The whole east coast was socked in IIRC.

And at the same time, so few people who are supposedly bad guys or other spies know who he is.

Additionally, people are already in place to kidnap Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes, just in case, and the Joker knows where they will be taken if all that happens.
Also, the Joker says he's a man of simple tastes, and offers as proof that gasoline is cheap.
Why didn't they name their first kid Marty or Calvin for that matter? But Dave? Come on now.

THE WHOLE EAST COAST? My goodness. That must have been one hell of a snowstorm.
Death Blow is all just a gimmick that makes no sense. Why is someone trying to blow him up, not because of who he is, but for different reasons altogether?

They're confused because they think his name is Bond James Bond.
In the Matrix, the bad guys have enslaved the human race and imprisoned them in those pod-type things in order to harvest their energy. The humans must be alive to harvest the energy, and so the computer generated "Matrix" is created to fool the humans into not being aware of what is happening. This, of course, leads to all sorts of mayhem as a few of the humans figure everything out and fight against the bad guys.
My question is:
if enslaving humans this way requires the fabrication of an entirely computer based reality, why didn't they just use cows or horses or some other "lower" animal as power generators? It seems the odds of a mass cow "awakening" would be much less and creating an artificial reality that would satisfy a cow brain would be much easier.

You're assuming a cow is less intelligent than Keanu Reeves.

I believe in the original screenplay the machines were using the humans for the computational power of their brains, but this plot point was later dumbed down to "using them as batteries" which ended up not making a lot of sense, as you mentioned.

That's one of my favorite jokes in the show Archer. He always tells everyone who he is, except in Archer, all the bad guys know who he is, while he is usually clueless as to their identity.

In Due Date Robert Downey Jr. and Zach G. are driving from Dallas to the Grand Canyon. They turn off the interstate "to get gas" and end up at the Mexico border. Only off by 250 miles or so...
the original plan was to go straight to LA, not the Grand Canyon. Downey's character later decides to go to the Grand Canyon to spread the ashes of Ethan's dad. Either way there are two different ways to get from Dallas to LA and there is only a seven mile difference in travel distance. The way depicted in the movie is by taking I-20 and I-10, passing through El Paso then going on to Phoenix where they detoured to the Grand Canyon. If the Grand Canyon had originally been intended, they would have taken I-40 through Albuquerque.
"THE DUMBEST part is Doc wearing the bulletproof vest at the end. So let me get this straight -- he VOLUNTARILY risked putting himself and young Marty in the line of fire of a bunch of terrorists after KNOWING what would happen? DUMB DUMB DUMB"
How do you know Doc didn't go into the future future and determine that the plan would work out just fine if he just wore the vest?
In The Big Lebowski, Walter answers the phone on the Shabbat.

As discussed by Gordon in the movie, wasn't it all a set up to get Lau out of the the jail Gordon was in charge of, ie the Joker let himself get caught to free Lau and get the money? There was a scene earlier between Dent and Gordon discussing how Dent didn't trust Gordon's people and Gordon didn't trust leaving Lau at county. Thus Lau stayed at Gordon's building.
LOL smd!!!
Face Off, where the FBI agent (Travolta) with the bad guy's (Cage's) face kills about 400 cops with no apparent repercussions.
