Suggested correction: He does; he is wearing one during the restaurant scene.
No, he's wearing a regular suit in the restaurant scene, if you're talking about the one where he and his ballerina date sit down with Harvey and Rachel.
I don't know what you think the definition of a tuxedo is, but it's equivalent to a dress suit or dinner suit (or even black tie). So basically, dress shirt, dress shoes, trousers and a jacket.
There's a distinction between a tuxedo and a suit, and what Bruce is wearing isn't a tuxedo. There's also a difference between a dress suit and a dinner suit, also known as a black tie, so dress suits and dinner suits are not equivalent. What British refer to as a dinner suit is what Americans refer to as a tuxedo. Wearing a suit at dinner or a black tie doesn't make it a tuxedo.
So what makes a tuxedo?
The type of jacket and pants (or trousers), and often the shirt, shoes and accessories. Satin on the jacket lapel and side of the pants and pants without belt loops. Usually a tux comes with a pleated shirt with studs instead of buttons. Often you wear a bow tie and cummerbund, but it's not necessary. A casual or dress suit is made out of all the same material with acrylic and uncovered buttons.

Corrected entry: During the bank scene, there's 5 guys. Three in the car, two on the roof. As they begin the robbery, there are three on the bank floor, one in the vault, two on the roof (where did the extra guy come from?) The guy on the roof deactivates the alarm, gets shot. The shooter then goes down to the vault, where he shoots the vault guy. Technically leaving us with 4 guys still in the bank. He then begins to collect the money in duffel bags. While this is happening, the bank manager shoots and kills one robber, shooting him in the back. Leaving two robbers on the bank floor and one in the vault. Manager shoots the second robber in the arm, "where you learn to count?" Joker shoots manager, and begins loading the duffel bags. The only problem is the the vault guy never came up. He never bought the money to the floor. Joker shoots the last robber, shoots the bus driver and leaves. What happened to the money guy and where did the vault guy come from? "Three in the car, two on the roof."
Correction: The shooter of the guy on the roof goes to the vault to get it open, there is no extra guy. Later the guy who got shot in the arm visits the guy in the vault and shoots him once he has opened it, and starts loading the cash. He goes back and threatens the Joker about killing him and then gets hit by the bus. The amount of people is correct - the bus driver is extra, but only the Joker knew the actual amount.

Corrected entry: There's supposedly several police officers observing Joker from outside the interrogation room through a two-way mirror, but none of them notice Joker taking Stephens (his guard) hostage until he escapes the room.
Correction: There are no other cops present, they have all gone to rescue Rachel and Dent. Only Stephens is there.

Corrected entry: When the Joker greets Chenchen at the warehouse, Lau is seen alive and moving on top of the huge pile of money. When Joker sets the money on fire, Lau isn't heard screaming in pain even though it's obvious he is being burned alive.
Correction: Lau is not moving on top of the pile. He is tied up and there is a gag in his mouth. He couldn't scream even if he wanted to.
