For sheer hilarity, though, was the clip from Batman they showed in my high school Physics class, in which Batman gets pushed off a building, sends a rope shooting up off his utility belt (or something) and the rope stops him dead.
1. He was going fast enough and stopped suddenly enough that the force would've just ripped his arm off. Batman isn't Superman; the laws of physics apply to him.
2. We actually timed the fall and calculated, and he'd have fallen like a mile and a half. He was falling for a LONG time.
That's probably not a "didn't do their research" issue so much as a "didn't give a shit!" issue, though.
