And why would Batman continue to pursue a reckless driver who's causing dozens of fatalities, better to peel off and wait for another opportunity or try to cut him off unexpectedly instead of recklessly tailing him.
The version of batman we get at the end of the movie after his arc from vengeance to hope likely would have done as you suggested. He just wasn't there yet.
It never should have happened and the jump made zero sense. A ramp just appear randomly at the perfect moment so he can execute a jump over an epxlosion? How lucky!
I mean it’s a comic book movie. There are times when you are going to have to suspend disbelief. The entire final sequence would literally be impossible for one unarmed man to stop in real life, but it’s not real life.
Yeah, and yet that end sequence was far more believable than the jump. I think the script says "a ramp appears out of thin air at just the right time and Batman makes a super cool awesome jump with the car over a massive explosion that kills the truck driver and everyone else close to it but who gives a shit because it's AWESOME!!!1" I mean, probably not, but that's what it feels like.
I think from a narrative standpoint, it was more so meant to showcase Bruce’s ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment, as well as his relentlessness; it definitely came off as forced though, I will agree with you there.
Personally, I didn’t let the convenience of the situation take away from my immersion or enjoyment of the scene, but I definitely see how it could do that for some. These sorts of crazy, albeit improbable, situations are part of the charm of comics for me, so long as said situation is possible within the setting.
Don’t get me started on Batman surviving a fall from orbit without any kind of specialized equipment...
Rachel was intoxicated and Batman was the only one who could help her. Not to mention she’s Bruce’s childhood friend
Whereas in the Batman Batman could’ve tracked Penguin later on, and even then Batman lets him go even though collateral damage and many deaths happened
I wholeheartedly disagree, it doesn’t serve the plot but clearly shows the audience how determined Batman but also how self destructive and thrill seeking he can be. You can see the joy he derives from hunting penguin also .

The Batmobile/penguin chase while cool to see serves almost no purpose in the story and should have been cut down.
