How far does poetic license go before it disrupts the audience's experience?
I mean, yes, you're right within reason; but the sloppier the creative staff gets, the worse the response might be and the more ineffective the work in question might be.
Also, poetic license suggests there is some "method to the madness" -- like up above, when I discussed Face/Off, it was clear the director was making choices to sacrifice some things for a more emotional response from the audience. (like the gist about Archer coming home with the kid and just taking him in, and the family not being at the hospital.... the scene of him coming home is emotionally evocative in a way that the "realistic version" would not have been, and Lee opted for the emotional card).
It's up to you whether or not you want to let some plot holes distract you, or just say, "Hey, it's Batman, the Dark Knight. He's equal to all things, even making his way back into Gotham City after all the bridges in were bombed. Although we're not told how he managed it..."
