What constitutes a good ending for a story?

Whether it's for a TV series, video game, movie, book, any sort of story. And what stories do you think had good endings? Post spoilers if you're going to talk about the ending. I'll start. I think Batman Begins had a great ending. [spoiler]If you forgot, Batman and Gordon are talking and the Commissioner gives Batman the joker card, telling him that his work isn't over.[/spoiler] Conversely, what makes a bad ending? Besides Mass Effect 3, what stories do you think had bad endings? For this, I'm saying the Eragon books and Fallout 3's non DLC ending.

  • A good ending closes all story arcs and finishes with all questions potentially asked earlier on answered. It sounds too simple, but you'd be surprised by how many stories don't have this.
