1. Wheres The Woman I Left Behind Two Minutes Ago?
This is the biggie. The only plot hole in Rises that is really, truly unavoidable. When Bruce returns to Gotham, he hatches a plan with Selina Kyle. He fakes getting captured, meeting up with both Lucius Fox and Miranda Tate, before having Kyle spring him and Fox, leaving the latter behind. Once hes in full Batman gear and created his logo on the bridge, Bane muses that hell come for his one night stand. Bit odd given how he had the opportunity to free her and didn't, but oh well - keep going movie. Then, a moment after Banes confusing line, Batman asks Gordon, Wheres Miranda Tate? What? Bruce was with her a few hours ago and is now asking where she is. Why would Gordon, a man who left the court before Bruce arrived know? Please dont say Batmans trying to hide his identity with unnecessary misdirection because I dont buy it at all. Theres clearly a subplot of some form here that was mostly cut, but had to remain to some degree for bigger scenes to make sense; Marion Cotillard was in every take of the Fox escape, so she had to stay in or something technical like that. I noticed this on a repeat viewing of the film and every time I've watched it since it always jars. Now you can feel my pain.
