The Dark Knight The Realism Debate thread

It didn't bother me in the slightest that he had to go into that position to fire missles, you all want to know why?!?!? If you paid attention to details, which im sure you did, it's A BRIDGING VEHICLE. Since it's to be used in war/combat areas it is smart to give it weapons but that is not it's primary function.

To me it was a seperate screen for precision aiming since it wasn't built as a top of the line weapon like a tank. I don't see how you can aim well in that thing when your in the driver seat. Imagine being in your car and it could fire missles from the front, I guarantee your aim and accuracy would suck trying to shoot a centered target from that perspective.

Not to mention it's a ****ing movie lol based on a comic. Give it a rest. On another note, it still has not been proven as fact that the damn "pod" will be coming out of the Tumbler.

Yea, seems like pretty complex stuff for Nolan, although a few have told me it really is part of it. If it used both of the tires it would be facing 90 degrees to the direction of motion though.

It'd have to go like this while moving |==| /==/ __==__

I know, I thought of that... Unless the weapon launcing section had a pilot wheel underneath it or something?

It bottles the mind.

My question is this. All of the equipment Bruce "borrowed" from Wayne Enterprises: do you think they're still in the inventory files?

I mean, I'd assume Wayne Enterprises would do inventory of its stored products, to make sure nobody is stealing ****. How's Fox supposed to explain that an expensive military vehicle prototype is just missing, when it's still in the files?

It would have been cool to see Bruce go through the Wayne Enterprises computer files and delete the data on all of the equipment he took. Nobody would ever have proof that they existed in the first place.

Bruce took it as of his own choice. There's two possibilities that come to mind:

1) Bruce wrote it off and brought into his private collection, which is believable.

or

2) They were completely removed from the system entirely since Bruce can have final say on what's on paper and what's not paper or in this case the onboard files.

I think they were all lost causes and none were put into production. Therefore making there be no reason to take inventory.

Or,

Maybe its Fox's job to take inventory but he simply doesnt give a sh** and just says everythin is ship shape.

 

[Mr. Socko]

For the last time!!!!!! Fox does not design **** at Wayne enterprises. I hate how everyone was *****ing that Fox made Batman all his gadgets.

People it's a corporation, they have employees/engineers that design and come up with all that ****. Mr. Earl sent Fox down there to keep from causing the board anymore trouble remember!??? He is basically just keeping everything in order and whatnot, yeah he has smarts to create the antidote but they never said he created the Tumbler as well as anything else like the grapple gun.

So how does he know exactly how every single thing down there works lol...

Trouble with the wife?

This thread happens to be discussing that very fact... The fact that this is a movie based on a comic, and how to bring a comic to life in a live action film.

And we know that it has been proven for a fact that the pod comes out of the tumbler...

We're just discussing the engineering of it.

He's got nothing else to do but look at that database lol. He probably frequents the hype

Well, the microwave emitter was a prototype, yet it was still in the files. "37-B 1-ME," if I remember it correctly.

Even though everything in Fox's department is an abandoned project, I'd assume that a corporation as large as Wayne Enterprises would still keep them logged as "discontinued projects" or "prototype phases."

To be head of a board room he's obviously got a good head on his shoulders. I'm also guessing the ****er can read manuals and info that is kept about those products. Some of you guys are asking questions that are common sense. You guys are looking into things just to find faults lol.

I guess your trying to say that before Fox got sent down there, none of that stuff was created yet.

 

[Boom]

You're right. So The Joker better damned well be permawhite. It is a comic-book movie after all, correct?

He did create it all, and Rachel helped.

No trouble, I just can't stand our society and the lack of common sense in it anymore. Gets under my skin with all the zombies and morons that don't have common sense anymore, too much ****ty tv and not enough reading.

Right now, give me the link that has the proof that someone from the movie, that's either from Warner Bros or Nolan himself not a lame grip or something that has said it does in fact come out of the Tumbler. I thought it was all guessing so far at this point.

 

[Boom]

It's highly unlikely that Fox developed those projects on his own. Doesn't mean he wasn't involved in the production of them.

I don't need lectures on the obvious thanks. Fox is a shorthand way of saying random Wayne Tech engineer #5

Nice try trying to change my words and mock me. You damn well know I meant in terms of some things are going to require the suspension of disbelief, not because it's what happened in the comics.

people are different and view things differently

Sounds like a lot of you do since you totally missed my points and all started mocking me for saying what is common sense that you all didn't get.

You think random... but my quote goes deeper young grasshopper.

 

[Boom]

Still, no reason people can't suspend their belief so that The Joker can be white-skinned.

I hate the way people have to defend themselves like this on these boards!!! WHy are people always attacking pedantics in other people's posts?! It's counterproductive!

Is there a subtle bone in your body? I think everyone implicitly gets that it's a bridging vehicle and Fox didn't craft the Tumbler with his own hands, we're debating the mechanics and logic of it. If it pains you stay out of it
