4. The Gaping Plotholes
Plot-wise, The Dark Knight Rises is leakier than a sieve. Fanboys have done their best to try and patch it up with increasingly far-fetched explanations, but the fact is their efforts have been entirely wasted, in a life that's already cruelly limited. Because no-one can ever really explain how Bruce Wayne flew home from the desert with no money or passport, re-entered an occupied Gotham unnoticed and reacquired his Bat-things minus any hassle from a town dominated by ruthless militants, without the answer being "lazy writing." The same could be said for the moment an old man un-paralyses Bruce Wayne by punching him in the hunch. Or the fact that Miranda Tate got to such a level of authority within Wayne Enterprises without her true identity ever being discovered. Or how all those cops survived down in that sewer for so long, then re-emerged months later looking as fresh as when they hastily jackbooted in there. Or why every single one of Gotham's cops were sent down there in the first place, leaving the city unprotected from masked lunatics, who already have a predilection for blowing Gotham up. Or how, oh you get the point.
