12 Movies That Cleverly Gave Away Their Twists Early

1. Alfred Won't Bury Batman - The Dark Knight Rises

The Twist

Despite his arc fittingly ending with him sacrificing himself over Gotham Bay to save the city, Bruce Wayne turns out not to be dead (somehow) and reveals himself to be alive to Alfred in Florence, where he lives with his girlfriend Selina Kyle. He wasn't exploded after all, HURRAY!

The Reveal

We should really have noticed this one in Alfred's emotional speech to Wayne dealing with his concerns for his safety. As the butler resigns in an attempt to get Wayne to get on with his life after Rachel Dawes' death, he says that he "will not bury" Bruce:

"I'll get this to Mr. Fox, but no more. I've sewn you up, I've set your bones, but I won't bury you. I've buried enough members of the Wayne family."

Obviously, he means that he won't stand by and watch his master drive himself into an early grave after he's already seen his parents killed, but Alfred unwittingly gives away the twist that Batman actually gets out alive in the end.
