Are you kidding me? There are SOOO MANY plot holes in TDKR!
Namely, Bruce's Beard:
1. Bruce has been retired for 7 years, but his beard is only about an inch long. Wouldn't it be ZZ Top-length by the time we see him in TDKR? If he had been shaving, when did he decide to stop, and why? Nolan never tells us.
2. If Bruce had been shaving sometime during the past 7 years, how was he able to shave if he had to lean on a crutch? Did he sit down? Did Alfred shave him? If Alfred did shave him, why does Alfred never mention it? Nolan never tells us.
3. When did Bruce shave his beard off for the last time? Before he went to the party? Having a beard myself, I know that cutting it off after a long time can make the skin very sensitive, even slightly red. But clean-shaven Bruce shows no facial marks at all. How? Why? Not even any nicks? Nolan never tells us.
4. How did Bruce shave in the jail? And how and when did he shave before he came back to Gotham? Would Bruce really spend precious time shaving when he knows from the jail TV that the city has very little time left to survive? If he did stop to shave, who was he expecting to see first, Talia or Selina? Nolan never tells us.
These questions need to be answered, hopefully by a 5-6 hour Nolan rough cut, before we can explore an even greater plot hole--How did BANE shave?
This. We need the answers to these questions.
