Other mistake: When Batman is video calling the Riddler and passes the phone over to the D/A, you can see Batman's face still looking at the phone in the reflection of the Riddler's glasses.
The Batman (2022)
Directed by: Matt Reeves
Starring: Colin Farrell, Robert Pattinson, Paul Dano
Plot hole: During the shootout with Penguin and his gang at the warehouse Batman gets shot and falls to the ground. Penguin then creeps over to the spot he fell and realises he has disappeared and is in his car behind him. It is totally impossible for Batman to just disappear and get behind them without being seen, no matter the rain or firefight, that place was lighted enough and everybody was looking that way. (01:18:00 - 01:19:15)
Continuity mistake: In the funeral scene, Bruce Wayne's hair changes lengths.
Trivia: The film's working title was "Vengeance."
Trivia: There is an extra scene after the credits roll. A computer screen pops up with a question mark and the word goodbye?

Edward Nashton: If you are justice, please do not lie / What is the price for your blind eye?
Oswald Cobblepot: Whoa! This guy's crazy.
Question: Has it ever been established that Gotham City is some sort of separate district similar to Washington D.C.? In the Dark Knight films it was pointed out that the license plates said "Gotham" on them rather than whatever State Gotham is located in. Here, we see Edward's drivers licenses and they also say "Gotham" on them, rather than a State name. Also, has there ever been a distinction made between "Gotham" and "Gotham City"? Because why wouldn't the licenses have the word "City" too?
Answer: It's also been referred to as its own separate state. The city, county and state of Gotham.
Question: Is this film supposed to be set in the same universe as the DC Extended Universe (in other words is this supposed to be a prequel, with Robert Pattinson's Batman being a younger version of Ben Affleck's) or is this set in a completely different continuity?
Answer: Completely different.

Answer: In "The Dark Knight," we see Gotham State Police setting up barriers. In short, Gotham has never been shown to be anything akin to the District of Columbia, probably because Gotham is never meant to be the capital of the country.
