The Dark Knight What do you think? Joker,live or die?

[metkalfe]

Joker can join Ras in the Lazarus pit so he lives on forever.

 

[Tojo]

can't believe people would even debate this. He should live of course, just like he does in the comics.

If this was Burton's, then Batman would run out of villains within 5 years.

 

[Captain Clown]

It would be a huge mistake if the Joker died.

 

[Darknightnomis]

He lives.

This is not a Tim Burton movie, it's a Chris Nolan movie.

 

[Mysterio]

At the end of most films like this the bad guy always dies in the end. So,should the Joker meet the same fate in TDK?
I wouldn't mind at all seeing him live. The Joker's my second favorite baddie after Venom.

given that Goyer said it was a mistake to kill off the villains, especially The Joker...well, you can figure it out.

Foie Grois is my favorite food, after spam.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Live. I hated when they killed him in the '89 version.

 

[TheBatman072]

Speaking of Joker's death in Batman '89, what was up with that little laughing voice box?

I've never been able to figure that out.

 

[Superhobo]

I say that he "dies" like he did at the beginning of Batman's run, you know, He dies but a body is never recovered.

That's not exactly how it happened in #1, but now that you mention it, what does happen in that issue would be hella cool on screen. I mean, think about it: it's near the end of the movie, and the police or whoever have Joker's body in the back of an emergency van. They're driving down some street when one of the doctor's notices that "this guy's still breathing!" We see one of the Joker's hands raise up behind the turned doctor's head as someone else goes "what?" And the Joker leaps up to strangle the guy.
The last shot is the emergency van driving off normally. Fade to black.

Awesome.

 

[Bnightwing]

let him live then have like a villain reunion

Too Silence of the Lambs.

 

[kilg%re]

he'll live, nolan has too much respect for the characters to just start killing 'em

I've always thought it was Joker's way of having the last laugh.

 

[Superhobo]

Too Silence of the Lambs.

And yet it was in a comic that was its precursor by almost fifty years. Weird.

Ra's al Ghul. Pretty dead.
Unless Keyser's 'The Final Problem' theory pans out.

 

[Orb]

He should live!

 

[Kakihara]

He'll live. Even after being shot several times and being thrown out of a window, whilst on fire-He'll live because he's the Joker.

 

[MAKIEVELLI]

He'll live. Even after being shot several times and being thrown out of a window, whilst on fire-He'll live because he's the Joker.

Yeah, that's in the comics. I strongly doubt Mr. Nolan would allow anybody to survive after that much punishment.

Where exactly does it say this? I hate it when MB members think they know exactly what the cast or director of a production will do because they are under the assumption that they know them.

 

[TheGreenMeanie]

He has to live, since they have the whole Arkham storyline there is no way for him to die. The first batman was cool, but i didnt like that Joker was killed off. Then again maybe they did it because Jack wouldnt do another?

 

[Batman jr.]

He shouldn't die. Locked away in Arkham & an escape in the third film would be great. Nolan didn't let the Scarecrow die in BB, and this proves that he doesn't choose the "Raimi"-way: kill the villains in each movie.

(not to mention that Venom sucked in SM3, so I'm actually glad they killed him off, but that's just the goddamn son of Batman's opinion )

 

[Sentinel X]

I couldn't care less. If he lives..okay. If he dies...okay, I just dont want to see the same villains in another Batman movie
