

Oh, I know that's why Bruce went there, but it doesn't explain why that wouldn't ruin the whole "he's dead" thing.

Yeah, I didn't miss that either, just because they alluded to that point doesn't make it okay.

Survives nuclear blast, okay, they got the auto-pilot working (apparently, somehow) and he jumped out. However, no one noticed that the billionaire playboy is walking around even though everyone suspected he died? He was on magazines!

If you need an explanation that badly, imagine that he has this conversation off-camera:

"You know, you look a lot like that guy on the news who died."
"The rich guy? Yeah, I get that a lot."

Besides, the first one established that people outside of Gotham don't recognize him when he did the disappearing thing and wandered the world getting arrested.

Glossing over all the other plot holes in the movie (I liked the movie, just pointing that out... wasn't as good as its predecessors though), in the ending he still survived an unsurvivable situation - the wound, the explosion, the fall, the swim back, the freezing water temperatures - people should have ascertained that Bruce Wayne was Batman at that point and a globally recognized face wasn't recognized.

The ending reminds me of the ending to Dexter. It makes no sense that they're alive and it would have been better if he stayed dead.

That's why I only said it was a theory.

More than likely, with that last scene with Lucius and the Autopilot, he bailed (pun intended) and let it fly off on it's own once he was out of view.

Hostility to fur coats but not leather jackets, like hostility to fox-hunting but not angling, is more about class warfare, I think, than animal welfare.
Though I've never understood fox hunting's appeal, at least in the British style that's usually meant.  The 'hunters' don't actually do anything but ride their horses through the woods real fast, following a bunch of barking dogs, who do the actual hunting under the direction of an employee.  I just don't see the point in involving the fox; surely one could just get a bunch of friends together and ride horses fast through the woods?  You could even still follow a pack of dogs, who will be happy to charge off through the woods barking their heads off, I'm quite certain.

So here's a thought, why do we call people homophobes? If someone hates someone else it's usually an ism and they're called an ist, like racist, sexist, etc. Is it just the way that it sounds because gayist (or whathaveyou) sounds silly?

I just realized that when I typed gayist, it's like gayest. Calling homophobes "gayist" would be so much irony I'd choke on my laughter.

I digress, is it because hate and fear are similar? Because I guess we also use words like xenophobes and islamophobes.

Gay is used to describe a sexuality, and if you want to put -ist after something it's usually after the more general term. Calling a homophobe 'gayist' is like calling a KKK member 'blackist'. If we wanted an -ism for gay it'd have to be sexualityist or orientationist, but the latter sounds more like someone you'd ask along on a hiking trip. Xenophobia would become otherist. Islam is the name of a religion, not exactly a category, so that doesn't work either. The -ist in islamist is a whole different -ist, the one that's also in arsonist.

The immediate exception that springs to mind is misogynist/misandrist but those have the mis- prefixes. So maybe an islamophobe could be called a misislamist.

*blink* -ist has nothing to do with hate. An <something>-ist is someone who takes <something> to its extremes as a dogma. Consider Communist (someone who thinks everything should be communal), fundamentalist, Islamist (someone who takes Islam to extremes), misandrist (someone who is really into misandry).

In the case of Islamophobia, there is also a whole lot of irrational fear involved.  For instance, there are people who genuinely believe that Europe is on the verge of becoming a theocratic Islamic Caliphate, and are terrified of it.  Similarly, some folks in the States bleat about the danger of ISIS invading the U.S. via the Mexican border, and appear to actually fear that such a thing might happen.  This is clearly ludicrous, and being afraid of such a thing happening is wholly irrational.

That sounds incredibly dangerous. (Especially if you decide to be all of those things simultaneously!)  :-P



For an alternative to homophobe.....I present to you......heterosexualist. One who is aggressively pro-heterosexuality. Which seems fitting, considering that most people to cling to that mindset are also opposed to women's reproductive rights, thus enforcing the very serious business of being a procreating heterosexual.

Could be weirder. Could be a tinder ad for 9/11 truthers.

Yeah, I'd watch that.

So I learned recently that when I use :roll: it comes off as being sarcastic instead of being mildly amused at the post above (hence, the smile and the looking upward). Kind of a bummer, since it seemed such a useful emoticon but now I can't use it anymore.

Yeah, I know, but it doesn't look sarcastic, it looks amused to me! Bah, I'm just telling people why I used it and why I'm not going to anymore.

Also...lopsided?
