Trivia

The only film in the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy to incorporate the word "Batman" on its title. Its sequels, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, however, use "The Dark Knight", one of the most known Batman nicknames instead. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: You cannot open a water main and see water flowing through it. Water mains that feed uses including sprinklers are pressurized to over 150 psi. Opening a main in the fashion shown would have flooded the basement in minutes. Also, mains serving other areas do not pass though buildings. See more »
