Obama, like Nolan, is a PIMP.

 

[Bats]

"Why doesn't Batman hit the Joker with the Bat-Pod?"

"How many explosions are in TDK?"

*smacks forehead a few times*

 

[CrackedPot]

Someone should have asked what inspired him to flip the batpod. They also should have asked where he gets those wonderful waist coats.

 

[Wedge A.]

Someone should ask him if he visits SuperHeroHype.

 

[BatMatt]

Heath thought of the potato peeler, awesome

 

[MattMetalHead]

I'd kill to know what Nolan is thinking as he reads these ridiculous questions.

 

[CrackedPot]

someone should have asked what music he listens to when he writes.

Didn't notice the rack shot between the helicopter and the cables as joker says "rack them up" - just coincidence apparently.

Prefers to work without storyboards, and hires story boarders when they are necessary. Does have his own doodles but doesn't want to show them to anybody.

On the interrogation scene as an allusion to current debates over torture: Batman provides the perfect character for exploring such avenues, and the scene was always intended to explore.

Q: Why is there a potato peeler on the Joker's person?
A: Heath felt this would be a suitably gruesome and amusing punch line out the parade of knives being drawn from The Joker's pockets. I don't like to think what the joker would do with a potato peeler.

Nolan didn't realize it was a Jerry Maguire line Heath says until Heath pointed it out. Heh.

[CrackedPot]

[Bats]

Yes, he be serious.

"Why doesn't Batman hit the Joker with the Bat-Pod?"

"How many explosions are in TDK?"

*smacks forehead a few times*

the explosions was mine I was getting desperate lol.

but he also answered my grammatically incorrect potato peeler question.

 

[Phoenix2088]

serious?

Yup, saw that too.

 

[Bats]

I'm getting desparate too! I didn't think he'd have a certain # though
.

 

[thisisbonertown]

Final scene shot with Heath was the him standing in front of the burning pile of money.

On casting Keith Szarabajka: Keith just seemed like the right guy for the job. He is very talented and fun to work with. Thanks for the question, Keith.

Cell phone in the gut was Jonah's idea.

Q: Was Batman tricked into saving Harvey?
A: Yes.

6 years age difference between himself and Jonah.

 

[CrackedPot]

Someone should ask "Have you ever worn shorts?"

 

[LifeisNoCheese]

I'm getting desparate too! I didn't think he'd have a certain # though
.

Just keep copying and pasting a certain question and don't stop. That's how I did it.

 

[CrackedPot]

Are yall watching the movie right now along with Nolan?

 

[BatMatt]

haha Michael Anthony Hall's mother

 

[CrackedPot]

Someone needs to ask what inspired him visually to create the sonar scene? And what the inspiration was for the boat scene?

 

[LifeisNoCheese]

I think he's taking a little break right now.

 

[S.D. Plissken]

This whole thing is soooooo ****ing stupid.

What is with all the softball ******** questions??

 

[Anita18]

haha Michael Anthony Hall's mother
