The Dark Knight Rises Prologue Plot holes
Minor Plot hole: A CIA-sponsored aircraft does not detect a non-stealth plane flying slowly above its flight trajectory. This means that part of the subplot for this movie goes something like this:
U.S General: You wanted to see me Mr. President ?
Obama: Yes, I unfortunately bring sad news my dear friend. The recession hit us hard. We have to make difficult decisions to save the economy – What I mean by that is……Radars.
U.S General: I’m sorry sir, I am not sure I –
Obama: Radars. We are going to scrap radars from U.S aircraft. All of them. Those things are luxuries we as the American people can no longer afford.
Bane being the Mastermind that he is, knew about the lack of radars on CIA planes, otherwise his plan would have fell to shit.
Major Plot hole: Bane commands one of his soldiers to stay in the crashing plane – aka to sacrifice his life – because the CIA will expect the crashed remains to have one prisoner body inside. But Bane simply wasted a comrade’s life. The CIA has engineers and forensic experts that will be able to see that the plane was attacked from the exterior – bullets fired from outside the windows – and holes dug outside the cockpit by mechanical wrenches.
There is no way for the CIA to assume nothing fishy and fancy happened. Considering the wings will be miles away from the rest of the remains – even an inbred postman would be able to grasp the physical concept that no plane can crash like this on its own. Thus, with all the efforts put into his master-plan, Bane sacrificed a soldier for nothing and put a lot of effort into a stealth operation that will simply not work.
Contrived Plot point: The CIA agrees to take some hooded prisoners aboard their plane because they work for the ‘masked-man’ called Bane. The CIA, an organization that is known to be very rigid, thoughtful and safe in their internal action plan decides to NOT look at any of the prisoner’s face before getting them on the plane. You know, in case someone has a bomb or emitter in their mouth – or if someone has a mask and is called Bane.
