The Dark Knight The Rachel Dawes thread

[cjblair]

She is at the funeral:

Eckhart's hair is so glossy, the sheen is almost blinding.

I really like that scene, good going Cap.

The idea of Harvey killing Rachel is interesting, but I still think the Joker needs to kill her (if anyone) to up the ante between him and Batman. They have a lot of mutual hatred to build up between the two characters and that seems like the easy way to do it.

Lets see if I can get this thread back on track. I would want Rachel to die but at the hands of Two-face here is a scene I wrote a while back.

Alright then lets assume that Harvey after the scaring went into hiding so the mob wouldn't find him. His only outside contact would be Rachel Dawes who has a romantic relationship with Harvey. Rachel is worried about Harv, so she asks Gordon and a few cops she trusts to find him. Unfortunately we know how great Gotham PD is and it leaks to the mob who wants to finish the job with Harvey. Harvey is mentally hanging on by a thread in solitude when some hitman try to do him in. Naturally Harvey gets the jump on them first and kills them. That is when he finally splits and his alter ego Two-face takes hold. He knows that Rachel must have told somebody and goes to confront her.

INT- Rachel's Apartment - night
Rachel's room is neat and quite simple, rain is heard beating against the window outside. Her room is dark with the light from the outside illuminating her room. Keys are heard unlocking the door and Rachel enters her room. She is tired and soaked, and turns on the light. She is startled as she sees a wounded Harvey sitting in a corner of her room flipping a coin. A small table sits besides him and a small revolver and phone upon it.

Rachel - Harvey what happened?!

Rachel goes to Harvey's side to aid him

Harvey - Don't touch me!

Rachel - Why? Whats wrong?

Harvey - Cut the bull****, I know you work for Maroni.

Rachel - Harvey what are you talking about?

Harvey - His hitmen came for me, they knew where I was. Care to explain?

Rachel - Harvey I have no idea how they knew where you were!

Harvey - YOU'RE A LIAR!

Harvey pounds the table with his fist.

Harvey - I never figured Maroni would have had you under his thumb! How long? The whole time?!

Rachel stares at him

Rachel - Harvey you know me, you know I didn't do anything like that. Do you honestly think I would hurt you?! Do you think I am just another corrupted citizen in a broken city?!

Harvey glares at her. He flips his coin and places it on the table with his hand covering it.

Harvey - We shall have fate decide..

Rachel - Harvey stop this! You are not thinking with reason! I know you care for me and would never harm me or anyone. You love this city, I believe in you Harvey.

Harvey stares at her reflecting on what she just said. He takes a deep breath then in one fell swoop he grabs his gun and shoots Rachel. He looks at his coin which is a scarred head. He heads for the door turning off the lights. His silhouette is seen caused by the lights of the hallway. He looks back.

Harvey - I believed in Harvey Dent too.

Harvey slams the door CUT TO: credits or whatever

Now who's not making sense? Why would he kill Rachel? You really do need to get some sleep, come back tomorrow when you're refreshed.

Exactly

clearly you weren't reading. Harvey would be under the impression that she worked for the mob. Rachel though having good intentions indirectly lead the mob to him. From Harveys perspective she was in on it the whole time.

Though I stand by my theory you are a mix of different tangents that have yet to be laced together with coherent thought. Not that its a bad thing.

You do really need to get some sleep, next you'll be claiming that the James Gordon and Ned Flanders are the same person.

doctorKenyon and many other people have understood me. I think it is just you.

They are, the 'Stasche is umistakeable

Though Daniel Day Lewis still has the strongest stache to date.

They got my Ned Flanders joke, I believe that the Joker doesn't burn the money. But in two and a bit months we'll see what happens.

 

[doctorkenyon]

Hell yes. That thing should win an award.

 

[Laderlappen]

There doesnt seem to be any reason for the writers to kill her off.

 

[zarana]

If Maggie's Rachel dies in this one there is justice in the world.t:

 

[Zimmy]

Here is my screenplay...

INT- Rachel's Apartment - night

Rachel - Noooooo! Please don't! What did I do to you? Why are you going to kill me?!?!?
Is it some evil plan of revenge against Batman?

Dent - Nope, your just too fuggin ugly. Simple as that.

Wow, the misogyny of this board is reaching critical mass. Coz what movies need are more women in refrigerators right?

 

[Crook]

Misogyny? A bit exaggerated....

 

[Sadaskaa]

I seriously want some of these people to go die in a hole.

 

[Nightmare]

I seriously want some of these people to go die in a hole.

Even me?

 

[Sadaskaa]

Even me?

Depends, are you going aroung saying "MAGGIE G IZ TEH FUGLY!" all the time?

 

[Nightmare]

No, i actually think shes kinda cute.

 

[Crook]

Depends, are you going aroung saying "MAGGIE G IZ TEH FUGLY!" all the time?

Why so serious?

 

[itsthebatman]

How do know Rachel dies? The trailer scene isn't strong enough evidence.

 

[itsthebatman]

Why so serious?

You'll see. I'll show ya.

 

[Nightmare]

You'll see. I'll show ya.

Its all part of the plan..

 

[Crook]

How do know Rachel dies? The trailer scene isn't strong enough evidence.

Eckhart's admittance that his fiancee "dies". Considering there's the subplot of Rachel being his girlfriend, it's a good shot she is who bites the dust.

You'll see. I'll show ya.

You will show me what good sir?!
