When Harvey Dent shoots Batman in the stomach, why didn't he die?

Question

Didn't he get a new set of armor? a more flexible one, but less durable against knife and gunfire?

Answer 1

Because everyone knows its against all laws of physics to kill Batman.

Answer 2

I understood that it could handle a minimum amount of gunfire, not none at all. Therefore, one gunshot is permissible, but not excessive.

Answer 3

He probably still had some kind of bulletproof vest underneath.

Answer 4

Yeah. It didnt totaly protect him, but it was enough to save him. But he was injured.

best.movie. EVER!

Answer 5

Less durable, not completely ineffective, though.  

Answer 6

cause he's Batman!!!

Answer 7

Less durable but still enough to save his life

Answer 8

Because it's a movie.  They don't use real guns and people don't really die.  It's all fake!  Everything is a lie!  Oh and Batman is ghey!

Answer 9

Because batman doesn't die.

Maybe it didn't hit a vital organ? (He did bleed, so no vest)

He's a tough m**o.

Watch the Dark Knight (Anime) that went with the movie.

I'm not gonna ruin the "plot" but that may have something to do with it.
