Just for the record, 6 mile radius is actually pretty small for a vehicle, flying too. We arent really sure on how fast the bat could travel at maximum speed... but what ever it was if it was close to any current type jet engine 6 mile is a few seconds, 2 minutes is a very damn far away.
Also for reference a blast radius is not the power of an explosion. It simply how far the shock wave will travel before having no more power and stopping. 6 mile radius is not very big for a radius, the radius of chernobyl was 18 miles. The epicenter of the blast would have been devastation to Gotham(the radiation being the biggest threat), but not enough to cause a tsnunami of considerable size, water is a terrible energy conductor.
Also the radiation coming from a nuclear blast in ocean is really not as devastating as on land. Its effect in rain and transportation is limited to the ocean movements. Its not a green fog that goes everywhere like in movies, its actually particles. The effect would have been there, but more along the line of how chernobyl affected the west of europe. Still some effect, but nothing close to the effect on the epicenter or the very close cities.
Also for another reference fusion explosion (like TDKR one, is simular to chernobyl.) does not cause material damage as extended as you could guess. Most of the structure it hits will still be standing, (ei no theory about crack in ocean floor). Added to that ocean floor is deep in water, water transfer energy very poorly, a blast of 6 miles in air wouldnt even reach 500 feet under water, hell even less then that.
While movie not often follow logic, lets not over imagine fusion explosion to be more then they are in real life either.
