The Dark Knight The Joker's Arsenal

[Spidey_Zombie]

Does anyone think that Nolan will add the perma-smile laughing gas into Batman Begins? Some might say it's not realistic to Nolan's vision... I would just like to say it may fit... Depending on the setting and mood of "The Dark Knight..."

Also what other types of Aresenal, do you think may be implemented into the movie...

 

[Eros]

they have fear gas, im sure they will have the perma smile gas as well.

A definitive origin of the character was never established in the comics, although many have been suggested. In Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #50, a retelling of the Joker's origin (including revealing exactly who invented the gas that gives its victims the Joker's telltale grin), his cousin, Melvin Reipan, an idiot savant, presumably thinks his first name is Jack; Melvin calls the Joker "Cousin Ja-" before he cuts him off, saying that he's now "Cousin Joker." Jack Napier is a name often associated with being that of the Joker's, though the comics have never explicitly stated this.

I wouldn't mind a re-telling of Joker's origin. By Joker's own words "multiple choice" opens up alot of doors for story telling. I like the Red Hood story alot, mostly for the story of his wife. But whatever Nolan does I'm sure it'll be extremely entertaining.

Big green mallet! Big green mallet!

The acid squirting flower has to be there even if its not a flower maybe another artifact,But since this will be a darker creepier joker I would say that he hsould have more rudimentary weapons such as a sledgehammer and the infamous crowbar.

The pin prick he uses on the guy who sells him the fairground in 'The Killing Joke'.

Wouldn't mind seeing some laughing fish too.

 

[XCharlieX]

Hmm... nerve damage is a real thing, and maybe that can explain it. But the red lipstick... probably not.

 

[Cinemaman]

Well, Joker can use it as the weapon against mob bosses.

But I don't want the same idea to happen again (Gotham full of fear gas).

It was awesome to see in BB, but this time there will be another story.

This is, of course, not including The Killing Joke

If they make a plot about a harmful gas again it would be repetetive and boring, im thinking its gonna be something totally different.

 

[Agentsands77]

I think instead of gas we'll get an injected/digested "Joker venom" that causes people to laugh themselves to death (one of my favorite Joker weapons). The Joker hasn't always used gas, anyhow.

 

[Agentsands77]

I doubt we'll get any "BANG!" flag guns in the Nolanverse, Majik.

 

[xwolverine2]

gotta have the acid flower...lol

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

If I were to give Joker an arsenal I'd give him:

-Laughing gas.

-A jack-in-the-box that's actually a bomb that he uses on the mob.

-A gun that when it shoots a flag comes out saying "Boom" or "Bang."

-Wind-up toys that are bombs.

-Acid-spraying flower.

-Grenades with Joker smiles on them or dolls that are bombs.

 

[xwolverine2]

dont forget the classic hand shake electricity thing

 

[xxshady]

Why wouldnt the "BANG!" gun work in Jokers universe? After all its part of the character and its not really that campy... its more like creepy in a sense

Yea I read that issue. I do not like that origin for Joker.

In the other origins we all know the accident but also prior to the accident he was already intelligent in the chemistry field...thus is how he makes the gas.

Basically...they should have the gas in the movie because that is one of the schemes that makes the Joker who he is...putting a smile on people's faces as they die. I would not want him to be some serial killer who instead carves a smile into their face as they die with a knife.

i hope he dont try and spread it like they did in begins

Um actually that was the main scheme that Joker had in The Man Who Laughs. If you have not read it it is basically Joker's first appearance as Joker in continuity. Slight differences in the plan though.

The following should also be part of his arsenal (aside from the laughing gas):

- Squirting Acid Flower
- The "BANG" Gun
- Crowbar
- Razor Sharp Playing Cards (or only Joker cards)

Yeah, the handbuzzer would rule. I remember in the 89' Burton one where he fried a guy with it. The razor-sharp playing cards would rule as well and I could see him pulling a Bullseye and flinging them in people's necks or heads.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I could see Nolan using the Smile Toxin (laughing gas and other forms of it), and even providing some explanation for how it works, and how it effects the human body. Like maybe having Gordon being present at an autopsy where a coroner examines a victim and he explains to Gordon how the toxin works.

If I were to give Joker an arsenal I'd give him:

-A jack-in-the-box that's actually a bomb that he uses on the mob.

-A gun that when it shoots a flag comes out saying "Boom" or "Bang."

-Wind-up toys that are bombs.

-Acid-spraying flower.

-Grenades with Joker smiles on them or dolls that are bombs.

I can see this all working as well. I am not sure about the handbuzzer thing though. Especially not the way it was done in Tim Burton's Batman. That would be too over the top for Nolan's more realisic Bat-universe.

 

[Motown Marvel]

he needs to beat someone to death with a rubber chicken.....it could possibly be a lead weighted rubber chicken.

ah yes....... the good things from tim burtons movie

 

[Bullseye]

I have to wonder if Scarecrow's fear toxin is still an adaquate source for any of the villains. If the is more of the toxin, the fear toxin would be of an advantage to any character who wishes to use it. And with Scarecrow still on the loose, it is likely he is working to make more toxin, which also required the help of Falcone and Ra's.

 

[batman7289]

the hand shaker thing with the electric shock

 

[Mr. Thing]

I'd love to see the Joker with a candy-cane crowbar.
