"it also means losing someone that I have cared for since I first heard his cries echo through this house." This line always gets me every time

[michaelraniga]

What a powerful scene! "Maybe it's time we all stopped trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its stay". And people said TDKR didn't have drama...

[joewhitehead]

These 2 ain't Oscar winners for nothing

[russelconor]

1:25 1:36 Bruce looks broken, so tired, worn out. Bale was superb in this role. You can actually see held-back tears in his eyes, in this scene. Christian & Michael Caine had just great chemistry together, the best Bruce Wayne & Alfred ever.

[TerrenceAybar]

Came really close to crying in this scene. Michael Caine killed it here.

[WarhawkBeyond]

What i loved about Michael Caine's performance as Alfred, he was the warm gentle caring father figure who would always have your back no matter how tough things got but wasn't afraid to give Bruce Wayne a kick up the ass when he needed it and always gave him great advice and unbeliveable pep talks when the situation was called for. All the scenes with Alfred and Bruce in TDKR always pulled at your heart strings and were so emotionally powerful.

This shows how strong bruces' character is after losing rachel died, harvey lost his mind and went on a vengeance spree, but for batman even after knowing rachel died and somehow worse after learning the truth that she chose someone over him, he pulled himself back together.

[jibran]

Bale's acting is superb in this scene.

[ofenomeno]

I can almost imagine Alfred holding Bruce when he was born. It's really the most touching scene of the film to me. My eyes got so watery. Michael Caine really made me feel his pain. Bravo

[AudioInklined]

From a (surrogate) fathers pov, it makes sense why Alfred did what he did. He didn't want Rachels words to destroy Bruce, which they would have at that time. I think Alfred was always planning on telling Bruce about it someday, it just came quicker than he expected and he thought it was necessary to save Bruce.
Rachel was one of only two last link to his true self Bruce had. To the time when he was innocent and his parents were still alive. He saw her as his happy ending. Having had read that letter after her death would have probably ended in him sacrificing himself in some way or killing himself outright.
In this scene, you feel for Bruce, and you feel for Alfred who loves him as if he were his own son.
Totally all together heart breaking.
The fact that Bruce pulled himself back together after this showed Bruce and Batmans real, true character.

[annenna]

Surprised at the folks who think this was out of character or that Alfred was abandoning Bruce. Alfred is refusing to enable Bruce's self destructive behavior. There's a difference. (This is also very similar to when Alfred quit during the Knightquest story line from the 90s, so it's not without comic precedent either).

[monam]

No music, screaming, no cursing, but is totally brutal.

[Turtlemannnn]

Bruce has all the money in the world, but he's alone

[BarrelsPolesandJack]

Poor Bruce…he looks so dejected. :( You can almost FEEL his heart breaking.

[duckydae]

just like there's no Robin without batman and there's no Bruce Wayne without Alfred...

[BigNoseDog]

At 1:26, you can see Bruce almost about to cry. Great acting by Bale.

[roederlicous]

Alfred will and have always been the true hero. 

[lucashenriquegarcia]

A true masterpiece. The pain that Bruce Wayne carried in this last movie really needed a relief, that came in the Robin/Nightwing persona.

What an epic movie.
