Some excuses can be made for a comic book world, which is why I'm happy to handwave most of the stuff in Marvel movies. They're pretty obviously working on comic book logic. But the Dark Knight universe is set up as very realistic, so it's a lot harder to give it a free pass when things don't work out.
I did not forget the fingerprints. There's still no reason for anyone to believe that Wayne's "transactions" are legit the day after a major security breach at the stock market. That IS something I noticed on my first viewing. Even in Gotham, a city where it's pretty much canon that completely ridiculous things happen all the time that make no sense, I can't believe that no one looked at those and didn't say, "Wait, this seems suspicious."
Most of the points I raised were alerted to me by articles over at The Law & the Multiverse. They do a better job of explaining their points than I do, so I will refer you to those articles:
I agree with their assessment of this stuff. TDKR is a fun movie, but I think it suffered from some serious logical problems. I didn't notice them the first time around, but I think I'd be quite distracted on a second viewing.
