The Dark Knight Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

[BubbaGump]

It's common knowledge by now that Joker and his goons wear clown masks, each represented as one of the seven dwarfs (Happy, Dopey, Grumpy...). As far as we know, the masks are worn during the bank robbery sequence as well as the scene at Bruce Wayne's penthouse.

However, could there be a deeper meaning to the masks? Could they play an important part in the story--even as a symbolic device? Is Joker really permawhite?

In the tradition of SuperHeroHype over-analysis, I present to you...

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Yet Another BubbaGump Theory Thread (How does he come up with these things??)

Practically everyone has seen or read the story as children, but for those who need refreshing, go no further than Snow White's wiki article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White#Story

Now the story proves very interesting. In TDK, the queen can be represented by the Mob or more specifically: Sal Maroni, who is jealous or threatened by Joker's rapid rise through the Gotham underworld (Snow White's beauty).

Wanting to get rid of this threat, Maroni hires someone to kill Joker.

The Queen was jealous, and ordered a huntsman to take Snow White into the woods to be killed. She demanded that the huntsman return with Snow White's heart as proof. The huntsman took Snow White into the forest, but found himself unable to kill the girl. Instead, he let her go, and brought the queen the heart of a young deer or a pig.

For the sake of continuity, I like all my threads to tie in to each other ...

As you can see, Maroni may plant a traitor to kill Heath Ledger (as shown in the link).

However (and this is a big however), in the story, the dwarfs SAVE Snow-White countless times. The Joker's goons may help him out after he gets shot, and would also help him wreak revenge on the mob for scarring him.

Now this is all speculation, but I thought it had some interesting connections. Then again, it could all turn out to just be bogus imaginative thinking and a tendency to overanalyze and butcher things to death brought on by a lack of TDK news.

But the biggest question of all remains...could Joker really be "Snow White" as in...Perma-white?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Problem is its Batman who scars Joker.

The zipline theory? Not confirmed.

 

[sasquatchs]

How does Maroni hiring the Joker to deal with the Batman problem fit into this?

 

[Axtech]

While I think your Maroni -> Queen connection may be a bit of a stretch, I really like the thought that the goons being the seven dwarves is a big hint at the Joker being perma(snow)white

So who's prince charming?

ITB.

Brilliant.

 

[Stringer]

Where does Batman fit into this? I like the theory though

 

[ronzpeed]

ITB.

Hell no!





Seriously, maybe Harvey Dent represents Prince Charming.

 

[I-T-B]

ITB.

You bet your belly button, Chuckles.


And may I just say, this thread is sheer brilliance! Way to think outside the box.

Surprisingly Bubba, your very theory has crossed my mind. You just have more time on your hands.

I've said since day one that I had a gut feeling the Joker was perma-white in TDK. I have no idea why, but I'm sticking to my guns. And this whole Snow White bit could only make that possibility more probable, if you're willing to buy it. So I'm with ya.

 

[Castlewood]

The more I think about this, and Michael Caine's words.... Heath's Joker is really starting to scare the hell out of me. He's gonna be a scary sonofa*****, isn't he?

Seriously, look at him with that mask on... There's something going on inside that mask... in those eyes... Heath is gonna be creepy as hell.

I thought about it during Chem and I wrote it down.

 

[SimpleHero82]

Wasn't it brought up to that the mask Heath wears is pretty much identical to the one worn by ceasar romero? there's a picture somewhere where it shows both side by side! The board is so extensive I don't feel like looking.

Good lord people, don't try looking for a deeper meaning, will ya????

Just enjoy the movie, for chrissakes

Does it really need to be over analized by a bunch of fanboys?

OMG I THINK I SEE SOMETHING IN THE JOKER'S EYE!!!

Yes, cuz it adds to the fun! :heart:

That is instant siggage right there.

Never question a BubbaGump Theory Thread!

The Maroni-Queen reference was just thrown in there. What I really wanted to convey was the fact that the seven dwarfs might actually be hinting about Joker's true perma-whiteness.

Where does Batman fit into this? I like the theory though

As of right now, this is more of a Joker theory.

The more I think about this, and Michael Caine's words.... Heath's Joker is really starting to scare the hell out of me. He's gonna be a scary sonofa*****, isn't he?

Seriously, look at him with that mask on... There's something going on inside that mask... in those eyes... Heath is gonna be creepy as hell.

He was probably sweaty under the mask.
