The Dark Knight Batman VS Joker: The final Battle

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

oops I screwed up, the hell with me.

Ok, many people argue about what the Climactic Final Battle of the film will be. Every good comic-book film has a climax. I know I Am Legend wasn't a comic-book film, but it's climax was wonderful. Spider-Man 3's was a little bit too good to be true. Spider-Man 1's was wonderful. 2's was ok. Batman Begins' climax wasn't HUGE (good thing, for this type of film).

My personal opinion is that at the end, after a long battle, Batman puts fear toxin onto Joker, causing him to actually fear Batman. (Barbastella plays ). If you think about it, this would be a wonderful climax! The Clown is brought to fear the Knight. Batman's purpose of being a bat in particular is to bring fear to those who prey on the fearful. If you notice, it's typically the other way around when Joker comes. So the climax almost has to be Joker brought to fear Batman. Do you know what this would do to Batman? It would pretty much bring him solidly to the icon of an immortal! What would it do if Joker, in the end, is not brought to fear Batman? It would mean that Batman has failed in one area. To bring fear to those who prey on the fearful. Not saying Joker cries and gets REALLY scarred. But to see a little fear on his face at the very end would just about turn this film into an A++ film for me.

While I think it would be interesting, Joker fears no one. Not even Batman. Chalking that up to a failure on Batman's part? I don't really think so. TDK is supposed to be the "escalation" where all things go to hell in a handbasket...so I wouldn't look for Bats to come out of this movie in very good condition.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Joker should be like a guy having a breakdown and loosing it more and more until the people (other than batman but inspired by batman) take a stance. (in the spirit of the train scene of spiderman 2 but obviously diffrent)

Hall of mirrors FTW ! "Enter the Bat" t: .

^ I would love to see something like that in TDK, even if we did see something similar in 89.

I think we will, in the...

interrogation scene

I've posted this before, but this is the way I reckon the Dark Knight and its climax should go-just me personally, I know that it wont though-hopefully we're in for something better-buuut (inhale)...

So the Joker is this mysterious nutjob, who is doing the rounds with bank robberies and murder-he's got the same motif as Batman where he dresses like a clown cos they scare him, and he thinks dressing like an exceptionally nuts one will scare the crap out of people-while at the same time Bats and new friend Harvey Dent are being a real pain in Maroni's ass. So Maroni sends out for the Joker to take the two down-which he does, targeting Batman on the streets and Dent by getting closer to home by abducting Rachel Dawes-however that also majorly pisses off Bats, Dent AND Maroni (just because the Jokers methods are causing so much chaos in Gotham)and so he's caught after he tries to flee the party by Batman-alas, Rachel has been taken away in another truck. This leads to the interrogation scene where Bats lays in Mr. J, who just laughs it all off.

Eventually Maroni has Mr. J broken out and accosts him for screwing up so badly, to which Joker casually murders Maroni and starts taking over mob activities(think like the scene in Mask Of The Phantasm where he takes out Artie). Meanwwhile Dent is in the midst of a stress induced break down, while Batman begins questioning his own methods on what is right and wrong-thats when the Joker decides to that bank robbery majigger we've heard aboot-sending the mob after Batman while he sets about throwing Gotham into project Mayhem styled anarchy (the other Batmen playing a part there).

So by the films end Batman has managed to foil most of the Jokers schemes and has chased him across the city to a bomb rigged chemical plant. While in there the incredbly intelligent Joker has managed to get most of Bats armour off (not the mask, cos frankly he doesnt care who he really is, he's more intent on destroying the symbol) and is beating him up pretty badly. Then Dent arrives (having been following the progress of the chase on the tv and police radios) intent on flat out killing The Joker. He keeps threatening him with a gun, and Batman trys to talk him down (big speech about true justice etc), but while he does that the bombs start to go off and Joker gets away. Dent and Bats try to flee but as the chemicals and flames fly everywhere Dent gets horribly burnt on one side of his face. Batman is torn between rescuing his injured but still alive friend, or chasing down the Joker. He leaves and unconcious Dent outside (police ambulances on the way naturally) and goes back in for mr. J. He finds him near the chemical dumping tubes, leading out to the Gotham river. They fight and eventually due to the building being on fire Batman tells the Joker that the only way out is with him. Joker thinks "**** it" and throws himself into the chemical reservoir leading out into the river. Batman escapes just in time. He and Gordon look on at the plant being put out, as they discuss the nigths events-Harveys in a stable condition in hospital but needs major surgery. Gordon reckons the Joker is definatly dead-Batman isnt so sure.

Meanwhile we see Joker arrive back at his hideout, his remaining minions treating him. He looks in the mirror to see a horribly bleached/ burnt face and cant help but notice the irony of looking like a clown permanently-cue hysterical laughter. In the hospital Dent wakes up-hes pissed at Bats for not letting him kill the Joker, pissed he left him for dead (in his mind anyway) and then he sees his face- He throws the mirror at the wall, and cue credits!

Something similar to that.

Something similar to that.

Kinda why I think it would work. Those built in double nods always seem to work and fans seem to appreciate it.

 

[metropolitanpsy]

i feel batman is gonna end up breaking joker arm with a kaysee move

 

[spideyman101]

Who here agrees that Joker should say something at the end like

"Now, batsy... you're gonna dance with the devil! COME ON!!! HIT ME!!!"

Kind of like a nod to B89 and Jack Nicholson.

If That were a Line it would sound so bad### I'd forget all about B89... t:

 

[Nightwatcher11]

I don't want a nod to B89. Otherwise it would be weird to me and I know they wouldn't do that because they wanted to establish a new type of Joker compaired to Jack's, not make nods to Jack's otherwise they defeated the whole purpose of differencing the 2. But yea I want Ledger's to have a line of his own simular to the whole "dance with the devil" but I'm sure his line will be "Why so serious?" But who knows?

 

[Crook]

That "I'm Batman" line in BB must've bugged you.

 

[Nightwatcher11]

yea it actually did! lol. But oh well. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. I just wish the dialogue would be original. But when I first saw BB, I thought it was a prequel to B89 and not a seperate franchise. So I was realllly confused at the ending because I was wondering how the Joker could be running around if this took place before B89. Then I learned that it was a seperate franchise and a new interpretation of Batman.

 

[sclabguy]

the first time i saw BB, i knew but didn't really care it was a seperate franchise, becuz its Batman. also previously i wanted to see ra's lazuraz pit but then when i watched it, i got too hooked on the story to care...

considering in the gotham times, there seems to be a lot of the articles on the circus, so i hope this is a nod to a circus final duel - similar to DKR

 

[BatmanFanatic]

I hope they don't nod to B89 unless it's something so subtle (like a prop) that you would really have to be paying attention to get it. I dont want them repeating B89 lines because that takes you out of the world of the movie and puts you into a meta-film experience. I'd rather be sucked in to Gotham for 2 hours and stay there.

 

[InSaNE_J]

I think it should go something like this


Batman approaches a deserted Arkham Asylum,thoughts racing through his mind about Rachel and Harvey,each second passes like an hour,his heart pounding so hard he almost thought The Joker would hear it,he slowly walks up the stairs,waiting for his target,then stops abruptly.He hears the sound that finally snaps him out of his trance like state,a sound that he has become all too familiar with,the sound of laughter,growing louder and louder as he creeps closer and closer. The joker's maniacal voice echoes through the halls like a path leading Batman to him,Batman walks through the creaky halls to find Joker in the shadows sitting in an electric chair like it was a throne,"Well,well,if it isnt the Batman himself" He says.Batman lunges at him like a man possessed,only to find it was a projection on a wall,suddenly he is whammed over the head with a crowbar.He writhes in pain but barely dodges another swing and manages to get a kick to the gut in,forcing the Joker to drop his weapon."Well I guess this is th-" He is cut off by a right hook to the jaw,but pushes Batman away and hits a throat thrust on him,"As I was saying,I guess this is the climax of our little adventure isnt it?Your brave heroics verus my...insanity.I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have..." He then proceeds to hit a few punches before batman shakes him off.The fight continues to the top floor until Batman gets the jaw shot that sends The joker careening into the barricade,Batman then clotheslines the Joker over the barricade,sending himself over in the process.As they both fall throught the Asylum,batman uses his grapple to hang on and,in an act of conscience,grabs the joker as well."What?!Your supposed to let me drop!Let me go!Shoot me!HIT ME!DO SOMETHING!"He screams."I am,Im taking you in,cause if you die,you win."Batman replies."FINE,if you wont drop me,I'll drop my self!"He says as he pulls out a pocket knife form his jacket and shoves it into batman's arm.Batman moans in pain and lets Joker fall into the black abyss.But just as he thought it was finally over,he notices a small Joker card taped to a wall,and its ticking...
he barely escapes as it explodes.


Its not good but its my first try

 

[metropolitanpsy]

an end similar to tdkr would be nice minus joker dieing!

i believe the whole "c'mon...HIT ME!" scene is a subtle nod to batman 89

Judging from the trailer, there are already a few nods to B89.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Honestly, I haven't seen a lot of nods to B89.

the filnal battle will be in a dock

the filnal battle will be in a dock

What makes you so sure?

 

[The Joker_1000]

It's just another suggestion, we all know it's nothing for sure, unless he worked on the movie, which I doubt.
