The Dark Knight the mob boss?

[BmAaTn3625]

A lot of people on the boards including myself thought when we heard the source above talk about an heir that was taking on a new face as the movie moves along that the source was talking about black mask. While I still believe that is what he is saying, the heir might also become the Joker...slim slim chance but worth discussing i think anyway

 

[COMPO]

but, it also said that Joker will cause problems to both Black Mask and the MOb Boss

 

[Keyser Sushi]

who do you think the mob boss working with Black Mask will be?

Rupert Thorne?

Sal Maroni?

Lex Moxon?

And could you explain why they would have ties to Thomas Wayne.

I don't think I ever looked in this thread before, but, COMPO, I can tell you what I think and why.

I say Lew Moxon, and the reason is because he does have ties to Thomas Wayne, in a sense.

In the comics (pre-crisis), Thomas Wayne once attended a costume ball dressed as a sort of Bat-Man. Lew Moxon and some of his cronies were into some trouble that night and Moxon got shot or stabbed (I don't remember which). Realizing he needed immediate medical attention, his cronies busted into the ballroom and demanded a doctor. Thomas Wayne stepped forward and they blindfolfed him and dragged him off to treat Moxon.

Wayne treated Moxon and once this was done he knew they were bad guys and he knew he was probably in trouble. He wound up subduing the thugs and Moxon, and calling the police.

Moxon was furious, and arranged to have Thomas Wayne whacked. He had it done to resemble a robbery. The kid he hired was not a hitman, and was not really comfortable with the job, but he did because he needed the paycheck.

The kid was named Joe Chill.

That's why, if that plot synopsis we had so long ago was accurate (which at this point I somewhat doubt) I would say that Moxon would be the mob boss in question.

I should add that Moxon was not a big-time boss. I think he owned a trucking company or something like that, but I don't remember for sure.

The Joker I believe will strike out against the police, the batman, organized crime, and lord knows who else.

Thanks i had no idea who this guy was i just heard of him from somewhere. And with him not being a big-time boss. This could fit in cause. If there is a gang war then, he could be doing the arms deal so that he has more weapons and stronger than the rest of the other mob families.

Well, I looked it up. Moxon was indeed small-time. He ran a company that advertised on the sides of blimps. LOL. The reason I thought of trucks was because when Batman tracked down Joe Chill, Joe Chill was running a smuggling ring through a trucking company.

In that story, Chill died because when Batman came for him, he revealed his identity to Chill, made him too scared to tell, and then disappeared to see what would happen. Chill told his thugs working security that he'd killed Batman's parents, and in their anger, they murdered Chill, because he was the guy who had basically created Batman.

Obviously in Begins, Chill was wasted by a woman Falcone hired. But if they're going with the arms deal angle, I think they should make Moxon the smuggler. It would tie into the arms deal angle very well.

Anyway I thought you'd like to hear all that. Maybe some people will shut about Sal Maroni and Rupert Thorne long enough to listen to reason.

Naaaah.

 

[COMPO]

listen to reason. MY ASS!

 

[Keyser Sushi]

listen to reason. MY ASS!

Yeah, I know, what the hell was I thinking?

 

[COMPO]

Hey, what about Luigi Maroni or someone from the Falcone family?

I mean, in Long Halloween it was said that Thomas Wayne made a report on Luigi and but, it was never taken further. Well, what if luigi had thomas killed for saving Falcone or for filing the complaint.

And with someone being in the Falcone family. They could just a Long Halloween sort of thing.

 

[COMPO]

Vague, unclear, open-ended.

Although I don't really know how a mob boss can be ambiguous unless his face is in shadow the whole movie or somnething.

It could be Falcone again. He gets out of jail. But, he has one of his kids do all the work while, he makes the orders in the shadows. Not daring going into any of the crime scene so he doesn't get captured by Batman again.
