I'll agree that two face was taken out a bit to quick, but I think the point of keeping Joker alive was to have him for the next movie (not gonna work out unfortunately unless they go with a different actor).

As far as the two falls go, I swear I heard Batman activate something (his wing thing maybe?) during his fall with Rachel that at least slowed them down. That's why he was able to get under her and provide some cushion when they hit. Otherwise I'd agree with you.

Sorry but when I watched it again, I watched and listened intently to that scene and he does nothing, so... still ridiculous

His cape flares out just before they hit. I'm not sure if that's enough to slow them down or not. He's also wearing the new suit, so that may have helped a bit. I'm willing to suspend some belief, especially since Mythbusters showed that just about every gadget Batman has is a little on the "fantastic" side.

It does not canopy or do anything significant to slow them and even if there was a slight flare just before they hit that would do absolutlty nothing. Even when a parachute opens and slows a person down if there is a failure and their is partial canopy in which to slow the person the force at which they hit is often devastating. And falling onto a car is no help, falling into water from ~ 100 feet is like hitting concrete. And I think most people, including kids, realized that everything about Batman is on the "fantastic" side. However, the point is still that he does not act like Batman in this movie and the movie does a poor job of injecting "reality" into the Batman world. The fact still stands, he falls from 20+ stories in his suit and is fine, he falls ~5 stories in his suit and can barely get up.
