If you want to create your own reasonings thats fine Im just going off what I actually saw not what my mind can come up with. And I guess no Airborne Infantry solider specially equipped for parachuting has ever been injured by a fall :p.  And lets not forget in Batman Begins after he jumps off the building after speaking with Gordon he lands hard against the railing and at least shows signs of injury by a 1 1/2 story fall. If your going to make him more human in the movie then at least show a 20+ story fall caused a bit of an inconvenience especially since he did nothing to slow their descent. But Im sure there will be another loop hole I must be missing that was neither implied  are articulated in the movie, he was cape less and his cape didnt catch cosmic bat winds that drop him as light as a leaf to the ground below. OR his armor was not updated to the newest beta 2.0 which has a special hidden impact feature that senses imminent impact and deploys a special batgel within the suit to let him withstand falls from 5000 feet, how could we forget the batgel.

 

The movie prides itself on being true and gritty and "realistic" yet has so many holes. I realize that other movies have the same issue but if you want to make a critically realistic movie I think it should be looked at critically. If they are going to step away from the comic book style and walk into a whole new arena, thats great  but do it right, and I don’t feel they have. Take the scene when they are transporting Dent, the SWAT guy riding shotgun delivered so many terrible lines that took away so much of the seriousness of that scene. Hes making these casual nonchalant remarks about horrendous destruction thats going on. Wheres the gritty, seriousness in that? And tagging it as a good time to lighten the tension with humor is just a terrible idea.

 

Actually, I could care less how he survived.  He's the hero, the main guy, the star.  He's suppose to survive.  If he had broken all his bones and been taken to the hospital, it would've made the movie really funny.

What other holes does it have?  So far, the biggest problem seems to be the 20 story drop.  What other things "brought you out of the movie"?  The only scene I remember thinking looked funny was when he rode the batcycle into a wall, went up the wall, turned, and came back down facing the other direction.  Something about it looked forced and funny, but that's the only one that really stuck out.

Great, now there's a posting limit.
