The Dark Knight What We Know So Far

Technically, there is no "Final Confrontation" the way people seem to be thinking, is that Joker dies. That's not the case. It's pretty clear what happens to him, but theres always that miniscule iota of doubt.
 
I don't want to start a new thread, (I know how bad people get when one is started without cause), but Hot Toys have recently had their TDK figs on display at a toy show in Japan, and for their Bruce Wayne scuplt they had half of it facing away.

Apparently the show had a call from Warner the day before saying they could not show the right half of Brucie's face!

Does it get damaged? Has this already been covered?

interesting, I doubt Bruce's face gets injured... what's your source? maybe it's from the time before they revealed the new suit... or perhaps they're wrong and it's Dent's sculpture actually...
 
ok.....read that Dark Knight Plot Outline thing.....but according to that.....[BLACKOUT]the next movie will be about Two-Face.....meaning that Dent doesn't really die???[/BLACKOUT]
 
Is Harley Quinn in this movie, as Harleen Quinzel at all, even briefly?

Wasn't this woman from British soap Hollyoaks supposed to be playing her?

Anyone have a definitive take on the Sarah Jayne Dunne mystery? (i.e: if she's not in it, why was she listed as such.)

Cheers.
 
hey, I heard that TDK evokes some imagery/parallels to 9/11.

does anyone know if that is true?
 
Zmoker-No, she is just one of Maroni's arm candy. She is never named.

TDK4EVER-Its in many of the trailers.
 
I have completely redone the first page with new spoilers and clarifications due to recent reviews, and now have the full updated cast list.
 
is the patpod truck scene the final confrontation between batman and the joker or is it something else??

I believe it is earier. The first time Joker is captured.
 
In many reviews it states Two-Face dies when he shots Maroni's driver which causes the car to flip and explode. What makes me believe this is the fact that this scene can be seen in t.v. spot #15. Also I thought Joker vanishes and isn't caught...

I don't know what reviews you are referring to, but
Two-Face dies in a confrontation with Batman on the roof of Gordon's apartment building when Batman stops him from shooting Gordon's son and Two-Face falls to his death. This is after the scene with Maroni. And as for The Joker, Batman leaves him hanging upside down from a building for the police to take into custody.

Nope. Neither of those are correct. I had never even heard the thing about [blackoutTwo Face[/blackout] dying in Maroni's limo.

What schlosser said is right.
 
Question about the car crash
Does Maroni survive or is it left unknown?

In an interview Roberts said the character is killed and I think it is safe to assume he is. At any rate he does not appear anymore in the movie after that.
 
A couple questions I've just been curious about--

In the scene we've seen so much in trailers of Bruce being emo in the Penthouse, is that
the subsequent scene after Rachel dies? Or is his apparent upset there over something else?

Also, can someone elaborate on the triangle between Bruce/Rachel/Harvey. I know there is a kiss between Rachel and Bruce-- but is she ever actually with Bruce in the film or simply dating Harvey?
I have heard rumors she is pregnant? Or possibly engaged? Does this tie in with the 'secret' Alfred holds from Bruce?
 
That's...quite cryptic. Thanks for posting it. Looks like we might see something good in the next 40 minutes.
 
I have a question....does anyone know where the whole Batpod/semi/"hit me!" sequence fits chronologically into the movie? Some have said it's approximately halfway through the film, and isn't the final Batman/Joker confrontation, but others have said it is. Anyone clear this up?

DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED

Someone recommended that this thread be started, to round up all the info that is known about the movie so far. This is everything I can remember right now. I'm sure there is a lot more info that can be added, and some of the accuracy might be a tad off, as I have added some of my own assumptions. Feel free to add any new info, and discuss the plot and scenes that we know are in the movie so far.
-Wayne Manor is being rebuilt; Bruce Wayne and Alfred are staying in a penthouse suite. Batman keeps the tumbler, his suit and equipment and a computer terminal in an underground garage.

The goons begin taking each other out, under instructions by the Joker, in order to get larger shares of the money. It turns out that the bank is a mob bank, and the money belongs to the Falcone family. The Bank Manager (played by William Fichtner) tries to stop the thugs, but is shot by the Joker. He escapes on a stolen school bus.

Reese breaks into the applied sciences sector of Wayne Enterprises and somehow discovers Batman’s true identity. Engel announces he will reveal the identity on his evening program. Not to be out of the limelight, Joker makes a bomb threat to the TV station, causing the program to be cancelled. Reese must be escorted out of the station. Lucius Fox somehow blackmails him into not revealing the identity to anyone else. The Joker also uses Mike Engel to broadcast an eerie television message.
-Tired of all the vigilantes running around Gotham, and wanting to find the real Batman, Joker kidnaps their leader and, after interrogating him on camera, hangs him from a flag pole outside the mayor’s office with a Joker card pinned into his chest with a knife. On the card it reads, “Will the real Batman please stand up.” Harvey Dent is making a proclamation of a crime-free 18 months in Gotham to Mayor Anthony Garcia (Nester Carbonell) when the wind blows the dead body into the window of the mayor's office.

The people are the barges are timed, and must find the triggers and decide to blow up their own ship or the other ship, or both will be destroyed when the time runs out. Mush chaos ensues.
