The Dark Knight TRAILER #3 Discussion (First Post Updated w/ Download Info)

[JokerJr.]

my guess is that when gordon faces two-face at the end of the movie its to arrest him for killing the joker. this would work well since it would be difficult for gordon to arrest dent especially if the joker does go for his family

joker lives at the end

Anything is possible and this movie could be hell on ice for all we know. It is highly unlikely but possible. I am sure it is going to disappointed a good portion of fans because they have this idea of what it is going to be like.

Good question - any other people know? We got one "yes" so far - has anyone else seen any TDK trailers with Indy? I might go see it this weekend.

J Man likes his wood

 

[The J Man]

[The J Man]

lol why?

It was supposed to be with Iron Man. When I saw it though, something screwed up with the projector and they skipped all but half of the Hulk trailer.

I haven't seen Indy yet, so I'm not sure if the TDK trailer is attached or not.

If anything, I think it will be the exact opposite. Now with the TV Spots and new trailer (possibly one final viral game left to play) the hype is going to reach Nuclear (Nukeular for you Texans) levels. Which will either hype the movie beyond it's ability to perform and disappoint, or be the complete euphoric rush that most people are expecting.

Ever notice that Gene Hackman says nucular too?

I wont BE.......

How do you know?

 

[bkey]

lol why?

haha I just like the way you say "wood" instead of "would" t:

I'm sure it will be. It's getting closer to July now.

My theatre is already going crazy with the ads.

Inside they have the teaser poster with the Joker face/Bat symbol on the brick wall. Next to that they have the cardboard 3-d stand where Batman is crashing out of the window on the Bat pod. Down the main hall heading to the different screens they have that banner with Joker, Batman and Dent all covering part of their faces.

Right before the hall looking up they have that new Joker poster that was released recently...it's huge!

Nolan has said several times in interviews that they're not going to "make the mistake of letting the really good villains die off" in their series.

However, looking back at those quotes is really horrible because while they may not have intended for the characters to die, sadly things can happen to the actors =(((

I think the Joker was meant to have a part in the 3rd film, but because of Heaths untimely passing, Nolan will just leave the ending open, with Joker most likely alive and hiding out somewhere, not to be seen again in his 3 part Bat-verse.

That's basically what I think about this issue, as well.

I bet he gets captured at the end and spends the entire time locked up in three. Hopefully they have enough footage to do some kind of cameo in the third, anything would be better than nothing.

I think that's even better than solidifying what exactly happens to Joker. Nolan should take a page from the David Chase playbook and leave it very open ended. In the Sopranos a lot of issues are left dangling [the russian in the woods, pretty much all the murder investigations, what really happened to Furio, even the ending of the series is completely unclear.] Lack of closure is much more interesting and can drive people crazy trying to figure things out.

Hmm... never noticed that.

I'm not sure if that would happen though. Despite mentions of some involved saying they're keeping the door open for a third movie, Nolan has stated before that he prefers to focus on the movie at hand and I believe will tie off all the major loose ends. Lack of closure, however interesting, can be a turn-off for quite a few people as there's that empty feeling.

Take the Sopranos for a minute. A few of my friends were big fans of the show, and were absolutely livid that was how it ended.
One even wanted to throw his DVDs of the show in the trash. So it may spark some decent water cooler discussion, I doubt many would be satisfied with such an ending. Also, given that a Nolan-directed third movie isn't guaranteed at this point (but a third movie made seems to make sense, and will more than likely happen) it's very possible that his story may get lost in a conversion. Similar to X-Men: The Last Stand. But this is all speculation.

Myself, I would prefer some kind of finality to the character. Something that places him in a specific point by movie's end. It's not like The Joker hasn't busted out of Arkham about a thousand and one times, so at the very least, placing him in some kind of custody at the end would suffice. Would I enjoy the film if that wasn't what we got? Sure, but if left openly ambiguous as to his whereabouts, I'd feel a little disappointed. But certainly not devastated to the point where I'd trash my DVD and comic collection over.

True it will piss off a lot of people. But given the real life circumstances of what happened, I think its a much better option than recasting.

I was very against the Dawes recasting and although it still irritates me I accept it b/c of the basic likeness MG has to KH and the generic nature of the character ie. long dark hair, blue eyes, strong independent female figure. But IMO Ledger's performance from the trailers and tv spots alone shows me how unique it is. I would hate for that kind of role to be recast and would prefer an open ended exit.

If we get another trailer, I hope they just show the same exact stuff with only maybe a few new clips

recasting would be the worst thing to do. i dont really care if the joker dies, is in jail, or if its left up in the open in the end. just dont recast. i still think it would be cool if dent kills joker in the end, it would make him that much more ba in 3

For anyone who is interested, it looks like DC wised up and restored the character of Leslie Thompkins. The latest Robin issue reveals that Spoiler is surprisingly.... ALIVE AND WELL. This revised take on the story demonstrates how Leslie faked Spoiler's death in an effort to keep her out of harm's way and Batman's world of violence. Apparently, Spoiler has been in Africa recuperating with Leslie all this time.
