ORIGINAL: Rgirvan44 The question about the bikes is a good one - wondered that myself. I suppose the magic of cinema is how they managed to get them through the building. I suppose they could be smuggled through the backdoor. Again not that big an issue. It was a fun sequence in of itself. Is it really that big a deal? We see that the LoS have infiltrated everywhere (Project Mayhem style!) so having a few bikes in the basement (or whatever) is pretty small beer by their standards. Be a lot easier to smuggle a few dirt bikes into the basement of the Gotham Stock Exchange than it would be to "sneak" hundreds of oil drums onto those ferries (and presumably a hospital) in The Dark Knight. Just sayin', like. Like I did in my glowing-yet-curiously-not-uncritical reviews. Fact is, movies like this seldom ever make any sense. If you're unwilling to suspend your disbelief, that is. Cos if you're prepared to swallow a guy dressed up as a bat (and precious few people ever noticing he's one of The Richest, Most Powerful and, therefore, one of The Most Famous Men In The World!) everything else really is just pointless nitpicking. So there. Hmm, in a panic emergency evacuations situation, would "searching below decks for oil drums" really be a priority ? And remember, in Batman Begins we see a more "realistic" Bruce in a ski mask and Kevlar. It's pish. Dressing up as a Bat is a reasonable and not excessively implausible implementation of "weaponized fear" The fact that even the most hardened criminal, used to dealing with cops, rival gangs will have a terrified WTF? response to a dude in a Batsuit is kinda the point. Look also how Batman took down the SWAT team in Dark Knight. They ain't trained to deal wit' no Batman! Tell you what. Pop down to Ardrossan and try to smuggle one oil drum onto a ferry and see how far you get. Alternately, you could try doing the same at The Royal Infirmary, if that's handier for you. You could even kill two birds with the one stone by attempting these feats while dressed up as a bat and I'll watch out for you on the news tonight! quote:
Hey Chris, it struck me that me and you are like Batman and Catwoman, heroically fighting against the baddies and haterz!  And like The Batman, I often get blown out of the sky for my trouble. Or do I...? (Hang on a sec! Just who's supposed to be who in this little scenario, exactly...?) I'm Batman, you're Catwoman! don't worry, I have no intention of giving you a pearl necklace  In fairness, when we see Batman in daytime in the Nolan movies, it's only at the point where he has to fight during the day, and when he's a folk hero (thereby making up for the supposedly ludicrousness of the batoutfit)
