Ending progresses to reveal that Blake's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) real name is actually Robin, while hinting that this character could continue the franchise's story.
Alfred's (Michael Caine) dream of seeing Bruce (Christian Bale) at his favorite restaurant in Florence comes true. An acknowledgment that Bruce actually survived the atomic explosion, thanks to an autopilot software he created. A fact that Fox (Morgan Freeman) only later discovers.
