(at around 44 mins) In the stock market scene, Bane's henchman that has the tablet that is downloading information is seen putting it in his bag. In the next shot he can be seen doing this again even though the tablet was already put in the bag.

(at around 1h 30 mins) As Blake runs into the hospital, he is seen to have a long shotgun with a wooden stock and a silver barrel. However, when he inside, he is seen to have a short black shotgun.

During the final street chase, the characters pass by the same Jos. A. Bank clothing store no less than three times.

(at around 2 mins) In the opening plane sequence, the main CIA operative fires a gun right by one of the prisoners' head out the plane door. His gun does not recoil from the shot, but a gun shot is heard. Later, we see him recock the hammer, an action that would have been unnecessary if the gun had actually been fired.

(at around 1h 23 mins) When Bane blows a hole into the reactor bunker multiple pieces of debris are bouncing off the henchmen.

(at around 1h 30 mins) In the football stadium when Bane grabs the microphone off the Official, it is the back judge who would not have a microphone - only the head referee would have a microphone. Further, it's not a regular microphone, it's a headset used for communications between coaches, and between the booth official(s) and field officials. Those systems aren't connected to the PA system, though it can be done if a need comes up. Obviously Bane wasn't coordinating with the PA control booth, he just picks up the headset and talks in to the mic part as if it were hooked in already.

The idea of converting a fusion reactor to a bomb is stupid. This is an inherent characteristic of such systems. Fusion can only be sustained under containment, and, any loss of containment would cause the plasma to cool co fast that fusion would cease in microseconds. As for turning the "core" into a portable bomb, this is even more implausible. Without external power, there could be no containment field, nor any fuel injection. The entire plot point is physically impossible, not merely "rubber science."

Gotham City is essentially a major urban area the size and population of at least Chicago. However, there were apparently no county, state or federal law enforcement agents anywhere in the city limits, nor are there any military or National Guard members there as well. The Gotham PD actually should been the LEAST of Bane's concerns as most major cities have hundreds, if not thousands of law enforcement and military elements in or near them. However, over the years and interpretations of Gotham City has shown that there really isn't a military or national guard base in the city. In various Batman comics and shows , it has been shown to have the government send the military or special optimizes in if military action is needed whenever a there is a threat big enough to warrant such actions.

(at around 2 mins) The soldiers assisting in the pickup of Dr. Pavel are elite Delta Force operators, as evidenced by the distinctive USASOC patch and Airborne tab worn on their uniform. However, they make numerous tactical mistakes when the plane comes under attack. When Bane's henchmen begin shooting through the plane windows, the supposedly highly trained soldiers are bewildered, and make no move to engage them or take cover, allowing themselves to be gunned down. Meanwhile, two others ignore the attack and instead physically assault the restrained henchmen. Additionally, when the plane is tilted to vertical, one of the soldiers who falls to the rear struggles for several seconds to unholster his weapon- something no soldier would do, let alone a highly trained Delta Force operator.

A Leonid Pavel cannot be an actual Russian full name. Both Leonid and Pavel are separate first names, and for a first name to become a last name, it needs a suffix "ov" or "in". A character was renamed Leonid Pavlov in the Russian film distribution to comply with the grammar.

(at around 1h 30 mins) When the bad guys are taking over Gotham, there are a number of bridges blown up. Some are suspension bridges that eventually have a small section of the center of the span blown away. A simple understanding of engineering would prove that stability is absolutely dependent upon the tension of the suspending ropes that stretch over the tops of the supporting towers. Yet, these bridges still seem to dangle out far beyond the towers with nothing to hold them up. With the cables cut, everything beyond the tower should have fallen immediately. However, the suspension ropes weren't knocked out. The cemented portion is blown apart making it impossible to use the bridge.

In Batman Begins (2005) Lucius Fox says about the Batsuit: "This sucker will stop a knife." In "The Dark Knight Rises", Batman gets stabbed. However, in The Dark Knight (2008), Fox gives Batman a new suit that makes him more agile but also "more vulnerable to knives and gunfire". If Batman kept his old suit, it's likely that the knife would've been less effective.

(at around 55 mins) When Batman and Selina are on the roof, Los Angeles landmarks are visible including the U.S. Bank Tower and One Wilshire. This is not an error, as many landmarks that are obviously from other cities (Manhattan island, Brooklyn Bridge, Heinz Field, Sears Tower, etc.) are present throughout the trilogy to keep ambiguous which city Gotham represents.

Throughout the movie, the Gotham City Police Department uniform and cars show GPD and GCPD inconsistently. It is not uncommon for police forces to change vehicle liveries and/or styles of their uniforms every once in a while. New vehicles would be added to their fleet and given the new livery - to change every other older vehicle in the fleet to the same new livery would not be cost-effective.

(at around 1h 45 mins) Midway through the movie, there is an aerial shot of a Tumbler (Batmobile) being slowly driven down a snow-covered street. The vehicle features a set of 4 rear wheels, yet only a single set of tire tracks are left in its path. This is due to the tread on the tires. The tracks are being left by the smoother, treaded front tires. Which can be seen picking up snow as the vehicle moves forward. The rear tires are not picking up snow because the tread is deeper, like that found on a more aggressive off road tire.

(at around 53 mins) One of Bane's mercenaries (on the far left of the rooftop fight scene with Catwoman and Batman right after it shows Daggett) falls down without being hit.

(at around 2h 10 mins) In the final fight sequence, when Bane sees Batman and starts his speech, two people fighting behind him clearly aren't connecting with the punches.

(at around 53 mins) When Selina is fighting the goons on the roof and Batman comes to help her, her shoes go from being high heels to flats (especially noticeable when she runs for the Bat) - despite clearly making a point of her shoes being heels in the prior scene with Daggett.

(at around 22 mins) During the shootout in the alley between the cops and terrorists after Selina meets Stryver in the bar, one of the SWAT team appears to already have a bullet hole in the back of his flak jacket exactly where the sniper shoots him moments later.

Many instances of Bane's henchman attacking one at a time and not reacting at all when being ambushed.

The police officers were trapped underground for months, yet they emerge clean-shaven and with short, neat haircuts and smart uniforms.

When his cellmate asks him why he's bothering to exercise to build himself back up, Wayne responds, "I'm not meant to die in here." Though Bruce Wayne is American, writer-director Christopher Nolan is British, and in writing the dialogue for this film, seemingly unknowingly, he used the UK term "meant to" rather than "supposed to" or "going to," which is the American vernacular. Americans do not use this term when expressing conviction, as Brits do.

(at around 2h 20 mins) When Blake tries to appeal to the officers guarding the bridge, he tells the kids to go back and wait on the bus. When he says "Just go back and wait," his lips are not moving.

(at around 1h 55 mins) When the prisoners in the pit shout 'rise', their lips don't move synchronized to the shout.

(at around 42 mins) When they take over the stock exchange, the bad guys enter the place shooting. It is noticeable that their machine guns are not shooting and yet we hear the noise and we see the ricochet of the bullets against the monitors in the ceiling.

(at around 37 mins) When Bruce gets up to leave from his meeting with Fox in Fox's office, Bruce says 'No' before his lips move.

(at around 2 mins) When on the plane the CIA Op, attempting to get information out of Bane's men, fires a handgun near the head of one of the men; however, the slide on the automatic does not move despite the sound of the gun firing, nor is a spent shell seen ejecting from the gun.

Camera reflected in glass doors outside stock exchange during the fight between cops and Bane's henchmen.

(at around 23 mins) Following the scene where Bane's sniper goes into the sewer and Commissioner Gordon gives chase, there is an explosion. The blast comes up through the manhole and the cop (on the left) clearly has flame retardant jelly covering his face.

(at around 1h 35 mins) When Bane is reading the letter written by Gordon, there is a light skin-tone colored microphone wire leading down the back of his neck. It continues to protrude repeatedly, especially when he turns his head to his left.

(at around 2h 20 mins) When Miranda leaves the bank, two men are reflected on the door on the right.

At around 50 minutes and 10 seconds, the camera lens reflection can be observed.

During the Stock market battle, the camera pans back and shows a banner hanging with NYC on it.

(at around 1h 16 mins) When Selina tries to leave Gotham, at the airport, an Easyjet plane can be seen. Easyjet is a British low-cost airline that only operates in Europe and not the United States.

(at around 1h 30 mins) During the stadium scene in Gotham City, at one point a logo reading "UPMC" (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) is clearly visible next to Bane's head.

(at around 15 mins) On the City of Gotham police report as seen by Bruce Wayne in the Batcave, the subheading lists Motor Vehicle Report: Los Angeles.

(at around 2h 10 mins) When the Gotham police force takes on Bane's recruited prisoners, a banner clearly marking "NYC" is visible in the background.

Unless the Bat had taken the bomb over the horizon, the blast effect would have impacted at least the coastal fringes of city, if not further inland. A blast large and close enough to be seen in the city would be large enough to cause extensive damage to that city.

A sewer system has THOUSANDS of drains, manholes and gratings across a major city. To believe that any collection of armed mercenaries could keep several thousand police officers underground in a sewer for months at a time is inconceivable.

When Batman flies out with the bomb at the end there is between 10 and 35 seconds on the timer (10 if you work forward from the street scene, 35 if you work back from the explosion) when he starts to accelerate away from Gotham. We were previously told that the bomb had a blast radius of six miles. There is no way he could cover the distance in that time. He would need an average speed in excess of 720MPH. In turn that would mean he would have to go supersonic, which he doesn't.

Mr. Fox says that the bomb is going to explode due to fuel cells deterioration and the bomb has a timer that counts down the time left to the moment when fuel cells deteriorate enough for bomb to explode. Fuel cells deterioration is impossible to predict precisely to a second. So, the timer countdown is for suspension and effect only.

Bane faked a crash of the aircraft transporting him. However, it would have been obvious for accident investigation teams, that the crash was caused by external forces, including drilling holes in a fuselage and tearing off a tail part.

(at around 1h 27 mins) Poly isobutylene is referred to as an explosive in the film but it is not explosive. Butyl rubber is used to make C4 more pliable and less prone to detonation.

(at around 15 mins) When Bruce Wayne was checking his computer in the bat cave for the first time, one of the articles about Selina Kyle spelled the word "Heist" wrong. It said "Hiest" instead.

(at around 1h 17 mins) Selina Kyle operates under the assumption that obtaining the "clean slate" device will erase her criminal record. Regardless of this, Selina fails to initially take into account that while the Clean Slate would theoretically erase her electronic criminal records, it will not erase Selina's overflowing binder of hard copy files the Gotham City police Department has amassed over the years, as presented to her by Blake at the airport.

(at around 34 mins) When Bruce Wayne is at the ball with Selina Kyle, he corrects her pronunciation of Ibiza to "Eye-beeth-a". Although it's pronounced that way by many English speakers, strictly it's pronounced "Ee-beeth-a".

(at around 16 mins) When Bruce Wayne checks his computer in the bat cave and looks at the files he has on Seline Kyle, there is an Incident Report by the Gotham Police Department. On the top, it says "Klye, Selina", instead of "Kyle, Selina".
