I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the new Batman series by Christopher Nolan, it introduces us to explanations for each character, bringing us a sense of realism that was lacking in the original "comic bookie" movies.

One scene that intrigued me is the shattered bullet in concrete that Batman was able to to produce a finger print off of. Could this be possible, who knows, all I know is how much the Mythbusters love weaponry...

This could be a good one. Though I wonder if the bullet would indeed "shatter" or maybe something else. Past myths have shown different bullets can: stay together, shatter, and even glob up. Ok..glob up is my term but I don't know how to describe it.

I also want to know from that scene is if a fingerprint under any circumstance could survive on a fired bullet. And how can you shoot an individual brick as Batman does without shattering the brick.

this is no myth. remember the one myth about bullet proof water? hitting water at thatt speed is like hitting cement. and the same thing happen in bullets fired up when they fired a rifle bullet in the gel. if you make the bullet very fragile it may just shatter on impact and not even go in the wall. if they are willing to do a episode of it i will watch it to see if my theory is right

Good point, I forgot about that. Hmmm, is there any kind of masonry material that would make a difference? There is of course concrete but the brick in question had that older look to it. Perhaps a softer and more porous masonry material might make a difference.

Ok there's a scene when the joker kill's somewon with a pencil in the head. the joker slamed the guys head where the pencil was. when he died the pencil was still in tack.

your forgetting the 18 wheeler scene where batman shoots the wires and they cause the tractor trailer to flip.

This would be cool... I'm more concerned with the cord completely flipping a truck just by jamming the axles. And if a deployable motorcycle could fit into a car...

as far as the 18 wheeler yes you can flip one end over end that was no computer illusion... HOWEVER there was no rope involved. the truck was driving along and a large piston like object shot the trailor of the truck up and there where "teeth" like things in the fron of the truck that dug into the ground to help it flip over.

so yes you can flip it... as far as using cables to do it i highly doubt it given the mythbusters previous atempts with the batman epsisode and trying you yank the axle of a police car off using a cable. buth myths the cable snapped in two.

The technical term is air-ram. This was digitally removed in post-production. However if you look at the scene you can still see the gasses from its firing.

I'm not aware of any 'teeth' at the front of either of the two trucks* the flip was done with. I do know that the driving compartment was heavily reinforced, with a web of safety harnessing to prevent the driver from being thrown out of the seat.

*Two trucks have done this stunt. The first was done by the stunt team to test the idea - since no one had any idea if it would work. The second time was the one we see in the film. The film flip was done in a single take on a real city street, with the truck landing within an inch of where they wanted it to land. The only CGI elements were the batpod, cables and the removal of the ram.
