One rumor where I was totally :lmao: that it was true while watching it the first time is Joker going, "Could you just give me a minute?!" while Gordon has him at gunpoint.
 
Only big rumor I can think of is Harley Quinn being in the movie, Joker klilling Scarecrow, him dancing with Rachel, and yeah, Mike Engel iz Riddlerz!!1!!!1
 
There was a whole thread on rumors. One rumor was that Rutger Howard would come back to be Black Mask. Also AMH is Black Mask, and that was based on absolutism nothing. I remember that person being confident that it was true.
 
So what were the biggest rumors that ended up being true? We should list those :funny:
 
oh, and probably the biggest rumor coming true is the 1 about harvey dent becoming 2face. (i still remember when a bunch of us thought that wouldn't happen til the batman 3.)
 
ya know, if heath was still alive i think we'd all be a little more let down about 2face dying than we are now. ya know, cuz of that awesome rumor where movie 3 was about 2faces revenge on the joker for turning him in to 2face. I would have loved to see both villains return (in what would be a roll reversal in a way.)
 
A lot of you guys are going to fry me for this, but I have to let this be known. Let me preface this by saying that I loved 'The Dark Knight', and I felt after watching the first hour of the film, that this was going to be the comic book masterpiece that we have all been waiting for. Unfortunately after the fantastic hospital scene the movie falls prey to the 'old action movie cliche third act.' Yes, the whole ferry boat sequence/hostages in the building/batman having to use that god awful CGI heavy sonar technology was dreadfully executed. And bringing Harvey Dent back as Two-Face was a mistake.

Here's what I would have done to make this film a masterpiece:

During the interrogation scene I would have modified the dialogue to where the Joker hints at 'taking the best person in this city and turning him/her into a savage...when the chips are down, civilized people become animals and won't hesitate to take lives themselves.' Not the entire city, just ONE particular person.

Right after the hospital scene, Dent dissappears - This is the end of Harvey Dent's character - WE DON'T SEE HIM EVER AGAIN!

The Joker makes an announcement on T.V. saying he has Harvey Dent, and a bunch of hostages at an undisclosed location. He wants Batman to confront him ONLY. "If cops show up, I kill the hostages and DENT." He knows Batman is smart enough to find him.

Batman and Alfred, in the bat bunker work together, and do some actual DETECTIVE work to find the Joker's location. (NO CHEESIE TACHNOLOGY) AKA BAT SONAR...

We cut to a DERELICT BUILDING in the DANGEROUS part of the city. It is RAINING. Batman is on the building opposite, scoping the situation with night vision BINOCULARS. He spots hostages on only 3 FLOORS. The rest of the building is completely EMPTY. The middle THREE FLOORS are housing the hostages - they are BOUND AND GAGGED.

Batman enters the building...makes his way to the middle three floors - IT'S A LONG WAY UP. The hostages see Batman and start trying to say something...but it's not audible due to the gags. Batman suddenly hears whimpering and crying coming from a room - a WOMAN or a CHILD'S VOICE crying out - "Help! - Please Help us!" Batman kicks the door open - There is nothing in the room except for a RECORDING/PLAYING DEVICE playing an audio tape - "HELP! - PLEASE HELP US!" There is a message on paper taped to the device that reads: 'GOTCHA!' There is a digital countdown clock above the device: 5 SECONDS...4 SECONDS... Batman looks to the hostages - 3 SECONDS... 2 ... - Batman has no time - he crashes through the office window and out of the building ...falling - his wings go rigid, CATCHING THE WIND - BOOM!! The windows of the middle THREE floors EXPLODE OUTWARDS, FLAMES SHOOTING OUT. The impact of the explosion throws BATMAN downward - He lands hard on the opposite building, SHAKEN. He looks up at the DERELICT BUILDING...The middle of the building is completely destroyed...BURNING. IN FLAMES.... IN THE SHAPE OF THE BAT SYMBOL. Batman looks up at the BURNING SYMBOL - The Joker has set him up.

EXT. CITY STREETS - NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)

Three squad cars all in a line, sirens flashing, make their way down the street.

INT. GORDON'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Gordon watches television, concerned. On Screen: Engel is reporting.

ENGEL: Due to a miscommunication during the evacuation of Gotham General, there is still no word on the whereabouts of Harvey Dent. The Joker's threat... - this just coming in - Let's go live (aerial footage of the DERELICT BUILDING) The Bat symbol BURNING. Engel reports that the hostages are dead, nothing is quite clear ,etc. Looks as if Batman has left his mark on the building - ETC.

There is a knock at Gordon's door. Gordon looks out the window: squad cars are outside. Gordon's wife goes to answer the door, keeping the chain on . At the door: a Police officer. The Police officer kicks the door in, knocking Gordon's wife to the ground. The Police officer steps into the light....The Joker disguised as a cop...

The Joker then continues to make his point, shooting Gordon's wife in front of him...the kids hide. The Joker takes Gordon with him.

The Joker takes Gordon to a location, gives him the opportunity of KILLING HIM, Gordon almost breaks, But Batman is there in time to whisper in the ear of Gordon. Gordon,sobbing, doesn't kill the joker. The Joker is disappointed. Batman kicks his ass in a final scene.

Because of the building incident, DETECTIVE BULLOCK gives orders to take Batman into custody... Gordon knows Batman is innocent...Batman flees ....' A Dark Knight'.....the END.


This would have been PERFECT. NO CGI. NO BATPOD FLIP, and this film would have been VYING FOR BEST PICTURE ... TOO BAD NOBODY HAD THE SENSE TO GO AGAINST THE NORM AND HAVE An intimate ENDING. OH, WELL!
