CharacterInconsistencies

Character Bruce Wayne
Description Bruce Wayne's sudden willingness to become Batman again after years of seclusion seems abrupt. His emotional state and physical limitations would logically require more convincing and internal conflict.
( Scene 7 )
Character Selina Kyle
Description Selina Kyle's motivations and allegiances fluctuate throughout the story, making her character arc somewhat inconsistent. Her decision to help Batman, despite her self-preservation instincts, requires further clarification.
( Scene 13 Scene 39 )

StoryInconsistencies

Description The ease with which Bane is able to take control of Gotham and isolate it from the outside world stretches believability, especially considering the city's resources and infrastructure.
( Scene 28 )
Description The United States government's decision to completely abandon Gotham and its citizens, despite the presence of a nuclear threat, is highly improbable and raises questions about the film's portrayal of political and military leadership.
( Scene 30 )

PlotHoles

Description The circumstances surrounding Bane's capture at the beginning of the film and the subsequent plane crash seem contrived and convenient for the plot.
( Scene 1 )
Description The way Batman is easily defeated by Bane in their first encounter, despite Batman's skills and experience, feels like a plot device to quickly incapacitate him and advance the story.
( Scene 25 )

DialogueAuthenticity

Description Some of the dialogue between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle during the masquerade ball feels overly expository and serves primarily to reveal their backstories and motivations.
( Scene 13 )
Description Alfred's lengthy speech about his unfulfilled fantasy of Bruce Wayne's life, while emotionally impactful, could be seen as slightly melodramatic and out of character for the typically stoic butler.
( Scene 20 )

Redundancies

Element Training montage
( Scene 19 Scene 20 )
Suggestion The multiple training sequences depicting Bruce Wayne's physical rehabilitation could be condensed for better pacing.
Element Chase scenes
( Scene 15 Scene 16 Scene 42 )
Suggestion The numerous chase sequences throughout the film, while visually impressive, could be streamlined to maintain narrative momentum and avoid repetition.

Tips for Writing Effective Character Goals	By Jessica Brody (Save the Cat!): Writing character goals is one of the most important jobs of any novelist. But are your character's goals...mushy?

What's going on here? - Scenes are rated on many critreia. The goal isn't to try to maximize every number; \ It's to make you aware of what's happening in your scenes. You might have very good reasons to have character development but not advance the story, or have a scene without conflict. Obviously if your dialogue is really bad, you should probably look into that.
