1. People in Gotham must not be very smart since no one found it odd that both Bruce Wayne and Batman have been MIA for 8 years. Then when Bruce returns to the public eye, so does Batman. Gordon of all people should have figured this our before anyone else.
Batman had been gone for 8 years. Bruce only 3 (told in the film). Plus if Blake becomes Batman then Gotham won't think that Bruce is Batman surely... also Bane was clearly targeting the rich and many saw Bruce in that hostage place so it could easily be released that Bruce was killed by Bane
2. Bruce is just okay with letting Blake know he is Batman. He never met the guy before .
Bruce saw a connection with this kid and could easily tell Blake was inspired by Batman however although very weak is a slightly valid point.
3. During the sewer fight how did Bane know where applied sciences was AFTER Fox said it was off the books?
Talia had ben working inside Wayne Enterprises for years plus she knew Bruce was Batman. She must have realised someone is supplying Bruce she's proabably been looking for such a place and eventually found it.
4. Bane is hard to understand in some places.
Jeez is this complaint still going around. Tune your ear and he's simple to understand. I couldn't understand him at first but now it's fine.
5. Useless characters example, Foley.
Valid point.
6. The lack of Gotham city residents pov during the 3 months of bring under the leagues control.
Valid point (the most so far).
7. The fact that there is only one riot during the whole 3 month lockdown.
Well they did have the threat of a bomb and were told Bane didn't have the trigger however I don't believe the city from TDK would hide in their houses the way they did so sorta valid point again.
Got it from Fox (Shown in script and is common sense especially as they'd just shown a Fox scene before. Strange omission). No more stupid than the Batpod coming from the tumbler.
9. His back being magically healed in 3 months.
Pretty stupid but nothing I can't buy.
10. The fact that he arrived in Gotham from the Middle East with no money and no way to contact anyone.
Valid point.
11. Poor pacing in the movie. Moves slow in the first act and skimps the 3 month Gotham city lockdown in the last act.
Valid point (though a matter of opinion)
12. Why does it take months for a bomb to blow up?
Because of Bane/Talia's plan (wanting Bruce to watch his city die) and because the bomb becomes unstable after being disconnected from the reactor "decay in a matter of months" I believe is the exact wording IN THE FILM.
13. A nearly 3 hour batman movie with only about 30 mins of Batman ( in costume) in it.
Actually it's about 10/13 minutes and perfectly fine by me. He was in it when he was needed.
14. A crappy finale battle with Bane.
I agree (though it looked amazing) however there are loads who say the final battle is breathtaking.
15. How did Bruce survive the bomb explosion with 5 seconds left?
Editing trick. Sorry but Nolan's been using these in his films since day 1.
I'm not saying all my answers are fact I'm just saying that with what we are given in the film and stuff we see in previous films these can easily be logically thought out.
