.
That can easily be the end of the story. The Dark Knight was the fall. He's been blamed and being hunted for things he didn't do.
The rise implies him gaining vindication and rising to his mantle as the hero we know. That doesn't really mean a new beginning. In a way, yes. All stories have an aftermath. But a story can end there. Easily. In fact it makes the most sense that the story ends there, unless he retires or dies. Either way he can and will rise from where he was at the close of TDK.

Seems like a decent title to me, but could have been tweaked a little more.

Maybe something like 'Dark Knight Rising' or something.

I dunno. Still looking forward to it. Wonder who the villain will be now though, because if this is truly the end it has to be good and I swear to god they better not recast joker or something.

Nolan confirmed sometime ago he wouldn't.

I did say in the latter part of my last reply that the title does indeed work for that reason, but it can also suggest there is more to come in a way.

So yes, it works, it makes sense, but is it a good title? I still don't think so.

...It just looks and sounds more pleasing with the use of 'Batman' being in the first and final title of their respective films. That's my opinion.



Other quick title ideas:

Dark Nights End (play on words/meaning of Knight/Night to suggest 'the bad days' are coming to an end - the Knight's rise through the Night)

Dawn of The Dark/Dawn of The Dark Knight

The Caped Crusader is actually a good one also.
