The Dark Knight The Dark Knight 'Ask A Question'

[mrbrownie]

I don't think I've heard that, but you've posted it several times already, and not just in the manips thread.

Batman and Joker's faces are fairly recognizable even when blurred. Harvey Dent's face is not, which is most likely why they opted to keep it in focus.

Hmm... Not satisfied, but thanks for the answer. Just 3 times, I plan to edit the ones were it was ignored, I was excited because I thought it may be something from the ARG or I don't know, a nod maybe, that I've missed and it was already known.

Definitely not from the ARG, and even if it was, what kind of puzzle would that lead to? Oooh, Harvey Dent's face is in focus...now what?

And here I thought you were one of the nicest in the boards

I don't know, as careful as the marketing, especially in the design of the posters and whatnot, was on each detail, I find it interesting that in a poster which has 3 main characters, just two have the same presentation and the 3rd one is different. Especially the one with duality issues. But it's ok, I prefer to try and find out a possible meaning to my mental charades and be mocked than not ask. Good day..."but Feeez".. I said Good Day!.

Hey, do you guys remember that fan made comic we had here a while ago? Does anyone know where that thread is? I would very-much like to read it again.

 

[CaptainClown]

which fan made comic? You do realize that is like going to Hot Topic and asking for something in black. There are the recreation comics of Bubba gump, the group project, the weird tellings of Captainclown, Vicious or Banes godly small segments, etc etc etc. You have to be a bit more specific dear. Do you mean the one about Mr. freeze that was written by lucha?

 

[thedarks0ldier]

This one was a big group project. The first page had picture of the joker's eye's and a red batman as his smile.

I never claimed I was nice - I claim I'm fair, but since you weren't satisfied with my answer, there you go.

I know someone who worked on the ARG, and trust me, they wouldn't put that as a clue.

SEVERE factual error in TDK:

When Harvey Dent decided to prosecute the entire mob based on the "RICO" act, (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), his ENTIRE prosecution would have ended up at the Federal Court and its jurisdiction. Most importantly, Dent was a District Attorney, not a US Attorney and he shouldn't have been allowed to do that.

Here is an excerpt commentary: -Link-

A bit of education: RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) is a US federal law. That means HAD that been the case that Harvey chose to pursue that path, he would have to hand over the entire case to a FEDERAL court, taking it completely out of his hands to prosecute - his jurisdiction was at a city level for Chicago (I mean Gotham). He was not a federal prosecutor. If he was, he would be referred to in the movie as a United States Attorney. If some want to argue semantics that he was a federal attorney and merely referred to as a District Attorney, that argument will fail because such positions are appointed by the President of the United States. They are not elected to that position, as is the case with Harvey Dent (it’s pretty clear in both the viral marketing and election context of the movie).

Interesting. But i'm sure the Nolans knew that, probably expect us to suspend our disbelief or something.

 

[hatebox]

Well, I can't see many people losing sleep over that....

I'm gonna lose sleep over the notion that some people have about Anita18's niceness*





*yeah I just made up a word

 

[JaD]

Tee hee, why the edit Bat101?

So that's where you get all these wonderful questions then huh? :P

What kind of notions?

 

[Batmayne]

Could someone explain to me why Jim Gordon's son was completely uneffected by his father's return from the dead? When Gordon goes back home to his family, he goes into his son's room and, upon waking him, is greeted with....not "OMG, YOU'RE ALIVE?!" but..."Did Batman save you, daddy?"

Huh?

Oh well that link explains a lot now.

Huh?

It is possible Gordon Jr. knew about what his dad was doing.

 

[Anita18]

Or maybe he was tired. Or maybe it didn't even register that his dad was actually dead, because Batman's always around to save him, right?

 

[CaptainClown]

well he didn't seem phased when he found out his dad was dead so either this kid is emotionally dead, extremely confident in batmans abilities or knew his dad wasn't dead. Hell maybe his mother didn't even tell the kid.

Here's a news flash... nobody cares. Unless they're studying to be a lawyer or something, and even then, I doubt this little movie's going to bug them that much, considering that all the law themed dramas on TV probably stretch stuff the same way all the time.

And.. pssst.. it's a comic book movie. Have you seen the things that lawyers, DA's, judges, and even POLICE have pulled in comic books? Really. And don't give me that 'TDK is supposed to be realistic!' baloney. The movie's even less realistic than Batman Begins was.

 

[Anita18]

I think James knew what his mom was upset about, but didn't truly believe it.

My boss was telling us that he saw Silkwood over the weekend, where Meryl Streep works at a nuclear facility. The characters in that movie handle plutonium, then ate cake while still wearing their gloves. His girlfriend was like over his constant .

Needless to say, in real life you never ever touch food with gloves on. You don't even touch your face with gloves on, so...yeah.

and I think the kid will one day be Robin (sarcasm) but the world will never know as this won't be addressed just theorized about.

This article makes it sound as though individual states have enacted their own RICO statutes: http://thelaborers.net/court_cases/rico_explanation.htm

ETA: Here's page 2 of a book on Google that says "Although federal criminal RICO prosecutions must receive prior approval from the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the Department of Justice, in most states RICO prosecution can be initiated without any centralized review, often by any district attorney." So maybe Dent's prosecution was legal after all.

Here's the link (I hope this works): http://books.google.com/books?id=9r...a=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result#PPA2,M1

OR...this is a pretty big screw up on Nolan's part? That's more likely. And Captain Clown, I don't buy that James knew what Jim was doing if Jim didn't even tell Barbara what he was doing.

Also, what is the kid referring to with the line, "Did Batman save you, daddy?" Save him from what?

*sigh*

It is possible that Barbara refused to tell her son exactly what happened to his dad. Perhaps she was still in denial herself (it couldn't have been many days at all). May be her explanation to him was simply, "daddy's in some trouble, and he won't be here for a while", until she could bring herself to tell him what happened to Gordon.

The kid was Benjamin Gump.
