The "many plotholes" of this movie...really?

I mean, sure, a film has plotholes, every film has them, but many panned this film staying a lot of plotholes, but i've noticed many of this called "plotholes" are not actual plotholes. This was caused by lack of attention to the story, it's progression and development. One example is when Bruce comes out of the prison, and we seen him apparently the next day in Gotham already. Yet no one in the movie states that just one day has passed, actually i heard that weeks have passed instead. Others said Batamn couldn't possibly survive the explotion and that no explination of how he could survive is given. But only those who pay attention to the film know that Bruce fixed the autopilot of the Batplane months ago, as discovered by Fox scenes after Bruce's apparent sacrifice, then Batman could have jumped off the Batplane any time after he got really away from the city, at one point where no one in the city could see him. There's a lot of apparent plotholes that are fixed, but no one cares, it's like many simply hate this film just because it's not like The Dark Knight. In my opinion, this film is superior, and well, if it isn't, that doesn't mean it's an awful film, it's actually a great one by itself, and i think each of the three Nolan Batman films should be rated and taked as one of their kind isntead of films that depend on the success of the others.

there are plot holes in all the films, but they stood out so obviously in this film. The entire stock market scenario, for instance?

- technical issues, jumps between day and night
- the bikes, where did they come from?
- how could they have gotten away with it? why did they accept that wayne's stock did what it did when the exchange was taken under control by a hostile group and that it was the only action to have been taken during that time

The plot hole is not regarding the length of time it took Bruce to return to Gotham, but rather how he did it. Remember, he has no idea where he is (in another country, clearly), has no tech, money, or way of communication, and Gothan is in complete lockdown.

The explosion issue is (ignoring the autopilot function, which somehow bruce could fix even though fox and R and D couldn't fix it), is that we are shown bruce in the seat of the plane just before it explodes (and you have to love how everyone missed the fact that there will be fallout, and that the city technically should have been affected by the blast as it was still within its radius).

I didn't think the plotholes killed the movie, but I thought it made the film feel a little bit weak...especially by Christopher Nolan standards...but that's just me, and despite the problems, I still had fun watching it.

I think the problem with the movie was that it felt incomplete. Some things just passed by too quickly and it tries really hard to reach the heights set by the last two movies, and so much, in fast, that it focuses on that instead of aiding the story. That's my only issue with the movie. Still a great movie overall and very satisfying.

I think that it is the issues with this movie are more like a lack of explanation of what happened rather than actual plotholes. For example, I think that it would be interesting to find out just exactly how Bruce managed to get from India into Gotham without being detection. I was also a little annoyed at how Bane was ultimately killed off like an extra. He was built up so well and then they simply ended him abruptly.

Also, I'm curious as to why you like this one better than the Dark Knight. Although this one was a very good movie, it lacked the psychological intensity that the Dark Knight had.

There are plot problems but not necessarily holes in the story. For example, I didn't like the fact that the prison had no guards and a way to escape. I don't care what you say, that's a dumb plot device. Same with Talia waiting so long to blow up Gotham. There's no way she could have planned for Bruce to heal his back, escape the pit, and get back to Gotham just for her to reveal herself. So why wait to blow up the city? I would have been like: Holy crap, he's BACK? He means business then. Bye bye Gotham!

There's also characterization issues. I don't think the film needed Miranda Tate (Talia) or John Blake. Just too much. Catwoman is cool and I liked Bane but I think they could have chosen a much bigger actor to play him (Brock Lesnar would be have been awesome).

Talia was unaware of Bruce's comeback,and she waited until the day they set the bomb to go off. Also, psychologically, she will approach that Bruce is back to tell him all she wanted to say about him killing his father, and also it could be for proud, it many times stumbles into anyones plans and ambitions. The film needed Talia as there was Ra's Al Ghul in Begins, and John in order to have a some sort of Robin without and actual Robin, and so somewone could take the Crusader's cape after Bruce's time as Batman was over.
