Any other climbers have a really big problem with the Dark Knight movie? How far will you go to overlook errors for a movie that you want to like?

Ok, as much as I want to like the Dark Knight movie, I have some serious issues with it. SPOILER ALERT.
1) If you are a CIA operative and have prisoners turned over to you, wouldn’t you pull their hoods off to see who they are?
2) If you have a vertebrae sticking out of your back, hanging from a rope and getting it punched back in will fix it?
3) If you have a belayer on your rope, why wouldn’t they take up the slack so you don’t slam into the wall (repeatedly)? And how did not break your back on that static rope, hmmm?
4) And if you have a top rope, why wouldn’t you have the guy on the end just pull you up to freedom?
5)Hey, did you notice those easily climbed ledges leading to the top? What’s with the completely unnecessary horizontal leap, anyway?
6) If you are the only remaining police force, why would you march together, bunched up, so the bad guys can just mow you down en masse?
7) If you have this amazing airborne firepower, why wouldn’t you just wipe out the bad guys rather than leave your vehicle and join in the brawl?

I’m sorry, but just so many things that were so stupid…and easily fixed. And suspension of disbelief is different than shoddy mistakes.

My partner said she enjoyed the movie until I ruined it for her pointing out the errors. Can you overlook things like that, or do they ruin the movie for you?
