The Dark Knight Rises

Continuity mistake: When Blake is talking with the orphan on the bench, the wider shot of them shows the fence behind them being totally still. But in the shot of the orphan saying "Do you think he's coming back", the fence is suddenly in the middle of rattling in the wind. (00:18:55)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Commissioner Gordon and his men are caught by Bane's henchmen and sent to exile, Bane takes Miranda away, but then Bruce speaks to her before leaving with Lucius, and then asks the commissioner where she is just scenes after. (02:03:54 - 02:07:05)

Continuity mistake: When Selina Kyle and Daggett fall onto the elevator, the shot cuts away before Kyle gets up. Yet in the following shot, she is fully up and standing within range of the cables. (00:52:25)

Friso94

Continuity mistake: During the raid on the stock exchange, watch as Bane snaps the man's neck and slams his head on the table, you can see without placing his finger on the print scanner, but it appears there on the next shot.

Alex Abreu

Continuity mistake: After Batman and Selina escape Bane's men on the roof-top, Batman flies with Selina in "the bat" and drops her off before returning to the batcave. When he arrives in the cave, he emerges from "the bat" without his mask on and examines the data he obtained from the stock exchange heist. At this point he should still have on the dark black eye makeup he typically wears under the mask, even without the mask on. We are to believe he returned to the cave directly after leaving Selina, and it would not make sense that in flying back home he removed his face paint. (00:55:45)

Continuity mistake: When Hines Ward scores the opening touchdown as the field collapses, he ends by the letters "ues" (end part of Rogues). We see the field collapse up to the lettering, including part of the "u." When the mercenaries storm the stadium, there's a wide shot of the end zone and more of the field is present by those letters. Plus, when Ward is in the end zone, the grass is green between the letters, but in wide shots, the grass in the end zones is painted yellow with black letters.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: During Bane's first fight with Batman on the catwalk, when Batman catches Bane's left punch and then headbutts him, Batman's right hand is in the air and not holding the ledge. In the very next shot, Batman's right hand is now on the ledge. (01:12:10)

Continuity mistake: In Bane and Batman's second fight scene, before they walk up the steps, Bane side kicks Batman with his right leg. Immediately after that, in the next shot, the angle changes and he kicks Batman with his left leg, instead of his right. (02:14:50)

Factual error: When the bridges are blown up, some of the bridges are suspension bridges, but the bridge only fails at the point of the explosion. The main horizontal supports are severed, but large portions of the bridge remain magically aloft. The nature of suspension bridges means the remaining vertical cables and road deck would fail as well, resulting in the loss of the bridge between the two main pillar supports.

Trivia: John Blake talks about "giant alligators" being in the sewer, likely a nod towards Batman villain Killer Croc.

Question: Does Bruce Wayne or Batcycle use EMP Burst or something similar to turn off all reporters cameras at the Charity Ball or Subway lights during the stock market chase and the aftermath?

Answer: Yes, it would seem that he carries some sort of device that produces that effect in a small area around him, plus the gun with the lights at the end of the "barrel" appears to have the same effect over a longer range, as he uses it to take out a motorcycle some distance ahead of him.
