12 Giant Plot Holes In Successful Films
5. The Dark Knight Rises - Bane's On A Plane
Christopher Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy revolutionised modern cinema, in that now we are treated to a Hollywood comic-adaptation every six-to-eight days.
Although Nolan mastered the non-linear narrative of the trilogy and presented the superhero genre with some much needed character development, the merits of The Dark Knight Rises are restrained by the barrage of plot holes thrust into the viewers face within the opening seconds.
The opening scene makes the CIA, led by Lord Baelish, look like a bunch of amateurs. Is this really how the CIA conducts its operations? The sequence of events that transpire on the plane suggest the agents' neglect to even check the faces of their prisoners before they blindfold them.
Even with the possible explanation that Bane had an informant or co-conspirator inside the CIA who consolidated this plan, the CIA still seem amateurish. These guys dont even have legitimate radars to detect a non-stealth aircraft coming not-so-subtly behind their own.
Bane proceeds to order a comrade to stay on board, to provide the aircraft investigators with a coherent explanation as to the planes crash - despite aeronautical investigatory analysis and technology having advanced enough to depict what actually transpired on board. Well, maybe Bane thought the CIA would have a hand in the investigation, and its very apparent how thorough they can be.
