One of the most well executed endings I have ever seen.
It really leaves something for everyone.
For viewers who want a happy ending, you won't get a better happily ever after ending then that cafe scene. But if you want a more edgy interpretation, it is arguable that old man Alfred was merely day dreaming at the cafe as a way of mourning/dealing with the loss of Bruce Wayne. You can really have your cake and eat it too!
Are you just choosing to ignore the fact that Bruce Wayne repaired the bat signal & left everything for Blake? There were a lot of things in the film that let us know that Bruce Wayne is in fact, alive.
This isn't Inception. Alfred was not 'day dreaming' - There is no mystery behind the ending. Bruce Wayne is alive. The end.
Everybody knows Cotillard is Talia, Talia died ... and she hammed it up on the way out.
For me with the fact he fixed the auto pilot he was able to get out and lived. If Nolan comes out and says that was a daydream this movie will go from good to suck in a heartbeat.

He won't, because it isn't. Batman ejected and survived the blast to go have coffee with Selina in Italy to ease the conscience of his dear friend and former butler.
It was a daydream.
It was a daydream.
I just remembered something. Didn't Bruce have his back broken? Was it really fixed by some random guy in the prison punching his vertebrae back in?
hooowwww..........
Not technically broken in the movie (unlike Knightfall). Just a dislocated vertebrae, I think.
The prison doctor popped the vertebrae back in place, and set him up for it to heal. Not sure if that's actually how it would work medically ... but it wasn't a broken back.

No. A chiropractor could reset the disk but rehab would take months (more likely years) for him to be walking normally and that's ignoring the high probability of permanent nerve damage from the dislocation.
Like I said ... I have no idea. Still wasn't a broken back.
Bruce's dislocated vertebrae and couple-month treatment was at least as realistic as Harvey Dent remaining functional with his face burned off.
