5. A Phone Can Be Traced Without Sending A Text
Ever wondered why people on the run always turn off their phone, remove the battery and snap the SIM card? Well in the Nolan Bat-verse youre probably wasting your time; apparently you need to be using your phone to send a text otherwise it cant be found. Thats the logic thats at play at the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises, when Selina Kyle tricks Stryver into using the missing Congressmans (played by Chris Cooper lookalike Brett Cullen) phone, bringing all of the GCPD slamming down on that dive bar.
