I thought most of the 15 were extremely nit picky or didn't bother me at all as they were explained away by dialogue. You have to allow for some degree of fantasy in these films.

But it did hit what I think was my #1 problem with the film -- the depiction of of post-Bane Gotham. It just did not feel right at any time, and it took me out of the movie.

Well, that and the Batwing. Seriously, that thing was ridiculous.

I assume by that you mean rediculously awesome.

Seriously though, what's wrong with the Batwing?

Because unlike the Tumbler or the Bat-cycle, it clearly wouldn't work. The Tumbler is a tank, essentially. It could very easily exist, as could that motorcycle. The Batwing could not possibly exist. Well, it could, but it wouldn't fly. It felt more like a prop than his previous vehicles.

So you can accept one of the wheels of the Tumbler transforming into a motorcycle but you can't accept the Batwing in a movie that supposedly takes place eight years in the future?

I'm in on the post-Bane Gotham, the Bat, and JGL deducing by looking at Bruce Wayne smile that he is Batman, as issues I had with this film.

I just don't see how it's so outlandish as to detract from the film. It's supposed to be a novel design to limit recirculating problems that plague helicopters in urban areas.

I don't see how it shouldn't exist (other than the fact that it obviously doesn't)

If that sticks in your craw, I can't begin to imagine how long the list of problems you had with that fusion reactor.

It actually took me out of the movie because of how laughable the crap they were selling us was.

But I let it slide mostly

Yeah. The Tubmbler's just a frame. Remove the frame, and there's wheels underneath. I've got no problem with the radical concept of removing the frame from a vehicle.

The Batwing is essentially a helicopter designed completely unlike anything that has ever existed in the history of the world.

I know this is a minor distinction.

But the only real difference is that the rotors are under the craft.

Other than that, everything has been done in production craft.
