Is Bruce Wayne dead?

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2012)

I absolutely loved the movie. I am just unsure on whether or not Bruce Wayne is dead. Currently I am in belief that he is dead. I think this because the explosion from the bomb was too massive to escape. Also, Alfred told Batman how he always wished/imagined that he would see Bruce someday at a café on his holiday, and I believe the scene at the end was just Alfred imagining Bruce and Selena sitting at the table. Some may say that Alfred had never seen or knew about Bruce and Selena, and how could he imagine them two if he didn't even know that they were 'friends'. However, in the same scene that Alfred was telling Bruce about how he always wished/imagined he would see Bruce at the café, they were talking about how Selena was a very good thief, and Alfred said to Bruce, "you two should exchange notes over coffee". Now this could mean that he was in fact imagining it at the end, and Bruce Wayne was in fact killed in the explosion.
