The Dark Knight How did Joker leave the...

[Hayabusa]

Uhmmm. Joker drank too much champagne and had to use the bat room?

 

[Aidan2209]

I'm still confused by it. Joker had already identified who his victims would be with the DNA from the playing card. So why also kill two random people just for Harvey Dent? Why didn't he also kill two random people to point to the judge and Loeb?

Harvey Dent was his sole target after Loeb and Serillo had been taken care of and he'd failed to kill Dent at the penthouse.

 

[The Guard]

How was Joker somehow burning firetrucks, loading thousands of places with barrels of explosives

I assume his hired gang did it.

The ferry thing is a bit of a plothole. I've never in my life seen a National Guard-designated boat leave without some kind of an inspection. And for no one to notice HUNDREDS of barrels of explosives rigged? Two of them? Two of them designed to take people to SAFETY? A bit hard to swallow.

But so is an entire city evacuating after The Joker kills a few people.

Logic seemed to go out the window for the screenwriters of this movie in the favor of getting right to the drama.

I got a question: What does the Joker do to the two guys on either side of him on the pool table, stab them, jimmy tap them?

 

[TheBat812]

The main plothole is that Batman never ever follows up on it. There's a madman threatening his guests...and the movie just never deals with it. That IS a plothole, whether you want to believe it or not, and a sizeable one.

THat isn't a plot hole, that's them deciding that seeing Batman go back up to the penthouse and realizing the Joker has fled is completely unnecessary and implied anyways. Almost everything on riskproductions list can be explained or was implied. Just watch the movie again.

i was hoping there was more to that party than what we saw on film. truth to be told the entire movie, lengthy as it was, seemed to have suffered from the too-much-cutting syndrome and now has plot holes because of it.

I seriously felt the same way, at times too much was crammed in.
As for the Joker himself;
The Joker just is, he doesn’t need explaining, his motives just are.

Another thing that disapointed me was the origin of Harvey's "flip". Why did he feel the need to flip the coin to make a decesion. I guess WB didn't want any child abuse stories.

-How Gordon faked his death
-How Bruce somehow used a fingerprint to get to a room overlooking the funeral
-How Joker escaped from the interrogation room
-Whatever happened to Lau
-WHY BATMAN DIDNT GO BACK AFTER JOKER IN PENTHOUSE
-How did Maroni and associates get released, now in nightclub
-How Harvey escapes hospital
-Why Harvey shoots driver
-How did Harvey escape flipped car, what happens to Maroni
-They showed Tumbler completely exploding, then it is intact entirely for him to escape in pod
-How was Joker somehow burning firetrucks, loading thousands of places with barrels of explosives
-Why didnt ferry people realize they were sitting on explosives


Ok now listen. I REALIZE all these elements AREN'T NECESSARY to be in the film, and I also realize many things were cut to save time. All I am saying with these gripes are "Man it would've been nice to see these parts" rather than "These parts were missing, the film sucks". I loved the film, Im merely saying parts I would've LIKED to see. Just as one poster says that car scene was in the film of Joker leaving penthouse, it just got CUT. Therefore, him escaping WAS thought of in the script, probably just some WB exec figured that was something to cut because it wasnt absolutely necessary. Film was a masterpiece ya'll, I really wish you'd stop calling me an idiot and such, im just posing some questions.

No, I guarantee you it was cut by Nolan for better pacing and structure. That scene would have been nice, but he explains the same principle later in the film anyways. Nice to see the scene? Sure. but to actually put it in the movie would have diminished the quality of the final product.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Penthouse? How did he get away? Batman landed with Rachel and then what, walked away? Wasnt Joker still up their with the guests?

"We are tonight's entertainment!" :

He probably realized Harvey wasn't there and left. There was really no need to show it.

Right. Looked around a bit, couldn't find him, so he left. No big deal. Someone pointed this out as a big huge inexcusable mistake but.. come on

 

[samsnee]

But if you'll remember Bruce hid Harvey in a room, and then put a bar through the handles so he couldn't get out. Now, if I'm the Joker, and I'm walking around looking in rooms, and see a door where it looks like someone's locked in, I'm probably going to check it out.

Also bothered me that Bruce BLATANTLY let that man and woman who were fooling around see him go into his secret passage.

But so is an entire city evacuating after The Joker kills a few people.

and they grounded all U.S. flights and evacuated lower Manhattan once because 3 planes crashed.
