The Dark Knight Joker Intro Description...no Bs

[FlawlessVictory]

^ How did you get the full pic?

 

[Stringer]

if it was the joker without white makeup they wouldve said so

Plus Nolan said in the interview there is no backstory for him at all. Having him without makeup would negate that.

that picture was takin down a few minutes after wizard changed it to the joker in the first issue. I snagged it too before they took it down.

Good point

you've calmed my nerves

I think what Nolan meant by it being a mini-film was that it technically is the first six minutes of The Dark Knight but that he filmed it intending it to be a mini-film to watch before I Am Legend. I think I finally understand what they've been talking about. What has seemed like a contradiction probably isn't so.

Yea as usual I agree with ya Carn.

You going to be on Jow Chat in the morning?

Now I can't wait to go see The Dark Knight next year.
This might be my NEW favorite Batman movie

seriously...baddest f-ckin picture of all time.

 

[Bat-Mite]

Nolan explained to MTV News that the Joker we meet in "The Dark Knight" is fully formed. Don't look for an origin story here. "To me, the Joker is an absolute," he said. "There are no shades of gray to him — maybe shades of purple. He's unbelievably dark. He bursts in just as he did in the comics."

Definitely!

This thread got too long, but incase people think the Wizard pic is the Joker in the opening scene in the bank, that is definately wrong. We already saw him clearly in the spy pics wearing grey and in the IMAX announcement pics where he's behind the screen, he's got the same outfit on and that is the bank scene.

I think people think he's not wearing the makeup because they saw him without it on when he's running in the bank, but obviously they just didn't go through the trouble of having him fully made up for these shots until they needed to shoot him with the mask off.

definitely. this IS the opening minutes of the movie. like a cold opener. this plays, and is separate from the story from the movie most likely. or at least, can be watched separately. but it is the opening of TDK. i can't f-ckin wait for this. i am dyin here.

Yea the Batman pic is from the end of Begins.
And to answer the make up question
well look at the most recent photo (the top one) thats after the masks removed, I guarentee it.

Don't think so, the first IMAX pic that was released is in the bank, he's holding his mask and wearing a different suit.

See?

We posted at the exact same time.


By the way, this also answers the question of whether or not he's wearing make-up in that scene - the answer is yes.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Love it, pure badass. No sympathetic villain here which is refreshing after seeing it all the time with the Spider-Man films.

 

[Bat-Mite]

Yeah, it's about time we had a comic villain you don't feel sorry for, or who doesn't try to redeem himself at the last moment. Villains like that aren't really that villainous. We're finally getting someone that's actually EVIL!

I'm really not into the lines in the dialogue, really cheesey. But the guy the wrote the description is a pretty weak writer and I think (hope) he was paraphrasing and it will all come off better in context.

 

[rpenguin]

The dialogue sounds great.

to anyone who doesn't think so I challenge you to come up with superior dialogue.

Please don't do that. There's nothing more stomach turning than reading fan-fiction.

sometimes the quality of dialogue is highly enhanced by the acting. bruce willis for example can make any line sound awesome. think about the begins dialogue. not oscar worthy in any stretch of the imagination, but most of it sounds really good coming from the mouths of good actors. it's all in the delivery

 

[NoName86]

"Schools out! Time to go!"

ha ****ing wicked! That's downright hilarious to me, and it says a lot about who he will be in the film.

Yea don't worry about him not having the make up on, from what I take Nolan mentions that Joker just bursts onto the scene and he is just there, he is. From the get go he is probably the good old Joker we know and love.

Nah, man. I can't. I have an exam to take and then it's off to the hospital. My dad might be having open heart surgery tomorrow. Either that or a stint. I'm hoping and praying for the stint.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

If the opening frames of "The Dark Knight" are any indication, Batman will have his hands full come June.

Totally agree and I think it'll be much stronger when I actually see it/hear it.

yeah. he also mentioned how he wanted the first time we REALLY see the joker to be as grand as possible. so his big reveal wouldn't be without the white face.

READ THE MTV REVIEW!!!!

Dialogue saved from the Wizard guy's butchering!

It's: Whatever doesn't kill you (pause) makes you STRANGER!"

Thank you Nolans ...WE HAVE A JOKER!!!
