nice but...

I liked the film. It had some nice surprises like that batman feared actually bats. The acting was alright. The development of the character was mostly credible so alright for that genre.
Some things disturbed me:

if microwaves blow up all water pipes in a certain range because the water is heated up dramatically - have you thought about of what humans are made of? - around 50 % of water! So they should have been exploded as well, right?

why, why, why did ras al gul train Wayne? and why was he so stupid to believe that he will be as cruel as himself?

if Wayne does not want to kill a criminal man he probably killed this man and many others by blowing up the whole fortress so this is a contradiction in my opinion ...

Waynes company is doing an IPO, but he bought the firm back. have you an idea how immense expensive such an act is? Where did he got the other money?

the shadows state economy as their waepon to fight corruption, first it takes a huge amount of money to get an economy into recession (central banks failed to get countries out of recessions...) so where did they got the money from? And most of all: economical crisis do actually strengthen corruption so if they just would have done the opposite they would have been much more successful...
