Wow.
People really don't know what a plot/plot hole is.
Somebody linked a website back there about major and minor plot holes and the first major one I read was essentially:
Why did Jim Gordon send all the cops into the sewer to get Bane? Isn't he smart and shouldn't he have predicted the trap?
First of all, the way people react is not a plot hole, if it is anything, it is characterization (unless they act in an impossible way).
Second, let's see... How did Jim Gordon react when he found out that the Joker was going to blow up a hospital? Oh, he sent everybody to the hospitals? But what if the bombs had blown up and killed the police force? No, it worked. Might as well do it again.
Next, he was hospitalized by his encounter with Bane. One might suppose he was acting emotionally.
Next, a major theme of the movie is that Gordon's old style of tough justice is no longer relevant in peace times. This would be an example of him going in, guns blazing.
I love both Dark Knight movies. I think they are the best comic book movies ever made and they are stupendous, but in terms of PLOT and not PLOT DEVICES, The Dark Knight Rises blows the Dark Knight out of the water.
