re: Spinoff: major plot holes in movies you've noticed

The Joker was either a precog, or there are tons and tons of plot holes in his planning. Let me list them:
1) How did he know the exact time that the buses were coming by, and why didn't the bus behind him call the cops immediately instead of ignoring him.
2) How did the Joker know exactly how long the mayor's eulogy would go on for in order to set the timer to allow them the opportunity to kill the mayor?
3) How did the Joker know which street that the helicopter would go down and exactly how low the helicopter would be flying so that they could shoot it down? Seems awfully lucky he was passing down that street at that exact same height. Did the Joker just happen to have hundreds of people waiting on top of buildings in a 15 block radius just in case the helicopter happened to show?
4) When the Joker planted the bomb on his subordinate, how did he know he wouldn't be right next to the guy or if he was far enough away that he wouldn't blow himself up as well?
5) How did the Joker get hundreds of gallons of fuel and explosives into a hospital within 6 hours? I don't think he could have planned that Harvey would have survived with burns and done this days in advance. And even if he did, how does someone in a hospital not run into the explosives in that time?
6) Same for the boat, but I think they could hide that a lot easier than they could in a hospital.
Everyone always mentions the fact that the Joker is still upstairs when Batman is falling to the ground as the plot hole, but it's feasible Joker just immediately leaves then. Those are the bigger plot holes in my mind.

And the authorities didn't think to look after he'd blown half of Gotham up and the boats were basically his idea.

Speaking of holes in The Dark Knight, the accountant never actually fingers Bruce Wayne as Batman. Morgan Freeman does that unintentionally.

The Dark Knight is one of my all time favorite movies. That said, while I don't agree with all of this, I can probably elaborate on some things.
I have to agree about 2 and 3. To expand on 4, I'm still not sure how it was such a clean escape. The bomb took out everyone around him but left him unharmed. It also gave him enough time to go get Lau and escape easily. Unless I'm missing something, this seems pretty miraculous.
I don't have a huge issue with 1, 5, or 6. Why couldn't he have planted bombs in the hospital earlier?
I would also throw in the whole sequence with Harvey and Rachel. How did the Joker time things so perfectly that Batman would be able to save one person but the police would not be able to save the other? That's not exactly a big window of time. Hell, how did he know Batman would be the one interrogating him?
