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: 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: 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.
