  • the Asile of Arkham is usually not located at the right in the middle of a district as it is the case in film, even if the island on which it is well attached to the city by drawbridges.
  • Crane is not member of the Asile of Arkham also, although that would have rained to him much in the comics.
  • Lucius Fox does not know in the comics that Bruce Wayne is Batman whereas here he guesses it. Moreover, it is not either a doubled expert in technology of a biologist but a very good manager of company (what it becomes at the end).
  • One can note the presence of Mr. Zsasz (incarnated here by Tim Booth), a recurring enemy of Batman, become for this film a henchman of Carmine Falcone.
