Topic: Huge list of things that bug me about TDKR [SPOILERS]
There's no fridge logic here, only the things that I've noticed while watching the movie for the first time. I've skipped over some things that were mentioned in different threads. I blame insomnia for this...
Bruce's leg thing is retarded. Not only the 'lack of cartilage' explanation makes no sense but it also serves no purpose. To add insult to injury they fix it with a magic brace that allows him to kick holes in brick walls. He never uses that on Bane though.
Bruce lets Selina steal his mother's pearls just so we can have an excuse to see him in the Batcave. Those pearls aren't worth really that much anyway. I mean it's not like Bruce's parents died because of them and it set him on a path of becoming the ultimate ninja-vengeance-ass-kicking-machine or anything. I guess the pretty lady can keep them from now.
Selina escapes by doing a backflip from a window for no reason. Go realism!
(Before anyone starts shouting that this is a Batman movie let me clarify: if you're Batman; you get to do borderline impossible stuff. If you're a regular person; you don't get that privledge. Beauty isn't a superpower.)
After Bane shows up Alfred tells this creepy story of a mysterious prison that's so awful, dark and evil, filled with horrible things where terrible people get thrown in to rot. And sometimes, that darkness spits something out....and that's where Bane comes from. Cool. Except, they throw Bruce in there and it's the most evenly lit place on the planet. It's also filled with ugly but nice people that will give you food, medical attention, help you with your back excercises, hold the rope for you when you try to escape and even chant encouraging things to motivate you. The food sucks but other than that it's like going on a holiday.
Remember the leg brace? (oh yeah I'm not done with that). I'm guessing that when Bane's thugs stripped Bruce of his armor they didn't let him keep the magic kick enhancer he was wearing. Therefore, as someone with no cartilage in his legs he shouldn't be able to walk without that cane. Yet somehow 5 scenes later he's doing parkour on the walls of the prison. I guess if you can fix a dislocated vertebrae by punching it really hard you can also regrow some cartilage. The good doctor probably kicked him in the knee until it regenerated.
And while we're on the subject of the good doctor: Remember how Batman Begins was all about Bruce becoming the man with no fear so he can be the ultimate ninja warrior? Turns out that's all bullshit because Bruce must now become afraid in order to escape from the underground prison. Yeah, forget the secret ninja teachings. The blind morphine addict has it all figured out for you. I'm sure that fear is the key to making that scary jump that a child could make. Being a grown man that's twice as tall won't be of any help in this case. We all know that little kids have insane jumping abilities. That's why 8 year olds dominate in the Olympics all the time.
During the fight with Bane Batman kills the lights. Banetells him he was born in darknes, (I assume) referring to the story of a child born in the prison-holiday-resort I've mentioned earlier. Later we find out that the legendary child is Talia, not Bane. So Bane is either lying or his mother gave birth to him at night when the electric grid was down.
During that same fight when Bane is whooping Batman's ass at no point he decides to utilizee any of the useful gadgets in his utility belt. Having spikes, explosives, a grapnel gun, batarangs, and god knows what else at his disposal he decides to go for the 'instant darkness' machine. When that fails somehow he figures out that the best way to take out a guy in a breathing mask is to throw the 'puffy smoke maker' thingy at him. Are you kidding me?
Terrorists take over wall street. They take over a hundred people hostage. There's police everywhere. Bane uses Bruce Wayne's fingerprints to bankrupt his company. The next day the world decides those transactions were legit despite the whole hostage situation, the fact that Bruce was nowhere near that building at the time and noone has seen him.
As we know all unstable reactor cores evolve a giant LED clock that show the precise detonation time. It's a well known fact. That's why people in Chernobyl were so chill during the whole meltdown thing. "THE REACTOR IS COING CRIT.... oh wait, nevermind... the clock appeared... we still have 3 hours to go, I'm gonna grab a sandwich before we evac".
Bane goes out like a bitch. Batman feels betrayed by Selina because she stole his thunder. He then decides that the best way to make up for it is to use his flying Batwing to machinegun the fuck out of the truck driver and kill Talia in the process. Because you know, fuck the no gun/no killing rule.
Selina Kyle dresses up in leather to make her ass look nice. Her outfit serves no other purpose. Like every other elite thief she wears 10 inch heels for their revolutionary stealth capabilities. Also they make running and kung fu easier. Batman should invest in those. Also her mask doesn't work and we almost never see her with her goggles down because the filmmakers decided they didn't like the look. They cut around them as much as possible. She flicks the goggles down, shots the wall of cars to unblock the tunnel acces, we cut back and her goggles are already up. This happens throughout the whole movie.
Blake makes the connection between a playboy billionaire that sleeps with everything that moves, runs the biggest company on the planet and does crazy shit left and right and a superhero that beats people to near-death at night dressed as a bat. He figures that out because Bruce has a fake smile. As we all know: fake smile = Batman. (I'm practicing my fake smile RIGHT NOW)
Bane biulds a tunnel under Wayne Enterprises and steals Batman's tech. Maybe I've missed something but apart from Bruce and Fox noone knows that Applied Sciences even exist. Even in Batman Begins it was a tiny, dead end department and by TDK it's established that it's gone from the records. After the totally-not-shady-wall-street-terrorist-fingerprint-deal everything gets reposessed EXCEPT Applied Sciences because it does not exist and noone knows about it. Yet somehow Bane knows exactly where to find all the good stuff. He must've read the script. (Talia could't have known because she doesn't even know where the reactor is, and that's clearly IN the books).
Scarecrow is in this movie for no goddamn reason.
Batman 'defeats' Bane by punching his mask. That same tactic resulted in a broken spine 5 months earlier. Batman must've put his leg brace on his elbow that day.
Bane punches a hole in a concrete pillar. Hurray for realism.
Bruce teleports from the desert to Gotham, which is guarded by the army that makes sure noone gets in or out. Frankly, I don't even know how he got back to America. He's broke at that point. I'm pretty sure that makes air travel a bit difficult.
Batman outruns a nuke. (Although to be fair, if it wasn't for all that stuff above I would've let that slide.)
After 'sneaking' back into Gothem. Batman's first order of business is to paint a giant bat logo on the face of a building. I assume he does that with gasoline, making round trips up and down the building while being undetected in a city ruled by criminals. I would've thought that going after that nuke immediately would be pretty important too but no, arts and crafts always come first.
If you put 5 thousand policemen against a comparable group of criminals and give them firearms they won't shoot eachother. Instead they'll meet in an open space and settle their differences through hand-to-hand combat.
Apparently Bruce has been hitting the books during those last 8 years. In the previous two movies Lucius was supplying all of Batman's tech and was basically the brains of the operation. Even when Fox was explaining how he made the antidote for Scarecrow's fear gas Bruce was like 'huh? what? did that supposed to mean anything to me?'. In TDKR however he's reprogramming autopilots on unconventional, one of a kind, prototype flying machines. Good for you Bruce.

If you feel that I'm wrong about any of this please enlighten me. I'll gladly cross some stuff off that list if you convince me it makes sense
