The Dark Knight Biggest Disappointment

[Anita18]

That being that no matter who you are, I'll save if to the fullest extent that my abilities will allow.

That and it also shows the trust he has in Gordon to do the right thing. I mean, in any other superhero movie, Bruce would have tried to find a way to stop Joker (despite not knowing where he is, LOL) or attempted to defuse one of the hospitals, but instead he goes to save Reese, because he knows that Reese's life is in the most immediate danger. He trusts that Gordon, being the head of the police force, will organize the evacuation and empty the hospitals in time.

I can't wait to get 'The Dark Knight' on DVD. When I get it, i'm gonna edit out the batpod flip, most of the POV sonar, and some two-face...and it will be a prefect film! Hope my editing skills are good enough!

 

[fabman]

LOL @ fan-edits. It's good at improving its own editings skills, but why would you want to butcher a flick like that? Just enjoy it for what it is.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

LOL Yea are you a better director than Nolan?

 

[Mr. Earle]

let me pass on a disappointment from a friend of mine from another board:

Lol, I don't need to think tactically and outsmart them, I can see through walls!" Not to mention the fact that as soon as he figured out the hostage trick, he could have just radioed Gordon and told him, and he would have called off the SWAT team.

He is right...

The story behind the bat-pod flip up the wall:


EXT. CHICAGO STREETS - NIGHT

Chris Nolan, Christian Bale (as Batman), and the crew are finishing filming the batpod/Joker truck chase scene.

CHRIS NOLAN: Okay, guys, we're almost done. We just need to film the part where The bat-pod heads in the direction of The Joker.

CREW MEMBER: Sounds good.

CHRIS NOLAN: Is there a bathroom near by?

CREW MEMBER: Oh, yeah. (points) Just there in that coffee shop.

CHRIS NOLAN: Thanks. I'll be back in a minute. Then we can finish up the scene.

The crew hangs around, waiting for Nolan to return. A few minutes later.... Joel Schumacher (in waist coat and blazer), disguised as Chris Nolan, makes his way to the set. The crew members can't tell.

JOEL SCHUMACHER (in bad English accent): Oh, cheerio, lads! Now, where are we?

CREW MEMBER: The bat-pod heads for the Joker, remember?

JOEL CHUMACHER: Oh! Right-eeo!

Joel looks at the bat-pod - his eyes trail from the pod.....to a wall.

JOEL SCHUMACHER: OH, I have a smashing idea!!! Let's have this so called bat-pod climb up the wall, do a 180, and land back down. And then have it head for the Joker! It will be sexy, provocative, and completely illogical!

The crew members looked puzzled.

CREW MEMBER: (Under his breath) That's the dumbest ****ing thing i've ever heard.

JOEL SCHUMACHER: What was that?

CREW MEMBER: Nothing...

JOEL SCHUMACHER: You'll do what i say! I'm Christopher Nolan!

The crew members go ahead and create one of the dumbest, most illogical scenes in cinema history.

INT. COFFEE SHOP - NIGHT (MOMENTS LATER)

A crew member opens a stall to take a piss - he finds Chris Nolan, passed out, beaten, bound, gagged, and missing his waist coat and blazer on the floor of the bathroom.

DISSOLVE TO:

Joel Schumacher's face staring, laughing into the camera.

END.

I think by that time, Gordon had already left to find his family. The SWAT were already going up the stairs - it was already too late.

 

[Verdammt]

- it was already too late.

It wasn't too late for the single-handed butt-whooping they got from Batman. Methinks the Gotham MCU S.W.A.T. team really needs to go back through training.

Then again, they probably never trained to take down just one man.......a Batman.

I thought about that too, but then again it was going by so fast, Batman had to move quickly. Snipers were this close to shooting some of the hostages already. I really wish he would have at least tried to yell at one of them "The goons are hostages you idiot!" *punch!*

That would have been the smart thing to do and probably would have saved him time....and energy. Then again, Batman isn't known for his verbal communication skills. I think he subscribes to the don't speak and wield a closed fist line of philosophy.

 

[Bat-Mite]

Am I the only guy that didn't think the batpod turning off the wall was stupid and unrealistic? I mean, that thing was all wheels, I didn't esactly expect it to crash when it hit the wall, ya know what I mean?

Nah, I'm with you on that. I actually liked it. I mean, I can see why people are throwing a fuss about it, but it didn't ruin the movie for me by any means, and I think comparisons to the batmobile driving up the wall in BF are unjustified.

 

[Harrygucha]

Nolan is great...but i'm better. You'll hear of me soon enough.

He calls Gordon and says I have the Joker's location. So why didn't he just call Gordon and tell him the clowns are the hostages instead of telling Lucius Fox that???????????????

Gordon did jump the gun and didn't give Batman the 5 minutes he asked for. Maybe that cheesed him off, so he wanted to teach Gordon's goon squad a lesson in vigilante etiquette.

A little ambition in ya...

You've got some issues man......

 

[Jack O Lantern]

Yes because the Academy will be agitated by that. Come on, they voted Million Dollar Baby the best movie of the year! That overrated piece of crap!

The fact of the matter is that you re watching a movie about batman. He beats crooks, ties them up and the police takes them to prison. If you are so concerned about realism, then you should start with the memory cloth cape, the fact that the bad guys always miss, the fact that they conveniently failed to hit the tumbler where it hurts (the tyres), etc. Relax and enjoy the masterpiece man!

See this is what annoy's me. Everyday you come to these boards, the Batman on or otherwise, you have to go through posts calling this film a masterpiece, that recreated the genre, that is more than a comic book film. The second you point outa plot hole it's all "It's a Batman film dude, lighten up." I'm sorry but you can't have it both ways.

Another problem is that there is no explaination about Gordons death. We don't why he did it, he claims it was to protect his family but The Joker had made no attempt or threat on anybodies famillies, or how he did it. The scene is bascially this, "Jim, I thought you died." "Nope"

So posting it again hoping to get responses?
I'll bite, I didn't find it funny.

 

[JaD]

Why are you posting that nonsense again?

 

[Harrygucha]

The only reason why this film is being held to such close scrutiny is because it is a classic. I love this film, but i'm gonna let my little annoyances be known: BAt-pod flip, sonar, and too much two-face.

It's not supposed to be funny. It really happened.

 

[CaptainClown]

We all have our gripes with the movies. Even the hardcore fans admit they have problems with some aspects of it.

 

[batman11]

Is that the reason why you post it multiple times in threads here (some of which don't pertain to your disappointment), even if you have to bring up the topic yourself?
