Reply to spoilers with more spoilers, text in white.

Bruce fixed the broken auto pilot on the Bat to send it out to sea, he wasn't near the bomb when it exploded. Hence Fox repetedly bringing it up through out the film. Though I agree, the movie really could have used another half hour at least. Bane deserved more time to tell his story, and the audience needed to see the growing failures of Gotham. I am sure I will grow to like it more upon second and third viewings. But considering expectation of this movie, I thought it was extremely well executed.

I think you misunderstood my complaint about seeing Bruce and Selina at the end. I wasn't concerned with how Bruce survived, but I was wondering why Bruce was hanging out with Selina at an open restaraunt when he was written off as dead. Bruce is a celebrity, so the paparazzi should've be all over him and remember, they gave Bruce a funeral. I believe nobody saw him return as Bruce except maybe a couple people (can't remember for sure). I might've forgotten some key parts of the movie about this, but as far as I know Gotham is concerned, Bruce was considered dead and seeing him in public seemed like a plot hole to me UNLESS Bruce was seen with Selina at a location other than Gotham.

He wasn't in Gotham. Remember Alfred explaining how he would go to Europe every year, to the same cafe and would hope to see Bruce with a woman, a wife at a table across from him. He never wanted him to come back to Gotham. That is where they were.

I saw it a second time Saturday and liked it much more. The sound was better (I think they turn the sound up in dine-in theaters...I've heard that anyway) which made it easier to understand not just Bane easier but other characters as well...many of my original problems with the film didn't bother me the second time around...still though, how quickly the citizens turned on themselves was a bit stupid...

I read several studies a few years ago that said if a real life doomsday scenario happened that society would hold for 24 hours. That is how long people would wait for the lights to come back and their cells to start working. Over the next 18 hours (I think thats the time frame) it would go from minor assaults and ignoring minor laws to full fledged anarchy. They said that if you are in a city (any size city)you'd better be long gone by the end of that 24 hours or you are already likely dead.

Plus if you release all the most dangerous criminals from prison while the doomsday scenario is playing out, and remove almost the entire police force at the same time, there is guaranteed to be chaos in the city.

Letting 1,000 violent offenders out is not a doomsday scenario. Not even remotely close. Nor is the threat of a bomb imo. Seriously, were the citizens of Gotham supposed to just ignore everything Gordon had done over the previous decade and take the word of some masked nutjob who may or may not be reading Gordon's actual words...after having blown up the football field? I didn't buy it. However, even if you did buy it, it was ludicrous to think that he and his small army had the whole island on lockdown. I mean, what, that one bridge was the military's only entryway? They couldn't access it via boat or air elsewhere on the island? Bane had eyes everywhere?

The entire police force somehow went underground within minutes? Yeah, because that's believable. What percentage of cops are even on shift at the same time? 50% at the most?
 
I think more development would have been nice and they could have released a part one and a part two...to make even crazier beaucoup bucks. In fact...spoilers in white>>>

part one could have ended right after or very soon after Bane broke his back...and part two trailers could be very, very short and hush hush...

Is it likely? Of course not. Is it possible? Absolutely. And you could say that same thing about almost any aspect of any movie in this series.

Some crazy scarred face clown robs all of the mob bosses, threatens and kills several, pays off a large portion of the police force, escapes jail, puts bombs on 2 boats- 1 full of currently incarcerated felons, tells each of them they will only survive if they blow the other boat up first, and nobody gets blown up...

Is it all possible? Sure. Is it likely? Probably a lot less likely than the cops going into the sewers to find the guy (and his gang) who just kidnapped and almost killed the police commissioner.

I kinda like that idea.

I don't agree.
