Official "The Dark Knight" SPOILER Thread

If it doesn't have a Harvey Dent sticker on the chest it ain't worth it.

In all seriousness, I'm interesting in seeing that custom.

I'd gladly put it on if someone could find a good pic of it I could scale down and print out. It was different than all of the viral stuff, but if all else fails, I can try one of those.

You need to make a custom detonator as well.

Ooo. That might be a tougher one. Will have to look into it.

When Batman Begins 1st came out on DVD there weren't a lot of extras on that either.

I know! Me too! My favorite scene. I've just been watching one that has just been from Gambol's line on, so I love that this one has the laugh! I thought that was great too!

The thing is that Hugo Strange's activities are a little farfetched for Nolan's Gotham.

If you take the entire Batman history yes - but then so are Ra's, Scarecrow's and the Joker's...

Taking Strange from Legends of the Dark Knight purely (which a lot of Nolan's movie seems to be referenced from - i.e. the "Doctor Crane isn't here right now" line) he's very believable.

One of the reasons is that the comic series is a spin off of Millar's Year One, which again (obviously) inspired Nolan's work.

(I liked my Two Face better)

 

[Darklord Dave]

Agreed. The fact that Jim Gordon's son is getting the spotlight is bad enough. Anyone know whether the son is the Pre Crisis Anthony Gordon or the Post Crisis James Gordon Jr? I never did remember hearing his name....

Jimmy. Barbara and James Gordon have a son and daughter named James and Barbara.

I thought Carrey did a superb job with the Riddler. If anything, it's Bane who needs justice.

I thought Carrey did a great job - but that Riddler would be horribly out of place in Nolan's Gotham.

 

[The Mike]

Jim Carrey was ridiculous as the Riddler as have been 90% of the portrayals of the character. The best portrayal ever was in Loeb's HUSH where he was behind the scenes and his riddles were acted out by other parties. He was calm, cool, collected and waited for Batman to finally figure out that he was moving the pawns around.

Either way, The Riddler wouldn't be effective in Nolan's Gotham. My money is seriously on Black Mask, if you read the character's history and the fact that Nolan/Goyer were already considering the character they tie in perfectly.

 

[Darth Rage]

It'll be Redemption as is usually done for these 3 part plays. Since they are carrying the mob thing throughout the last two look for the villain to tie in there. My thoughts is after The Joker has shown how public fear is an amazing tool, villains coming out of the woodworks with their own "personas" is predictable. A realistic version of the Penguin where the Danny DeVito raping of Batman Returns is thrown out and its more along the lines of the modern comic book tellings would suffice or Maybe even The Black Mask who really is sadistic and a mob boss and lives to destroy everything Batman. I could see him working out perfectly. He did try to make Gotham have one unified Mob where he was the head in the comics....

Knowing Black Mask, he'd find out about Harvey and put it out there that Batman didn't kill just to get Batman to fall by his own hands.

I've been mentioning Black Mask for quite a while in these threads now, glad to see more people digging the idea.

Along the lines of redemption, I wouldn't be surprised to see Two-Face escaping Arkham and acting as an anti-hero along the lines of Jason Todd in the "Under the Hood" storyline. Black Mask shows up trying to re-unite the mob, Dent struggling with his two face persona, killing criminals and cops alike, and Batman of course, providing the foil for both of them.

I am dying to hear what Goyer has in mind though.

Seems Christian Bale is taking the vigilante part of Batman a bit too literally.

What they didn't tell you is that he was assaulting London Mob Bosses.

Greatest comic book movie ever!!! For once a movie with a load of hype behind it delivers 100%!!!

Gotta make this super fast.

Now that I think about it...

I think Harvey Dent's alter ego should've been saved for the next sequel, thus giving him more character devlopment. If a casual movie goer never read up on him in the comics, he/she wouldn't know that Two Face is a mob boss with multiple personality disorder, an obsession with duality, which wasn't present in the film. Also, another important factor...the origins of how Two Face came to be, such as, his family history of mental issues, and showed streaks of immorality from time to time.Dent using meds to supress these problems.

Hey, don't know if you guys can help.

I saw a site sometime back, maybe weeks ago, of pics from TDK movie. There was a site where it had all these pics from the movie.

I'm looking for a pic where Batman grabs Joker by his coat and drags him over the table in the interrogation room. Anyone has this pic or can tell me where to get it? Thanks.

 

[Shropt]

Anyone have any idea where I can get a 1:1 Joker switchblade? Is it an actual knife that was bought or something they created?

Thanks!

This whole thing is blown out of proportion.
