so much of that movie didn't work for me. It is still a good superhero movie but of the Nolan trilogy it is vastly inferior to Begins and TDK

I think the worse offender is Batman Begins, because while the third movie is so full of contrivances and silliness that it's not really worth analyzing, the first one is actually pretty good except for the part where the device causes water to react violently but doesn't affect humans (who are mostly water).

Wouldn’t all trades that happen during that time be voided? Or at least wouldn’t it be clear that the critical trades Bruce Wayne made at that exact time it was being held hostage clearly show that it was Bane and his crews making them fraudulently?
Yup. Trades would be halted, they'd be investigated, and pretty much identified as invalid.
Not to mention there's no way that Bruce's entire wealth is sitting in stock for his company. Bezos, for example, keeps about $10 billion in cash.
Plus they come for his house; even if he had used his house to take out a loan (WHY WOULD HE DO THIS?) - they're not showing up in a couple of days to take his stuff (and would have no claim on the stuff in the house, that's not how estate auctions work either).
At the end of the day - Hollywood had to do a lot of crazy stuff to suddenly imply one of the world's wealthiest people is suddenly poor. Stuff that doesn't happen in the real world.

Even if they clarified and said "liquid water" - there's a good bit of that in people too.
Clearly this device was so advanced it new "water specifically in metal pipes"

It looks and feels and is shot like it’s grounded in reality, but it’s not grounded at all.

I agree with what you said but it’s also a really cool scene and it has this gem:

TDKR was a 100% completely and utterly retarded film I figured that out 30 minutes into the film watching in the theater I came on here that night to post exactly that but all the Nolan fan boys were already online creaming their pants and gurgling Nolan’s nutsack in celebration of the greatest movie ever made I said then, and I repeat now, this movie will go down as one of the stupidest Batman stories told on screen ever
Brilliantly written...it was awful on every level and the love of it was something I could never understand.

Batman recovered from a devastating back injury with pushups and pullups and was back to facing Gotham's biggest menace within days of being thrown in the worst jail known to man

Is it because the trilogy is so good that it’s held to a higher standard? (As compared to popcorn Marvel films made for children)

Not nearly as controversial as it initially appears

There is nothing realistic about the movies. The police, politicians, board room members, ninjas, crooks, ballerinas, they are all played straight but none of them act like human beings.

So Bane and his crew raid the New York stock exchange and make some trades under Bruce Wayne’s name and finger prints that cause him to go bankrupt and force him out of Wayne enterprises. Except they didn’t do this covertly. They literally take the entire place hostage then publicly bail in front of a massive crowd and law enforcement presence with hostages.
Can you prove Bruce Wayne wasn’t under the mask of one of those guys? He has no alibi for his whereabouts.

Idk it’s close
Batman Begins > The First Avenger
The Dark Night > Winter Soldier
TDKR <<< Civil War
But idk where they shake out if you ordered them top to bottom.
