Is everyone enjoying Matt not commenting on the subject here? I am!

These other guys all grew up together. If there was a dispute it is Deemer's show and Mike is out. These other dudes are lifelong friends. When you hear about their time spent with each other outside the show his name doesn't come up (cons, parties, etc.). The idea that this was a friend getting rid of another friend is a stretch. I think these were just two guys who worked together and now they don't.

I was not friends with them as long as they had been with each other but we were friends. I had met many of them before I knew what podcasting was.

In HR matters, the terminated employee gets to know the reasons they were terminated.
One can view their employee file as well.
Terminating a friend? Not so much. I've never heard of terminated employees getting to review their personnel files. Interesting. I have always been told employees have no rights with regard to their own personnel files. I get complete access to employee personnel files (except anything medical) when I am conducting an investigation because they are the property of the company, not the employee. That's why I do not need the employee's permission to review and get copies of it.

Some of the things I have found in files would not be good for an employee to see.

So I got fired from a business?

I'm a huge bond fan! I'm looking forward to skyfall. You know they got the 'bad' one out of the way with quantum.

It is pretty obvious that Blake will be batman. Gotham needs a batman. Anyone can be batman. Batman is a symbol. This was all established in the first movie and beat to death in the following two.
Was no one listening? Sheesh!
Lol
Blake would know Bruce is alive because he will become a great detective. Bruce obviously feels safe enough to leave Blake the city and the cowl that he can score some Selina.
In essence, when you see Blake as anything other than batman you are destroying the symbol of batman.
Especially with all the bat,an imitators about. There is only one batman.

Mike, I had to create an account just to disagree with your comment. No, not anyone can be Batman. If that were the case any decent detective could slide into the Batcave, put on the suit and be Batman. It is the man inside the suit that makes the hero. Bruce Wayne, even in this incarnation, is a man who was born out of tragedy, a man who used his resources to spent a decade training, becoming more than just an ordinary man. The Bruce in this movie spent years with ninjas, and living in prisons to understand how the criminal mind works. Yes Batman is a symbol, but you expect me to buy that ANYONE can be everything that I just described? Is John Blake from what was shown in this movie? He's far from it. Is John Blake a hero? Hell yes! Can his character as shown in this movie be Batman? HELL NO! Not anymore than a young Jim Gordon could. Who, by the way would have killed him if he were a criminal in the hospital scene. To say that anyone can be Batman completely demotes his status as a hero.

Batman, as the movie states, is a symbol. Batman is an ideal. Something the city needs for redemption. Bruce passed batman on to Blake. Three movies of the story telling you this would happen.
Blake will need to train and learn to be batman. Bruce did also. In the nolanverse batman is a suit and a symbol that is used by a man for the greater good.
They say anyone in the movies.
Clearly Bruce feels otherwise, and chose Blake.
