...Wow. Most of those were already explained in the movie, or they are the nitpickiest of nitpicks in all of nitpickdom. I'll do a few of the most ignorant, though.
"Unaddressed Issue: How did Bruce Wayne get back in Gotham city? He had a few days to do it so it is not that farfetched of an idea to conceive. But – he was malnourished, beaten, penniless, stuck in Shitistan and he got inside the most heavily guarded city on Earth. Did he use a secret tunnel? Did he use George Clooney’s Bat-skates to cross the river? That could work as an explanation –but I pulled it out of my ass, nothing in the movie implied for an easy way for Bruce to show up again in the city. He just teleported there like a video game character using a scroll of town portal."
Answer: He's Bruce "Money out of my armpits" Wayne. He travelled the planet for almost his entire life, and has people within his own company that had connections that far exceeded Gotham. It's amazing that this is still a thing.
"Unaddressed Issue: Batman saved Gotham from a nuclear explosion. Booyah! Too bad the nuclear explosion still occurred a few miles away from the city. Here’s the title for the next installment: Nuclear Fallout: Rise of Robin’s hospital night-shift."
Answer: Except it's a fusion energy reactor, and it was never stated at all that it contained radioactivity. Its explosions had the traits of a nuclear bomb, but by how much isn't necessary. Bane wasn't going "Mutations bwahaha," he wanted to blow Gotham the **** up.
"Unaddressed Issue: If Bruce Wayne is alive at the coffee table at the end - how come no one recognizes him? After all, he is the famous dead billionaire of Gotham City. Would you recognize Steve Jobs if he was taking a coffee right beside you?"
Answer: Someone said it earlier, actually. After all that shit going down, Bruce presumed dead, and Wayne Industries at that point 8 years later becoming mostly nothing but a bucket of money just laying there, not to mention he has no personnel, no photographers, nothing to specifically tell you it's Bruce Wayne, who would even notice?
"Unaddressed Issue: Why did Bane and Talia want to die with Gotham? Why did Bane and Talia want to give 5 months of anarchy to Gotham before blowing it up…..instead of just blowing it up? Why did Talia want to finish her father’s will if she hated him? Why did Talia want to finish her father’s will if Gotham was not the same corrupted city it used to be with all the mobsters in prison? Why did Marion Cottillard play Talia’s death scene like a FOX Kids cartoon character?"
Answer: This is just... Dude, they explained that all IN THE MOVIE. I just picked this one out to laugh at how people are so in need of plot holes that they seriously ignore points made in the movie.
Talia loathed her father, and yet by oath of saving her and recognizing her as his daughter, she became in debt to him for this. She wanted to die with Gotham, as did Bane, because they believed it to be Rah's final Destiny, that Gotham was the ultimate source that they could all be liberated from.
"Why did Bane and Talia give 5 months of anarchy..." Apparently they took a piss during the speech in the theater when Bane EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHY. Jesus.
