I’m a fan of this movie despite this second post but this also irritated me.
Bane breaks into the Stock Exchange outside of trading hours, plugs in a random laptop, uses stolen fingerprints from Bruce Wayne and somehow passes trades that bankrupt him and lose him control of Wayne Enterprises and the reactor project to Miranda Tate.
There’s not a bit of that plot that makes sense to anyone who has ever traded a stock. Chiefly:
- markets don’t suddenly become open to transactions because a laptop has connected to the network
- Wayne would never have a trading account directly at the exchange (he’s not a broker) so his fingerprints would not be relevant
- the trades happened during a terrorist attack so would be legally void as a criminal activity (the plot suggests this is ongoing but takes time and the trades are presumed valid until that happens - the world doesn’t work like that)
- systems and accounts have limits so a trade that some how bankrupts a billionaire would never be possible unless it was collateralised or backed by a credit line (which you wouldn’t do without a specific need)
- the scene where Wayne Enterprises then has a new controlling shareholder would presumably be because Wayne has personally been forced to sell his shares but yet he doesn’t seem to know this.
It’s beyond ridiculous that a more credible plot - along the same lines - couldn’t have been developed.
