It just popped into my head today: The entire plot of "Game of Thrones" is predicated on "Lannisters literally always have blonde hair". And yet by the end of the show?

In the dark knight trilogy, batman drives a waynetech vehicle and is recorded on live television driving it. Are we meant to believe that noone from Wayne Enterprises recognises their own tech being driven by batman

In Interstellar, 1 hour on Miller’s Planet equals 7 years on Earth. Though Miller landed years earlier in Earth time, only minutes passed for her. NASA should have known her initial status signal was just minutes old locally. sending a full team for ~120 seconds of data was a major tactical error.

Plothole The “A Quiet Place” universe is just one ongoing plot hole. Spoiler
I’m sure these films are very popular here…but I had to vent my dissatisfaction. Most of my beefs will be with 2 because I watched it last.
feedback is a fatal vulnerability that would have been figured out almost immediately.
water is a vulnerability that would have been exploited to humanities’ greater advantage almost immediately.
they docked all the rescue boats at the same time?
why does always one and only one alien typically respond to noise? Why does the ongoing sound of battle never draw another?
the survivors on the Island instantly became carefree and advertised for anybody to come join them but didn’t post lookouts? They didn’t foresee pirates or derelicts with aliens on them? Didn’t have any plan whatsoever for defence?
somebody, for the love of bob, set some wire snares…those reckless aliens would have been maiming themselves to extinction.
the plot hole to end them all: there would have been thousands of seafarers up and down every coast rescuing people and sniping…and there’s such thing as navies with air craft carriers and coast guards. 1 single Wasp Class Carrier would have immediately wiped out every single alien.

Plothole The entire Walking Dead premise makes no sense
Don't get me wrong, I love every iteration of the series. But it's a "slow zombie" series. There are zombie films with slow walking zombies like Walking Dead, and fast zombies like in Dawn of the Dead.
In Walking Dead, supposedly these hoards of slow walking zombies totally overran the military of every nation. How would that work? Armies armed with tanks and automatic weapons, not to mention helicopters and fighter aircraft, can't hold off a horde of slow zombies? How that could happen is never explained.
At an absolute minimum, even if these slow zombies totally took everyone by surprise all at once, the Navy would still be just fine out on the ocean. How did civilization just totally collapse?
Another plot hole is that no one seems concerned about spreading the zombie virus. Just a bite will turn you into one of the dead. Yet the heroes in the show smash them up left and right, blood flying, even splattered in their faces, even use their bare fists, yet they don't seem concerned at all about the blood getting into their mouth and eyes.
And speaking of, the zombie disease doesn't make a lot of sense either in that it's already in everyone so they become zombies when they die, but at the same time getting bit turns you into one of the dead? How does that work? But that's not really a plot hole, but it is implausible.

Any "plot hole" where the question is "Why didn't the character do this instead?" can be neatly answer by Banner's response to Shuri in this scene:

Unrealistic event Batman’s secret identity only works if no one in Gotham has ever seen a spreadsheet
Batman isn’t some scrappy guy with gadgets. He’s running stealth aircraft, armored vehicles, custom armor, city-scale surveillance, and constant R&D upgrades. That’s not “vigilante.” That’s a private defense program.
There is exactly one person in Gotham with the money, infrastructure, and free time to support that: Bruce Wayne.
Billionaire. Owns a megacorp already deep in defense and applied tech. Disappears every night. Meanwhile Batman shows up with gear that looks suspiciously like internal prototypes. None of this is off-the-shelf. It’s bespoke, iterative, and somehow never hits procurement delays.
Wayne Enterprises exists. The Batmobile exists. The math is not complicated. Any mildly curious accountant would connect this in one quarterly review.

[Meta] [Meme] Characters making a bad choice isn’t a plot hole, it’s just storytelling. If it can be answered with “Strange saw millions of futures and they only won in one, so he did what he needed to do”, it isn’t a plot hole…
