Bruce getting back to Gotham in The Dark Knight Rises is easily explainable

I've always laughed when people say this is supposedly a plot hole. The film has its issues but they're mostly narrative ones, not plot holes.

This is why Bruce getting back to Gotham is not far fetched at all:

• In Batman Begins, we know that young Bruce traveled the world for years with little resources. By The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce is older and more experienced. He's resourceful and has had ninja training. If he could travel the world in Batman Begins pre-LOS training, why not post-LOS?

• Bruce had the time. Prior to escaping the pit, we're told that there's 3 weeks until detonation. When Bruce returns, we're told there's 24 hours. So he had 3 weeks of time to make his way back to Gotham. Easily achievable in that time frame

• The CIA special agents are able to smuggle themselves into Gotham. So Bane's security isn't that great. If the special agents can do it, Bruce, who is more trained and resourceful than them can do it. Batman >>>>> government agents. Also if it makes any difference, Wayne Manor is located outside the city so this would help

• Perhaps as a final point, Batman Begins does show that Wayne Enterprises has global locations in the East. This may or may not have played a factor in his return

Its pretty easily explainable. Noone seems to take issue with Bruce traveling the world with little resource in Batman Begins, or point out that the government special agents got into Gotham. Batman in this universe is leagues beyond those agents.
