The Dark Knight The ending of The Dark Knight

[Mr. Vice]

The ending should have the "death" of Harvey Dent and the "birth" of Two-Face.

i rock

[The Fallen]

That's my only major problem with the Burton films.
He had a need to kill off every villian. and completely change their back story, but let's leave that for another thread.

Amd the SM films follow suit as well GG and DocOck.... DEAD!

 

[Eros]

Rachael Dawes wakes up in her bed, and then she hears someone in her shower. Rachael goes to the shower, and then a naked Bruce Wayne walks out. Rachael hugs him, and tell him she had a bad dream , and the joker killed her in this dream. Bruce then winces at her, and then holds her tight and asks "Whos the Joker?"

credits rolls lol.....

well not sure who it was but loved the idea someone posted awhile ago of it ending with the joker throwing the acid into harveys face and batman/bruce wayne saying :"i can still hear his screams" (or something to that matter) while the screen fades black,,,i think this i great..but since they said he would get scarred in this move then....:

I was thinking after joker is caught, he gets send to AA where he meets Harleen Quinzel(however u spell it) and you can slowly in between scenes at the end of the movie/as movie is ending (like cut to batman brining down penguin or whatever) he starts getting her trust and love and in small cut-scenes show them communcating more and more and at the end have batman talking to Harvey and Gordon on a rooftop with them being optomistic and leaving the movie (seem likes its ending) on a good point with the trial coming up, then cut to joker asking Harley (in a homocidal yet trying to act sweet way) if she brought it and Harleen (she doesnt turn in Harley,not yet atleast) give him something (and have her say something with the word muffin in a "trying to please" him voice to which the joker frowns) and the final shot is Joker saying "good harley,,good" and the camera pans down to show him holding a bottle of acid. He could also make some bad homocidal joke i guess.

*shrug*

Until we get to Harvey Dent, who takes his hand off his face for a split second (still screaming) to reveal---fade to black. Cue in Bruce's "I will never forget the sound of his screams". Credits.

Ideally, of course. Chances are they won't go with a transition ending like that.

I don't think they would either. It's too much of a cliffhanger ending a la Matrix Reloaded and POTC2, or to some extent, the LOTR trilogy. You need to watch the third one in order to fill in what's happening in the second. In that vein, the second one is always lacking. I think they would rather have TDK stand alone as a movie like BB did. BB managed to have a sense of closure AND a sense of continuity by the end - it's really amazing, the way they did that. It's been the only starting movie of a trilogy that had that kind of feeling for me. It felt whole, yet if they had the second one ready to go, I would have sat through and watched it right then and there.

I think TDK could possibly do a throwback to BB by having a villain foreshadowing as part of the last scene - Harvey flipping a coin, perhaps? Something subtle like that, but of course all of us fanboys/girls would be squealing up and down the aisles.

another reason for me to not like them.
but we never actually see Doc Ock die, we just see him sink, but that doesn't mean he died.
And Osborne has died in the comics, so that was ok.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

I hope it never ends...

Nice.

 

[Zooks]

i would love some sort of The Long Halloween like ending where a bunch of the supervillains (Joker, Scarecrow, Penguin, etc.) threaten an established mobster of the old Gotham days, but maybe that can wait till the third movie to show Two Face lead the new villains on. The scene with Falcone in TLH was sweet.

 

[nolan's roll'n]

Okay, here's an idea:

The final scene is The Joker in his jail-cell, just before he's escorted out to the court-house for his trial. Flass (or some other corrupt clown) heads towards his cell.

FLASS: Hey, clown.

The Joker looks at Flass as he pulls something out of his overcoat--a "antacid bottle."

FLASS: From my employer--to take out a mutual enemy.

The Joker grins, walks over to Flass, and grabs the bottle.

*Cut to black.*

That would be cool.

 

[The Englishman]

I think we should see Bruce returning to the Cave,ripping off his mask, destroying some of his equipment, telling Alfred that he's quit as Batman and then breaking down in tears with Alfred comforting him after the Death of Rachel then the credits roll.

In the third he can witness the scarring of Dent by being in court as either Bruce or in disguise (TLH) and then returning as Batman, vowing to save his only remaining friend...

 

[The Top Hat]

Hospital carpark: Gordon leaves the hospital and as he is getting into his car, Batman comes out from hiding.

Batman: How's Dent?
Gordon: The leftside of his face is damaged pretty badly, they're not sure if there's a lot they can do. But for now they're pretty worried about his psychological state, this whole thing's messed him up pretty badly.

Camera moves upwards to show the side of the hospital, cut to Hosptial room...

Hosptial room: Dent is lying in bed with half his face bandages up, he picks up a coin from the table next to his bed and starts flipping the coin between his fingers...

Fade to Arkham: A heavily restrained Joker is sitting on a chair at the end of a table. A young blonde psychiatrist enters and sits down and says "Hello, my name is Dr. Harleen Quinzell, and I'm here to try and help you..." Then we see a shot of the Joker smiling and the screen fades to black.

That wouldn't fly with general audiences because nobody outside of us Batman fans knows the significance of the Harleen Quinzel thing. Still, if it wasn't for that, it would make a decently cool ending (though I do believe the last moment of THE DARK KNIGHT should be, well, the Dark Knight himself).

That said, I think those expecting Harvey Dent to be scarred during the events of the THE DARK KNIGHT will be sorely disappointed.

What do you mean?

 

[Agentsands77]

What do you mean?

I mean it's exceedingly unlikely. Not only has Goyer previously said that Dent will be scarred in the third film, but the chances that Nolan would cram the Harvey Dent/Two Face arc into his already bound-to-be-crowded film are slim.

And even if he did put the Harvey Dent downfall material in THE DARK KNIGHT, it would undoubtedly be so shortchanged because it wouldn't be able to be given the focus it deserves.

i think theyll defiently wait for the scaring of two face until 3.

See I dont think so. Think about it - if they really want Harvey Dent's scarring to be really tramatic, it needs to be a surprise. Most comic fans of course will no D.A. Dent's fate as soon as we see him - the normal movie audience will not. If they hold it off until 3 then you are going to have to have trailers, movie outlines, etc revealing that Two-Face is created after Harvey Dent is scarred. You wait until the very end of TDK and you avoid this.

Also I think the perfect ending for TDK would be have everything seem pretty much great right before the trial. Have a fairly happen musical score, show the city in the day (sunny = happy), etc. It looks like Batman may of greatly stopped crime in Gotham.

And then Two-Face is scarred, Joker escapes, everything is horrible and Batman and Gotham is worse off now than it was at the start of the film. Basically it will show the helplessness of Batman's mission.

Well he said that but it could change but I don't mind waiting more movie.

 

[kedrell]

Ending:

Joker's out of tricks and now it's just him and Batman on the roof of a very tall building. To make a longer story short, Batman kicks his ass. Then he grabs his legs and dangles Joker over the side of the building:

Batman(in a german accent): Remember Joker, when I told you I'd kill you last?

Joker: That's right(HA HA) you said that Batty!(HA HA)

Batman: I lied!

<lets him fall to his death>

Joker:AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The End

 

[Agentsands77]

I think Dent's scarring *needs* to be in the third film. If Nolan throws it into the second film, it'll just be another subplot and get nowhere near the focus it deserves. It'll be a film that just crams far too much material than it can handle.

Besides, rumors have given us no indication the scarring will take place in the second film, and the only official word has been that it takes place in the third film. So we have no indication to believe otherwise.

Also I think the perfect ending for TDK would be have everything seem pretty much great right before the trial. Have a fairly happen musical score, show the city in the day (sunny = happy), etc. It looks like Batman may of greatly stopped crime in Gotham.

And then Two-Face is scarred, Joker escapes, everything is horrible and Batman and Gotham is worse off now than it was at the start of the film. Basically it will show the helplessness of Batman's mission.

I have to admit, that would be pretty effective as an ending, even though I do want Goyer's original outline for THE DARK KNIGHT and BB3 to be adhered to.

 

[Octoberist]

Personally, I think the movie should end with Batman eating a taco or a burger with two beef patties....as he swoops into the camera.......BLACK.....DARK KNIGHT.
