The Dark Knight Biggest Disappointment

[DW4]

Emobone? I'll call you annoyingbone instead.


Anyway...


1. Bale's Batman voice. Sometimes it was fine but some other times I couldn't even understand him.

2. Lack of batarangs and grapple hooks.

3. That we'll never see Heath Ledger given the chance to comment, talk about and possibly reprise his role as the Joker.

 

[The Joker]

Scarecrow was arguably the biggest threat in the last film, but he's since become a nothing.

Come now, Cmill. There is no arguement there at all.

Batman: "Crane was just a pawn"

Ra's was the biggest threat. He was the one pulling all the strings and arranging everything.

 

[Conebone69]

Are you just starving for attention with your comments now? You've made several snide remarks about the film with very little prompting.

Everyone is raving on why the movie is so amazing... so why cant I rave on why im so dissapointed?

Why So Serious?

 

[Eddie Brock]

Batman: "Crane was just a pawn"

Ra's was the biggest threat. He was the one pulling all the strings and arranging everything.

That doesn't change the argument, really. The fact of the matter is without Ra's Al Ghul backing him, Scarecrow is washed up. That's the point he was trying to make.

Thanks man, appreciate it

I just got back from see this movie and it lived up to my expectations and then some so I am not dissapointed. And with a film this good how can you complain?? Sure no movie is 100 percent perfect but this comes close like 97%. I find that most people who are nitpicking are the people who overhyped themselfs about the movie and expected to much from it.

 

[The Joker]

No, he said arguably Scarecrow was the biggest threat in the last movie. How? He was a mere lackey to the biggest threat, the guy who was arranging the destruction of Gotham: Ra's Al Ghul.

Ra's was the threat. Scarecrow was a pawn. He didn't even know Ra's' real intentions. He thought they were planning to hold Gotham for ransom.

 

[Cancer4TheCure]

Hey c'mon guys Conebone is just giving his opinion...lay off him a bit. I loved the film, but I certainly won't crap all over someone who did not.

C'mon! Love one another!

My biggest complaint is that this series is becoming a total sausage fest. They overdid it in the first with Bruce's Thomas Wayne worship and whiny slap-happy Rachel. In this one, they killed the only female lead (who sucked anyway), and overdid the male bonding again with Gordon and his son (who could have easily been Barbara). It seems like such a minor thing, but it really bugs me.

I respectfully request that they bring in a kickass Selina Kyle for the third installment, and that she not be a prostitute like the Frank Miller version.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Ra's was the threat. Scarecrow was a pawn. He didn't even know Ra's' real intentions. He thought they were planning to hold Gotham for ransom.

The point has gone right over your head. Who was supplying Crane with the blue flowers? Ra's Al Ghul. Crane was a threat because he had a healthy supply of Fear Toxin. Now that Ra's is gone? Supply's washed up. Crane is a nobody now.

Whether or not he was the "biggest threat" is irrelevant to this particular argument. The argument here is that he's no longer menacing.

 

[Yr Blues]

One of the clips online had Alfred saying something funnier than the one that ended up in the movie when they were on the Yacht.

Eddie made my point for me.

Ra's was the main villain in the big scheme of things in Begins, but for the majority of the film, who was the biggest physical threat to Batman, Dawes, and Gotham? Crane.

I think the point has flown over your head. I never argued about Scarecrow being washed up now in TDK. Where did I even mention that in my post?

I was talking about Scarecrow in Begins. Capeesh?

Why So Serious?

Because half of your posts are smartass "witicisms" like "Thats what I said about begins and I was right... they couldnt top it". That is a completely unnecessary and just plain nasty quote.

You have some legitimate criticisms, some that I agree with, but there is no need to be an ******* about it and try to stir up fanboys with knowingly snide comments.

 

[Hobgoblin]

It wasn't so supposed to.

Scarecrow was arguably the biggest threat in the last film, but he's since become a nothing. A joke to Batman. A guy who gets captured along with a bunch of 30-year-old, wannabe crimefighters in homemade spandex.

Why would Nolan make him sound menacing when he wasn't menacing?

I still think its a shame. Scarecrow has always been one of the top rogue's gallery members. I think he deserved better. But he was a minor part of the film, so it really doesnt bother me much.

 

[Die Laughing]

I would have liked to have seen some of the previous takes on certain clips. Though I liked the more serious tones used in the movie as well.

Is it me missing it or did the joker not say "Hmmm" in the film like he did in like the third tv spot.

- Ahahahahaha!

 

[Cmill216]

I kinda feel the same way about how Two Face was used. He's a guy who could carry an entire film.

But the thing is, for the story they were trying to tell, it worked absolutely perfectly.

Try ignoring him.

 

[The Joker]

Ra's was the main villain in the big scheme of things in Begins, but for the majority of the film, who was the biggest physical threat to Batman, Dawes, and Gotham? Crane.

Crane was a physical threat?

So, if I get my criminal organization to arrange the destruction of a city, and hire you to make the toxin, you'd be a bigger threat than me?

That makes no sense. Explain that logic to me, please.

Uhhh ok, sorry officer. Didnt know I cant post my opinions. Sorry, how can you ever forgive me

Agreed. But is he really dead? I hope not. Two Face is one of my faves.

What needs explanation?

I already said Ra's was the mastermind of the plans. But that doesn't somehow make Crane a non-threat. Who did Batman fight for the majority of the film? Ra's only shows up at the very beginning and the very end.

Personally, I wish they had written around the whole cellphone/sonar angle. It was the only thing that screamed comic book outrageousness to me, and I bet they could have found a better plot device.

 

[magus]

Disappointments:

1. Bale's voice: sometimes it is better than BB and sometimes it is overly forced and takes you out of the movie I bit. I would have preferred a voice closer to the T4 trailer.

2. I felt Two-Face could have had more to do. I loved his look and the story behind the coin and the Joker dialogue with him but I don't think he got enough time.

3. Beating up dogs: Just a little weird

4. Music: Occasionally it would drown out the audio. See Gordon's speech at the end. I loved the soundtrack but sometimes it was a little overplayed.

Overall I loved the movie and still consider it the best comic book movie I have ever seen and one of the best movies in general.

 

[Cmill216]

Agreed. But is he really dead? I hope not. Two Face is one of my faves.

I personally don't want him to be dead, but at the same time, I just don't know if there's anywhere else this Two-Face needs to go.
