The Dark Knight Rachel and Harvey's locations

[kyuubijavi1]

Joker gave the wrong directions Batman was after Rachle while the cops where after Dent. He flipped them around to mess with both harvey and Bat's head

I enjoyed how one of the streets was cicero. A little nod to chicago.

I caught that too!

Exactly, and I had a feeling Dent knew what had happened when Batman showed up to rescue him knowing that batman would be the first one there, then when dent saw batman come in he knew that maggie was a goner hence him screaming NOOOOOO! Thats the way I see it, Joker gave him the adress for Rachel but actually it was where Dent was. And I think batman having no feelings was because he just then realized what the joker did.

 

[Perdition]

it seemed like he went for dent the entire time...

I'm pretty sure the idea behind giving Batman the wrong addresses is so that whoever he deems more worthy of saving or decides to help, he ends up going after the other one... Just one more joke.

Exactly.

Nope. Gordon asks which one he's going after and he says "Rachel" just as he's jumping on the Batpod. Then Gordon yells out the address Joker gave for Dent and tells all his officers to get going.

Dent knew that Batman would choose Rachel, and when Batman showed up, he yelled out "NOOO!" because he already believed that Rachel would be saved and Dent would be the one to die.

Batman never had a chance to act surprised. He saw Harvey instead of Rachel and grabbed him up instead. What was he going to do? Stand there and cry. He was in the moment, if he can't save both of them, he's going to atleast save one of them. If Batman wasted anymore time him and Harvey would be in "seperate locations".

Joker definitely switched the addresses. It doesn't make sense for Bats to change his mind like that en-route to saving Rachel.. besides, if he's all "She's waiting for me, Alfred".. why would he let her die like that...Doesn't make sense

Joker wants Dent to live, because he wants to (if Dent lives, and Rachel dies) prove to Gotham that even the greatest of men fighting the crime in Gotham can be turned to evil... That's what the whole end speech was all about between Joker and Bats.. He (Joker) knew that if Dent lived and Rachel was gone, that would be a huge burden on Dent, and of course the Joker would exploit that and try to turn him to evil...which he did...Remember, "...like gravity, sometimes we all need a little push..."

Once Bats got to the location in which he thought was Rachel, yes he realized that it was the wrong place. You expect him to turn around and try to get to the other address? hell no, since he's there and Gordan and the rest of the cops are at the other location saving Dent (but really Rachel), he made the quick decision to get Dent out fast... That's why you hear Dent yelling No! all the time while Bats was trying to save him. They all wanted Rachel to be saved, but they were in a situation in which they couldn't change that.

I don't know if you've seen other movies with interrogation rooms, but they do have microphones and the people outside the room can hear what's going on inside.. That's how Gordan was able to know the other address.. I know that's a common sense thing, but it sounded like some people were unsure as to how Gordan got one of the addys....
