The Dark Knight The Dark Knight 'Ask A Question'

[Lemenbolle]

Lau called him a freak.

[Fenrir]

You know Batfans have reached a new low when they start asking about logical reasons for The goddamn Joker no less, for killing people.

 

[Doctor Jones]

You never pair 'why' and 'Joker' in the same sentence.

 

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

You never pair 'why' and 'Joker' in the same sentence.

Perfectly put

 

[El Payaso]

You never pair 'why' and 'Joker' in the same sentence.

You just did.

 

[Doctor Jones]

As someone already said, he was trying to kill all the mobs in order to take control.

 

[Beanjuice]

maybe he "cow-coo-lated" something wrong in jokers bank account :P

 

[donk70]

What was the purpose of the Joker hanging out the back of the cop car after he escaped from Jail, and who was driving the car?

 

[The Joker]

Lau ratted on all his clients, remember? He made a deal to sell out his mob clients in exchange for immunity from prosecution and a plane ticket back to Hong Kong. That's why there was all those arrests.

Joker was most likely making an example of him to show what happens to those who double cross their colleagues.

 

[gwynplaine]

1. To give us one of the coolest most iconic shot in the history of cinema.

2. To reinforce the "mad dog" analogy.

3. Probably one of his accomplice who was jailed with him. (not the fat man with the cell phone in his belly though because by then he is in several different places at the same time).

 

[Doctor Jones]

Thank you, Dear Sir.
I love how they call the Joker "the clown".

I love that too. There's something about how he says it that makes them underestimate Joker. But there's something about how he says, it. It's hear dto explain. And you can't help but wonder what he's doing at the time. He's probably thinking, "I told you so."

 

[Doctor Jones]

Which reminds me, when Bats was in Hong Kong, what do you think The Joker was doing?

 

[I Am The Knight]

Which reminds me, when Bats was in Hong Kong, what do you think The Joker was doing?

He was at home, pressing his suit.

 

[Lucius Cipher]

Because Lau was gonna testify against the mob, be granted full immunity, and then leave back to Hong Kong with all of the mob's money. The mob would have killed him anyways, so why not do something cool like, say, setting him on fire atop a giant pile of the money which he loved so much.

EDIT: Joker above me got it.

 

[In a Pickle]

OK, we get why he killed Gambol (the price on his head), we get why he killed Brian Douglas (to show Gotham what he's about), but I still don't get why Joker killed Lau, maybe I'm missing something. Any thoughts?

Yes, you are missing something....the entire film. The whole point of the Joker is that he does these things for the sport of it.

What a stupid question. Thats like asking why was there a dramatic panning shot of the patrol boat traveling down the river in Apocalypse Now.

That shot of Joker hanging out of the cop car has gotta go down in cinema history, the definition of ICONIC.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, God. donk is back? It's been a while. He probably has been making a whole list of what was "wrong" with TDK.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

LOL. Yea I wouldn't be suprised!!

 

[Lemenbolle]

You need something to answer to. He/she needs answers. You need eachother.

 

[Doctor Jones]

You need something to answer to. He/she needs answers. You need eachother.

I'll need him when I'm hanging on the edge of a cliff.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I wouldn't count on him being any use in that situation!!

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, true.

DONK: I'll help you up. But did you like TDK?
ME: OH HELL YES I DID!
DONK: **** YOU!

*drops me*

 

[donk70]

I asked a simple question and I get flamed for it?
