The Dark Knight The Dark Knight FAQ (Check here first)

[Vs-F-J]

I don't understand how a guy who is 6ft 2" can be too short. Isn't 6ft 7" a little too much?

 

[CConn]

One thing for sure (love him as I might) he's probably still too short.
Did you see in BB how dwarfed he was standing next to Ra's?

You may begin the flaming on me now.

He only appears short when next to Neeson because Neeson's so tall himself. Besides, it's not like Batman's supposed to be the tallest guy ever either. I'm pretty sure Superman's taller than him in the comics (and movies, come to think of it).

put the joker in some platform shoes

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Should we include the supposed official synopsis in the FAQ?

"In The Dark Knight, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker."

Should we include the supposed official synopsis in the FAQ?

Since it came from the official site, I would consider it legit. It should be included.

So Jonathan Nolan is writing the script of TDK, is David Goyer doing anything in this movie? Does Chris Nolan have storyline input in the sequel?

Goyer created the story...Nolan wrote the screenplay.

And a question...will TDK be right after BB? Or a year or so later?

 

[Batman FREAK]

Probably a year or so later...at least close to that anyway. I think a couple weeks or a month had passed by that rooftop meeting at the end of Begins actually.

 

[Stanley Ipkiss]

Do you think they'll show the jokers past at all

 

[Doc Samson]

I'd just like to know, if this sequel does indeed start a few months or years after BB, what in the hell has Batman been doing? The Joker's already robbing banks and doing double homicides by the end of the first movie, I don't think that's the kind of criminal you let slide for a few months is it? Since nolan is really entrenched in his realistic approach, I wonder how it's explained, if at all.

 

[Cobblepot]

We'll see, I just hope he moved into Wayne tower untill Wayne manor is rebuild. Would be a great nod to the 80's.

hes probably been chaseing Joker for awhile by the sequel, well hes been following jokers dead bodies left behind, but has yet to see the Joker. Jokers like Jack the ripper, the city is in a frenzy about these killings, yet no one can catch the guy.

I thought The Killing Joke was pretty tight, and if there was one thing i didn't like about Begins, it was that Batman became aware of the Joker. Through all of his incarnations, Batman was always there when the dude fell into the chemicals and actually became the joker, so is that whole scenario actually even gonna make it's way onto TDK? Are they gonna explain it like that, having Batman be there and everything, is it gonna be flashback, or are they gonna make up some new BS story not really involving Batman? Either way, I know I'm gonna go see the movie and love it ten times as much as Begins, but I really wanna know.

Sorry if this was asked, i didn't wanna look through 27 pages :P

umm... yeah except the FIRST one!

in the first story with joker they didn't know how he was made...

Well there's one way they could do it...........have the Joker as one of the thugs helping Crane pour the chemicals in Arkham Asylum. After Batman showed up he was throwing goons all over the place and it was full of vats and chemical set-ups. There's also plently of scenarios that could have happened in the Narrows, maybe Batman threw Joker into a exploding water main or gas pipe.

bale should wear added heel to his boots like routh's superman!

Yeah that be kinda cool, I even thought if somehow the prison break & the fear toxin had something to do with it that would be ok too. I just think that showing he exists at the end of BB was a cool way to conclude the movie, but opens up a whole bunch of questions depending on the timeline of TDK. Keeping with the realism approach, unless a lot of time based between the final scene at the mansion & him on the rooftop with Gordon, he's only been Batman for a few days...

 

[nightwing07]

no two face yet PLZ
joker is way more important and he needs a complete movie atleast to establish his persona at least to the regular movie goers!
i hope nolan understands this!

That's a really cool idea, apart from the water main or gas pipe bit. A vat of chemicals might bleach your face white (in the comic book world), but I don't see how an exploding water main would do it.

 

[Castigleone]

Thanks for not eating me up, y'all. After all, I've only been reading comics for a few years now, and even though i have hella volumes and tpb's and... whatever, now, I don't know as much as I like to think I do.

Originally Goyer said he'd have the Joker make Dent into Two-Face in the third film, but even if it were a film away, Sal Maroni's been cast, so doesn anyone think Maroni will be throwing the acid? Also, if Crane's back in the movie, does anyone think Falcone's gonna be back, too? He always managed to get out of jail in the comics, it could happen in the film, too.

A bunch of people from Begins were in the Prestige, so does anyone think that, if Harley Quinn actually were to be in any Nolan Batman films, Scarlet J. would actually end up playing her?

 

[Batman2008]

Think we can post a topic to tell dip****s to stop posting fake trailers? sheesh.

 

[Dark52Knight]

Anyone want to fill me in on the Harley situation or the flashback reported on BOF?

 

[strikezone89]

i think they should show the acid being thrown in dents face but not reveal the scarring until the next film

 

[Cristo]

I don't think Dent should even turn into Two-Face in this film. I think he should get the acid thrown in his face in the THIRD film. We need a movie to introduce Dent first, to get us to sympathize with him, attatched to him, all that good stuff. Two-Face's role in the story of Harvey Dent is really the ending of Harvey Dent. It's how he becomes a monster: something he had been trying to fight. It's really a tragic saga that requires two films: to show Harvey's connection with Batman, his connection with Gordon, his slow descent obsession, and finally the staggering act of violence that sends him over the edge.

i think the third film has the potential to be the best out of all of them.
