Oh, I did not feel it was pastede on at ALL! It was projected! They laid groundwork for it, but since it was a Batman movie with a too-big-to-die hero, I would have had no quibble with it even if they hadn't laid groundwork. But, yeah, everything with Alfred's speech about what he'd wanted for Bruce, not merely the speech but the scene that illustrated it, everything with Selina's development including Alfred's teasing matchmaking and her desire for a clean slate, the discussion of the autopilot, the theme of "anyone can be Batman"...no, it was perfect, it was projected. When the bomb went off I was kind of gleeful in my seat, going, "Let's see how he got himself out of that. This is gonna be good." I never expected him to be dead. And that they actually gave us a Bruce/Selina ending, delighting so many comic fans with a canon pairing ending! I enjoyed that so much.
