Let's get one thing straight: The Dark Knight is, hands down, the best superhero movie ever made.
Obviously, it's difficult to place Christopher Nolan's cinematic masterpiece within the DC Extended Universe. Still, if we're comparing The Dark Knight to anything DC has put out (or Marvel, for that matter — Captain America: Civil War was great, but it's no Dark Knight), the film rises to the top.
And even in spite of these mistakes, The Dark Knight is still number one.
At the start of the film, the Joker robs a bank with a group of masked goons. Obviously, the Joker works alone, even when he's pretending to work with others.
After shooting all but one goon, he has the final guy load the cash into a school bus. He then shoots him, too, right behind the bus.
Well, that was convenient! No need to step over any dead thieves on your way out, eh Joker?
And if you look to the far left, you can just barely see a helicopter (with a camera attached) reflected in the building.
So close, guys! So close.
As you'll notice below, there's a pretty big shadow cast upon the building they're headed for.
But hey, we understand. Shooting a movie takes a long time, and the sun can be a real pain in the you-know-what for continuity.
Which is funny, considering the structures in the background are the McCormick Place buildings, which are located in Chicago, Illinois.
In doing so, he actually cracks the tiles behind him.
AWESOME.
Aw, man! Frankly, though, the interrogation scene is so cool, we have no problem looking past a few cracks (or lack thereof).
Sure, Christopher Nolan could have created the state of Gotham for the purpose of this film. He can do whatever he wants, as far as we're concerned.
However, Gotham is often considered to be somewhere in New Jersey. Never before has there been a Gotham state. Still, it's hard to say whether this was intended or a mistake.
Remember when all the mob leaders meet up and discuss plans with Lau, who's on a basic TV screen? Where are the camera and microphone allowing Lau to see and hear the people in the room?
If you want to believe that such a basic TV box has a built-in camera and mic, then OK, live your life.
The guards are speaking Mandarin Chinese in a Beijing accent, but they probably should be speaking Cantonese Chinese, based on their location.
The next slip-up takes place moments after the Joker leaves the hospital...which he blows up.
Now, there are reporters who run onto the bus before the Joker gets on through the back.
Obviously, though, none of them had an IMAX camera of that size, nor did we see them set one up.
Aha! Proof that there was indeed a set camera placed in front of the Joker on the bus.
It's. Just. That. Good.
