The Dark Knight Most overanalyzed issue of Dark Knight

Six versus Ten followed by Dent's fate when it clearly states he's dead in the script, and that one interview with Eckhart.

Six versus Ten followed by Dent's fate when it clearly states he's dead in the script, and that one interview with Eckhart.

After I watched the movie I thought he was still alive. I was almost sure of it (at least leaving it open for the possibility of a return). When I saw the script it sucked to read it, but I guess people are still debating it or what?

 

[Goodfellas]

He definetley says 10 becuase i just watched it because i downloaded it and he clearly says 10

Besides why would he repeat 6?i mean we all know that the joker is a liar so why would he agree with him and say 6 it doesnt make sense..

 

[JaD]

I thought the 6/10 debate was a joke to be honest with you. I never even bothered posting in there. Apparently it was as big as the "Five dead, two of them cops" question.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

the six "ten" deal

 

[Morg]

Should had ignore him Goodfellas, now you both getting a infraction

 

[Blader5489]

When the cop says to the Joker 'you killed six of my friends', in the interrogation room, and the Joker mouths back 'six' to mock him, some fools think he says 'ten'.

Wtf

 

[JaD]

Wtf

It's pretty silly, but at the same time epic and unforgettable.

i'm a little confused with the "5 dead, 2 of them cops" issue... can someone explain?

The identities of the 5 people dead Gordon mentions in the end of the film after Dent dying. After Dent dies they realize if the public finds out that he killed 5 people then Gotham would just go bonkers. Just who exactly that line refers to. "Five dead, two of them cops"

Wow, did I just use the word "bonkers"?

I think I did.

 

[Bubastis]

What are the "5 dead 2 of them cops" and "Bales Build" issues?

 

[superadam87]

Are you guys talking about this 6 vs 10 thing?

Where Joker does this?

 

[JaD]

Yeah. Clearly he needs to grit his teeth to pronounce "ten" right? Am I right or am I right?

 

[.:TheDarkKnight]

It's not Dent killing the 5 people, it's the 5 people that died that Gordon referred too, and the fact that Dent did kill people.

1. Commissioner Loeb
2. Judge Surrillo
3. Rachel Dawes
4. Wuertz
5. Maroni

I have no idea why, but this pic made me LOL

I don't think he actually said anything.

He just mouthed a gesture... the gesture being... "oops, you don't say." type of thing. Like a cocky gesture.

At least that's how I interpreted it.

 

[Sawyer]

The whole 6 vs. 10 debate actually ruined that moment in the movie for me.

????

yes.

 

[superadam87]

yes.

So where's the confusion???

5 dead, 2 cops (Wuertz and Commiss)

 

[superadam87]

I must admit, the whole after party, "WHERE DID JOKER GO?" did kind of bug me. They could've added a little something to it.

Cops were coming or Batman grapples back and then cut to: Joker gang fleeing in the car.

I dunno, just something.

 

[.:TheDarkKnight]

People thought that they were saying Dent killed 5 people.

 

[JaD]

It's not Dent killing the 5 people, it's the 5 people that died that Gordon referred too, and the fact that Dent did kill people.

More than 5 people died in the movie altogether. They were talking about the 5 people that Dent killed. They were standing over him and talking about what he had done. If they were referring to everyone who died in the film it'd be more like 24 dead, 12 of them cops or something (Loeb, Judge Surillo, Wuertz, Lau, Rachel, 2 cops in apartment, cops in the hospital, Maroni, the helicopter pilots during the chase, and so on and so on.) It's all referring to Dent in that scene.

Just read the thread, or ask Nolan yourself, I'm not sure if they came to a conclusion yet.

At least that's how I interpreted it.

I agree with that, but it's without a doubt him gesturing/mouthing the word itself. I didn't question what he was actually mouthing when I saw the movie, and I haven't questioned it since haha

So the Joker is psychic then? Because that scene is before harvery becomes two face. And the Joker says "you let 5 people die". Gordon was talking about those 5 people, obviously the joker killed others, but he wasn't referring to EVERYone.
