Too many flaws with the plot, dialogue and direction. I believe poor word of mouth is a heavy factor. First movie in a while where i've seen so many people complain the critics were paid off. Also I doubt the shooting had an adverse affect on box office revenue outside of America.

Did you all just take that dreadful ending on the chin thinking it makes sense, or have consumer standards gone to complete shit within the space of a few months that people didn't bother to question half of the events in the film? I was ready to walk out after the stock exchange sequence, it was as if the film was written by a child whose knowledge of the world is founded on some late night crime films and a few sessions of Oliver Stone's Wallstreet. It was a miracle I survived the entirety of the film. Trick was to treat it as a comedy, clearly the rest of the theatre did, as there were so many forced moments that try to evoke applause or some sort of emotion from the audience, but the manner they did so was just plain laughable. Did the fact batman and bane swung at each other ever so slowly like individuals with a debilitating physical ailment, or the fact Batman's strategy was to purely overpower Bane, not raise any eyebrows? Did you all just sit there thinking this is amazing? I refuse to believe it. And yes I know what Knightfall is before anyone preaches about it. I could go on and on but I don't want to spoil anything.

tl;dr I really wouldn't use the shooting as a scapegoat for the film's underwhelming box office performance.

Plot was near perfection as far as relevence goes but if you didn't like it then thats your opinion and yours alone. Don't try to insinuate other peoples opinions just because you don't get/like the plot. There was nothing 'forced' about anything in that film except the score(music) which is ok because the music in it was awesome. Don't like it? Too bad.
