Corrected entry: The city of Gotham is completely different to the one in Batman Begins - the overhead railway that featured so much at the end of Batman Begins has completely disappeared (while damaged, not so badly as to warrant ripping out the entire track) and Wayne Tower was the central hub of all the city's amenities, but just an ordinary office block in this film.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: In The Dark Knight, Lucius Fox says that the population of Gotham is 30 million, yet in the Dark Knight Rises, Talia al Ghul says that the population of Gotham is 12 million.
Correction: Talia was referring to the population of Gotham 'City' being within the bomb blast radius. Gotham state is much bigger and therefore more populous.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: It was explained to Bruce when he was in the prison that Bane was attacked and treated by the doctor and was left in continuous pain and had to wear the mask but earlier in the movie it shows us that child who escaped was okay and could not have been Bane. (01:42:05)
Correction: Exactly. This is a plot point. Those who paid attention would have figured out who the child was before it was revealed.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: In the opening plane crash scene, as Bane is talking to the CIA guy, he says, "Dr. Pavel refused our offer in favor of yours. We had to find out what he told you." At the end of this line, if you listen carefully, you can hear Bane start to say something else, but gets cut off. (The original line in the script was "We had to find out what he told you about us.").

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: The scene when the police men charge into the crowd of bad guys and the camera is displayed over head there is one actor policeman with a yellow vest who is ahead of all the other police men and he seems to throw a punch into the opposing crowd but two goons go opposite side and he missesthe punch, the actor almost baffled continues to run with his fist out to hit someone but everyone concentrates on the other police men, he slows down and finally after realizing this an actor from the goons side comes after him. Pretty funny.
Correction: A character missing a punch does not qualify as a mistake, not even a character mistake. Think how many mistakes we would have if we include allow a gunman missing his target in a shootout in all movies to be a mistake.
He is probably overwhelmed by the chaos.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: Bane and Batman have a fistfight in the street, in broad daylight, in the middle of a massive war between police and mercenaries. Both sides have guns, yet not a single person thinks to shoot either of these high-profile target men, let alone each other, after the two crowds come together.
Correction: This is more particularly true for the Police officers: If they were to shoot and miss they could hit another police officer. Not worth the risk. As for the explanation why anyone didn't shoot Batman or Bane? Who knows? BUT Shoulda/woulda/coulda submissions do not qualify for movie mistakes.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film, it is mentioned that the bomb will go off in 11 minutes. There's a chase scene with Gordon in the back of the truck with the bomb and at one point, you can see the timer on the bomb reads 17 minutes. In close up, it reads 10 minutes.
Correction: It never seen to display 17 minutes. The 7 could be mistaken for a 1 if the timer is displayed at a distance.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: After Scarecrow exacts punishment on Gordon and crew, Miranda Tate is taken by Bane. The next shot she is with Fox when Bruce Wayne is brought in and Cat woman fights off a couple of the mercenaries. At the end she is held captive once again with Bane.
Correction: These scenes are set apart well enough in the movie for the viewer to understand that they are not continuous. After Scarecrow sends Gordon and his crew to exile, Bane calls for Miranda over to him. Somewhere between this scene and the next scene, she would have devised a plan to goto Fox to gather info. After Wayne rescues Fox and leaves her behind, she would have gone back to Bane to inform him. Just because we weren't shown how or why, it doesn't make it a mistake.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: Joseph Gordon-Levitt commandeers a car to rescue Commissioner Gordon, he drives through exploding streets, falling debris and smoke, but when he arrives at the hospital the car's exterior appears in pristine condition. Looks like he stopped to have the car detailed between shots.
Correction: He arrives at he hospital in the car which is in the same condition as he "borrowed" it. His original car got damaged, but the other car was taken by him after the explosions had finished.

Correction: The overhead rail can be seen in this movie. In an aerial shot of Gotham, a train and rail-line can be seen in the bottom right corner of the shot. Wayne Tower is not the same as in the first movie, but companies/businesses do move offices, and a long time has passed between movies.
