The Dark Knight BOF: BAT 2 Update

[Ronny Shade]

somebody should call Keyser

 

[Dark Knight]

Nolan will push it I'm sure - after all, he had to cut some of the Scarecrow scenes in the first film.

Unfortunately....I would have loved to see the other phases of Scarecrow.

If they do borrow from TKJ, please dont use the Batman in the story

 

[Two-Face]

If they do borrow from TKJ, please dont use the Batman in the story

Huh? I don't understand??

 

[raybia]

booo backstory..... yaaaah BEER!!!!!


actually I'm glad they are giving him a backstory, I doubt it means flashbacks, but more as him being a criminal and murder before he's turned into the Joker....... just don't make him sympothetic, even though I got a feeling it's going to mirror "a killing joke" graphic novel.....

Well, I'm not a fan of a backstory but if that is what they are going to do then


PLEASE GIVE US HIS BACKSTORY FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW.

Quoting the Joker from the graphic novel, The Killing Joke, "Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice."

Please Nolan, if this is the route you are going, do it like this.

yay raybia

I dont like how Moore wrote Batman in TLH. His laughing with him at the end of the story still puzzels me so.

You mean TKJ right?

If so, I don't like the ending either.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Yes, I'm not sure why exactly Batman would do that after all that happened......

 

[Mee]

It could be multiple choice backstory ala Killing Joke. Like Batman finds all kinds of clues that point to all kinds of origins and stuff like that.

Bumping my genious.

 

[raybia]

Bumping my genious.

Didn't see that earlier. Sorry for stepping on your toes but you are a genius!

That's what me mum keeps tellin me.

 

[Avernus]

If he was tied with the Joker then ya... but if he ain't... what the hell is the point... an opening sequence of him gettin gcaptured wouldn't do him justice... just make more room for the mobsters or have Batman fight some ordinary thugs at the start if we are soo action deprived

if the Joker was an inmate from Arkham and Crane knows everything about him...then it would fit..

 

[Dark Knight]

Hmmm...

well, since Joker will not make his appearance until the middle of the film. There must be a couple of things that may occur in the first half of movie. Dent will want to catch Batman first...but Batman saves Dent or his wife from being killed by Maroni or his thugs. Jokers voice will be heard doing or planning....or perhaps killing a few people...but his face will not be shown until his first confrontation with Batman in the middle of film.

It's also possible we may get to see Batman tracking Crane down and the interrogating him to see how much he knows about this Joker. If that happens maybe we will get to see a couple of creepier phases of Scarecrow we didn't get to see in Begins? But who knows.....

I like hearing we will be in for a few surprises.....

 

[Seen]

THEN how did bats get his car back, did Gordon just leave it there with the keys hidden in the tail pipe, or did Gordon just take it home and parked it in his garage....

Valet? Tow service?

 

[JokerNick]

Valet? Tow service?

maybe the hot european chicks..... lol

 

[DV8]

Gottam Nolan Rocks!!!!!!

 

[raybia]

You know who actually would have been a perfect Joker?


Christian Bale! Seriously

He could've pulled a Mike Myers and played Joker and Bats.

I can see the movie opening seriously with a man stubbling down an alley while running. He peers up at the roof tops above at screams, "STAY AWAY!" He fires a handgun up into the night air. The camera shows two white eyes in the distance purched on the roof top. The man screams and stubbles into a near by door frantically. We can see the man moving erratically through the factory floor. He hears something move the rafters. The empty clips drop from his gun and hits the floor. He reloads. He runs up a stairwell He hears something again and spins around rapidly and fires several rounds into the darkness. His eyes dart around the room. Sweat is pooring down his face. We can see the man grasping a bag in his hands. We can see gun splates all over his clothes and face. The police barge through the door. The man crouches behind a railing on the catwalk. He sees the a cop moving below.He lets off a few rounds down the cop who takes cover. All of a sudden the gun is knocked from his hand and a Batarang lightley clinks on the floor. The man looks up and can see Batman decending down from the rafters. The man goes to run. Batman throws a batarang at the legs of the man which in tern slices his calf muscle and the man lets out a painful scream. Batman closes in. The man takes a swing Batman. Batman ducks and lands a counter elbow on the mans temple sending over the railing and he falls into a vat of chemicals below. Money from the bag he was carrying flutters through the air. Along with the money we can see a Joker card falling through the air until it lands face up and slowly sinks under the chemical muck. The police scurry up the steps gun drawn and flashlights out. They reach the catwalk to find it empty. (I wouldn't mind the movie starting out like that to be honest and give a little foreshadowing of what happened. Most of the audience would think it was batman just catching a crook until the card is revealed. Then his grand entrance can be made later on in the movie. Just a thought)

man . . . it sounds like this shyt is going to ROCK THE FUACKING HOUSE!!!!

they are sooo nailing this!! It sounds like it's going to be a real detective story . . . Batman slowly uncovers who/what caused the Joker . . . I think that will be the 'backstory' . . . . and the thing about Ledger is RIGHT ON . . . he is going to QQQWWWNNN this role!! I'm stoked now

NO! This will be no retelling of Batman 89 . . .

 

[Mr. Thing]

I dont like how Moore wrote Batman in TLH. His laughing with him at the end of the story still puzzels me so.

Moore wrote TLH?

 

[BmAaTn3625]

in which part was Jack Napier mention, Grissom, or any other aspect of 89 mention. Are there similarties? obviously there are, but the fact is that it is a common origin story for the Joker. I doubt Nolan will slap a red hood on top of the guys head. Not to mention the Joker would not look anything like 89. This is the event that pushes his sanity even more over the edge.
