Microwave weapon

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2006)

So, in every superhero movie you have to suspend disbelief to a large degree. Why does the microwave weapon bug me? It is a weapon based on technology (one we all have in our homes), not super powers, so I sort of expect it to work in a near-realistic fashion. Here is a weapon emitting microwaves seemingly in every direction so powerful it can vaporize water in pipes buried beneath the streets of Gotham and yet people can stand just feet from it and not even feel a tingling sensation? Why didn't we have charred and boiled people all over the place? Darn it for not making sense in my head. Well, I still really enjoyed the movie. I just wish there wasn't this big plot hole glaring at me.
