There would always be people who would risk their lives to watch a show.
In Manhattan, these people filmed Batman charging into the space portal with the nuclear missile.
Most of these were amateur videos taken on smartphones.
A few of them were HD videos by professional cameramen; it was precious footage taken by reporters who had been hiding inside buildings.
These cameramen shot Batman charging into the space portal before it immediately shut behind him.
So, everybody was sure that Batman was gone for good.
He had already followed the nuclear missile to the other side of the space portal, where countless Chitauri troops had been waiting for him.
When Iron Man Tony was interviewed, he directly told the reporter who said that Batman had died to get lost, and insisted that Batman would only be gone for a while.
But almost everybody believed that Batman's "departure" was real.
