Best list of plot (ahem) contrivances so far: (taken from IMDB)
1. Bruce Wayne randomly sleeps with a mildly attractive woman he just met and turns over his entire company to her and gives her control of a nuclear reactor that he never trusted to anyone, not even fully to himself. Oh and she has a freaky scar branded on her back, but Bruce don't care. She must be trustworthy because she paid for all the food at the charity gala herself.
2. Despite being a cripple with serious medical problems, not limited to non-existent knee cartilage, Bruce Wayne is suddenly able to walk perfectly, rappel down a building to Gordon, and within days even fight hordes of villains. All due to his magic leg braces.
3. Later Bane breaks Wayne's spine and without any real medical attention Wayne recovers fully and is able to walk again and climb/jump like a monkey within a few short weeks to months. All due to push-ups and a guy punching his vertebrae back in place.
4. Bane has to go Bond villain and puts Bruce in an easily escapable situation, a pit that he has even seen a child escape from. He could have paid a few armed guards to stand at the top of the pit to kill anyone who actually makes it, but no. The laughably bad excuse of "your punishment must be more severe" is given.
5. Batman shows up to save Gordon and Robin at the exact moment they are both about to be executed and saves them. Of course this was after he spent hours putting up his flamin' bats all around the city bridges. He must have tracking devices on all his cop buddies so that he can save their butts in the nick of time.
6. As a nuclear bomb is about to go off, everyone stands around and listens to Talia's boring monologue. So boring apparently she even makes herself fall asleep listening to herself talk. And then Selina and Batman decide to make out for a few minutes while the bomb continues to tick.
7. A fusion bomb goes off within sight range of the city and no one is affected or dies. Not even Bruce Wayne. Apparently in Nolan's "gritty, realistic" universe 6 mile radius neutron bombs detonating over the ocean don't leave radiation or cause tsunamis, and helicopters can travel at the speed of sound.
8. Robin figures out that Bruce Wayne is Batman because Bruce Wayne is an angry orphan just like him. THAT'S HOW HE FIGURED IT OUT?!
Just ignore that Bruce Wayne is the only person who could afford Batman's vehicles and gadgets, he has an axe to grind against criminals of Gotham, he is constantly mysteriously disappearing, and even strongly supported Harvey Dent. He must be Batman because he has an angry orphan face.
Mind you, I don't necessarily feel strongly about each and every point but I would be interested in well-argued responses to the list.
Challenge accepted;
1. He decides to hand over the company to a person that was part of the project and convinces Bruce Wayne that she is some uber nice person who wants to help. Note/ investing in clean non profit power and hosting that fundraiser and paying for all the overheads herself, whilst normally people who throw these events don't waste their own money.- They made a big deal out of that in the dialogue. He sleeps with her after deciding to give her control. I thought it was unneccesary ..probably just to give her some more screen time, or Bruce wayne thought he finally found someone who was as dedicated to the cause as he is and rachel was?. also, Maybe that was why Bane was extra grumpy at batman.lol
2. magical leg brace. ermm..well he is a millionaire afterall that has access to all this cool comic book stuff
3. i am not an expert in back-breaking degree's, but maybe that move just slipped that vertebrate/disc (not a total back break), that needed to be put back in place. They did have doctors in the pit afterall...and the recovery was 4 months. Oh...and his BATMAN.
4. putting Batman in the pit... wasn;t that half the point of the league of shadows return. They wanted batman to suffer slowly, just like Gotham was suffering slowly. No grown man has ever escaped. Better then any prision I know? Alcatraz doesn't count, sean connery escaped that one. Bane threw a physically broken aging guy into a prison where even he could not escape from ...seems quite iron-clad to me
5. Yh the timing was convenient, Gordon and co get captured towards the end of the 5month time bomb and thats when Batman comes back. Didn't Bruce wayne get captured moments before to get to Morgan Freeman..maybe he found out then so could act. Gordon and co getting captured at that time may not be complete coincidence...they were growing desperate and taking more risks because they knew the 5month timer on the bomb was approaching.
6. it's a movie. if it makes people feel better Gordon could of put the transmitter blocker before Talia even started the monologue...but then it would just be boring
7. Not sure about this, but wasn't that one of those fission or fussion bomb's that doesn't have a dirty fallout. More heluim then uranuim. See chain reaction movie. The Batpod can almost outrun rockets whilst helicopters can't....so must be fairly fast.
8. in the case of Blake/Robin...his hero was Bruce wayne..because he helped his orphanage when he was a kid and was an orphan also. Then another hero comes along, the batman. He put 2 and 2 together. No1 else would have because to everyone else Bruce wayne was a spoilt playboy. 'apple has fallen far from the tree' batman begins quote. and joker suspecting Dent was the Batman
