The Dark Knight What never gets old for you?

[Silverglade]

In The Dark Knight, I have watched this film many many times. But I have noticed some things never get old to me. No matter how many times I watch it or experience it. I will name a couple to start things off, and see if you have some of your own.

- The entire Joker/Rachel taunt with the camera swirling around and the way Heath played it. I love how Rachel looks away and eventually looks back. The Academy if they do an Oscar reel, should use this particular sequence from Heath IMO. Just perfect. I also love how when he first grabs her face saying "Look at me" he also seems to still be finishing chewing that olive from the martini a minute earlier.

- The "You have no idea" line from Alfred after Harvey asks about psychotic ex-boyfriends. I love Harvey's expression too after he hears that from Alfred. I know that line is in the trailer but I still laugh out loud (lol for real) every time I watch it. Such an understatement. ;p It always reminds me of Bale in BB when he said "a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues".

- The fact that they chose to include showing the coin land after Batman attacks Harvey (and ultimately kills him, breaking his one rule like Joker predicted). It landed on heads. Gordon's son would have been spared Dent's bullet after that last toss of the coin. I just like that verification.

Joker laughing while falling near the end, at the construction site. It always sends shivers down my spine.

 

[Spidey Snooch]

The entire interrogation scene. First, with Gordon, then with Batman. If ayone needs proof that Heath Ledger deserves at least one award for his performance in TDK, look no further than this scene.

 

[Boom]

The Joker's final speech.

 

[Twofaceguy]

When Nicholson's Joker falls down while pissing himself! Lol!

 

[Bond]

Gordon's speech at the end, with Batman riding off on the Batpod. I get chills every damn time.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Gordon's "A Dark Knight" speech.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Gordon's speech at the end, with Batman riding off on the Batpod. I get chills every damn time.

Same. The chills start when the camera is right behind Batman as he is running.


For me, the whole film never gets old for me.t:

Yes! That's where I get them too. "Because he can take it..."

Not true. We have no way of knowing whether or not the coin would have been heads. You're forgetting that Two-Face catches the coin about half way during it's decent and then traditionally flips it over onto the back of his hand.

 

[The Joker]

The armoured car chase sequence.

Greatness every time.

 

[MiniBond]

there's one thing that gets me E-VE-RY TIME , that's to say the tension building up when Joker is about to crash the party, when Gordon sees Loeb dying and Rachel and Harvey are talking........such a wonderful score there, really helping the greatness of the scene !

 

[Doctor Jones]

Same. The chills start when the camera is right behind Batman as he is running.

Same here too! That shot of him running in front of us, with the heavy drum beats, that's when I start to sweat and I go all tingly and I get massive chills. Then I tear up because I've never heard anything so beautiful describing the character.

 

[Symbiotic]

No he doesn't.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

The Joker's final speech.

When I start the movie, I am looking forward to this scene. Perfection.

 

[brewme99]

from this height, a fall wouldn't kill me... i'm counting on it (drop)

then after batman says he must have friends the way maroni say "friends..have you met this guy?" just makes me smile.

 

[CConn]

B89.

Oh wait.

 

[BatMatt]

No he doesn't.

well he does it a few different ways but he never lets it hit the floor

 

[Twofaceguy]

B89.

Oh wait.

Needs moar Nicholson Joker falling!

 

[-Arya-]

The garage scene where Batman makes his first appearence. My favorite scene in the movie without a doubt.

 

[Silverglade]

I would like to add 3 more things that never get old to me.

- The way that Alfred jokes about "myself and the scum of Gotham's underbelly". He then smiles genuinely at Bruce and I remember they are really great pals, both totally comfortable with their lives.

- Joker using the hygienic hand cleanser in the hospital while licking his lips and being himself while alone.

- The SWAT vehicle being forced out onto the water. Wonderfully edited, it is like a ball being tossed onto a pond. Easy, simply, effortless, weightless.

- OK, one more. "Our boy looks good on the tube!" "Are you sure you wanna embarrass me in front of my friends, lieutenant?" "Oh, don't worry. They're coming too." WIN

 

[Doc Samson]

Gordon's speech at the end, with Batman riding off on the Batpod. I get chills every damn time.

Oh yeah, every. damn. time. It's heroic and tragic all at once, It's a weird feeling, but if it doesn't spell out who Batman is and what he's about, nothing will

 

[BestGirl]

Same. The chills start when the camera is right behind Batman as he is running.


For me, the whole film never gets old for me.t:

For me, the chills start when Gordon is seen giving the eulogy(?) for Dent. I found Batman's speech about the truth not being good enough to be really moving, even more so than Gordon's speech. I choked up a bit when I saw it in the theater.

 

[Silverglade]

I also like how Joker says "Who did YOU leave him with?", just emphasizing and spelling out that Gordons own people are corrupt and on the wrong side. Joker knew it all. Gordon was blind, either willingly or ignorant. He had to do the best with what he had.

Dent was "left with" Wuertz and Ramirez.

I totally agree. It took me kinda off guard when I first saw the movie, and is still my fav moment of the movie.
