Batman Begins

Corrected entry: When Batman throws his first explosive on the speeding train, it hits the window and the glass breaks inward. It should break outward.

Correction: They're not explosives. They are small metal pieces, in the shape of a bat, that he also used earlier on in the film (to destroy the lights). The windows break "inwards" because of the speeding train causes wind to blow "inwards". Just like wind blows "inwards" when you pull down the windows while driving your car.

Correction: That's the physics of how glass windows break. Broken glass will move towards the direction it was hit from (that is to say if an object is moving towards the right when it hit the window, the glass will move to the left). If the window is broken from the inside, the pieces will fall inside. The only reason glass falls to the other side is because as it breaks and falls on top of itself, sometimes it's unbalanced and topples backwards.

Correction: Ducard tells the men "no one comes out, make sure" then we see two men walking toward the burning mansion. We don't know what they then did and it is reasonable they split up to cover different sides since there must be more than one way out. To get in the house, Alfred hits the one covering the entrance he uses, while the other man is simply someplace else. Not seeing the second man isn't a mistake.

Corrected entry: Bruce knows that Rachel was going to Arkham before his party, but he could not know that she was in the basement with Crane.

Correction: He could know if he wiretapped the building. He was shown earlier in the movie to have wiretapped a conversation between Crane and Falcone.

Continuity mistake: As Ducard is sliding down the ice toward the cliff, he's on his front, sliding feet first. Bruce is also on his stomach, but sliding head first. Then, just before Ducard goes over the edge, Bruce is instantly on his back, sliding sideways, right side toward Ducard, just in time to take Ducard's hand, saving him. (00:40:10)

Suggested correction: The shot from afar shows Bruce rolling as he grabs Ducard at the edge. He isn't instantly on his back.

The mistake is valid. In the shot from afar, Bruce is already on his back with no time to roll over into that position from the previous shot.

Continuity mistake: When Bruce is thrown off the truck when released from prison, you can see his bag in the background as he rolls at least 5 feet away to his right. When the angle changes and he's getting up, the bag is right in front of him, if not slightly to his left. (00:05:50)

Question: Shouldn't Bruce be as insane as Falcone? Unless the dosages delivered to Batman and Falcone, respectively, were different. Also, why didn't Rachel yell and scream and go crazy like Falcone did when he was hit?

Answer: Bruce is just as infected as Falcone, however he is rescued by Alfred shortly after he is poisoned and given an antidote by Lucius shortly after that. He is then bedridden for many hours. If he had not been saved as quickly as he was, he no doubt would have been a blubbering mass just like Falcone. The reason Rachel and even Bruce don't react the same as Falcone the moment they are poisoned comes down to how each individual person reacts to fear: Bruce tries to fight, Rachel faints, Falcone screams in horror.

Answer: Also he had taken it before, earlier in the mountains.

Answer: Bruce was thoroughly trained to deal with fear. It's likely he'd be able to hold his mind together better than most.
