There were inside people in the system who had close personal access to the judges and other Joker targets. That's why the commissioner died to the acid, someone knew that he drank out of that bottle when times got tough. It's also why the chick was moved out of the police building when shit started going down because there was no one they could trust.

Thats really the only thing that I have against the Bale-Batman flicks. Is there something on the bat suit that disguises his voice so he can't be identified as Bruce Wayne? Or is the voice change just a really dumb idea by the director?

7/22/2008 1:01:37 PM

Yeah, they should have totally just taken the whole mask off and just had Bruce go with a pair of glasses.

7/22/2008 1:12:28 PM

^^I read on howstuffworks (the article was "how the batsuit works) that it has some kind of voice changer thing in the throat part of the batsuit that makes his voice so raspy.

what's "dumb" about disguising your voice to hide your identity?

7/22/2008 4:30:48 PM

it's one thing to change your voice

it's another to sound like you had your voice box removed

half the time i couldn't understand him

7/22/2008 4:33:18 PM

Did they say who flew the plane to pick up Bruce Wayne at sea? It'd seem awfully suspicious to carry Bruce Wayne to Hong Kong and then airlift Batman out of a city. Alfred maybe?

I wrote "or" is the voice change just a really.....

Work on your reading comprehension.

^^'Bruce Wayne' never went to Hong Kong, he took the entire crew of the ballet out on a cruise and alfred stayed with them. I think it was Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox or w/e) who had the meeting with the mob accountant that was flying it...

However, I was also thinking that the plane could've been on autopilot, since Batman activated a homing device, or that they had hired a Korean to fly the plane. They had mentioned a Korean pilot and if he would be able to do some job when they (Fox and Wayne) were discussing buying the plane.

I didn't think about it when I was watching the movie, but looking back now wasn't the plane that picked him up different from the one that he took off in the water from?

7/22/2008 5:07:07 PM

So what did you guys think about the allegory of Batman as Bush doing what is right (spying on Gotham) to save the day and becoming demonized for his heroism

Barack Obama was Harvey Dent, the idealistic up and comer who faces the real world and is corrupted, becoming Two Face (aka Two Race)

7/22/2008 5:10:54 PM

^That allegory doesn't hold up. At least Batman gave the keys to that power to someone else whom he knew would not tolerate its existence. Batman had no intention of allowing surveillance equipment that effective to exist for long. Bush, on the other hand, has done everything he can to hoard power.

7/22/2008 5:15:31 PM

^^no because i dont let things like that pop into my head during movies.


the last thing i need is the thought of george w. bush ruining the dark knight for me.

7/22/2008 5:17:32 PM

^Also agreed. None of this popped into my mind when watching this movie. I generally turn my brain off when watching these kinds of films, but I'm guessing that people are making mountains out of molehills if they're forming those sorts of connections.

7/22/2008 5:21:05 PM

in other words, get that shit out of here

I would be sooner to believe that GB and Barack grew up reading batman comics and wanted to be like the prospective characters you named for each of them because they were their favorite.

7/22/2008 5:56:58 PM

can we just delete this whole page

7/22/2008 5:58:20 PM

So I saw it again

The part when Batman is on top of the building and he hears an address where they eventually find the two people named Harvey and Dent...does he have some kind of special hearing power that was introduced in the first movie, or something like that ?

7/22/2008 6:32:30 PM

he has a earpiece thing, if its the same as when he was dressed homelessly in Begins and he covers it with his hood...cant remember which part but it was before he got falcone at the docks

7/22/2008 6:42:46 PM

Yeah, I think he has some kind of earpiece.

Thought it picked up police scanners in the first movie.

Maybe some kind of early version of the cell phone spying shit?

Eckhart actually assault Bale's family, Bale's just taking the blame

7/22/2008 7:12:40 PM

Dang guys take a joke

He was picked up at sea by and old albatross and picked up in Hong Kong by a C-130.

7/22/2008 7:41:29 PM

^^ no offense but just because no one else stated that doesnt mean 99% of the people in here dont agree...

7/22/2008 7:46:41 PM

hmm, i should probably see godfather I and II

7/22/2008 7:49:35 PM

#1 on IMDB isn't an award to be deserved

it's based on votes, just let time pass and you people's panties will un-wad themselves eventually

""Also, how did the judges DNA get on the card ""

When everyone--all the crime bosses-- was in court and she was flipping the paper in front of her going over the charges, a the joker card was in the stack. She touched it when she moved it out of the way.

7/22/2008 8:08:10 PM

^it had the DNA of the judge, the commissioner, and harvey dent. Possibly another person.

Here's my post on it from earlier:

7/22/2008 8:10:26 PM

i cant remember how the judge died

was she found with the cheek scars?

7/22/2008 8:11:07 PM

i thought she died from the car bomb

7/22/2008 8:13:29 PM

car bomb.

^^ That was dead fake batman.

7/22/2008 8:14:32 PM

it was the car bomb

7/22/2008 8:15:06 PM

My biggest complaint is Maggie. I hate when characters change and I don't think she was any better than Katie.

7/22/2008 8:17:28 PM

damn why can i only vaguely remember a car bomb

7/22/2008 8:17:32 PM

I forgot that Aaron Eckhart fucked Katie Holmes in "Thank You for Smoking." I'm sure that had nothing to do with Katie's character being recast....I just forgot about it.

7/22/2008 8:18:53 PM

i thought katie was more convincing when arguing with Crane than Maggie smiling the whole time during the interrogation room scene when she kept going out and in

7/22/2008 8:20:56 PM

yeah maggie seemed a little too bubbly for the character, especially in the beginning

7/22/2008 8:25:16 PM

After the movie today, I recall my previous post on the original Dark Night thread listing the new characters and actors thinking Heath Leger was a terrible choice for Joker. It's no wonder he had to take sleeping pills over a role like this.

7/22/2008 8:25:18 PM

maggie was the only poor actor


i just hope now that someone, maybe nolan, will revive the orginal Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles series

7/22/2008 8:27:31 PM

regardless katie just about brings down any movie she is in. so it was a much welcome change

7/22/2008 8:29:39 PM

I'm just glad that Rachel got killed off.

7/22/2008 8:34:08 PM

Will be interesting to see what love interest they bring in for the next movie. She better be fucking smoking. The last two have left a lot to be desired.

7/22/2008 8:36:35 PM

rachel mcadams would've been good

when people say her name it would've been an authentic recognition

7/22/2008 8:39:20 PM

actually them getting another actress to play Rachel proves that the Joker character is not dead
i'll put $$ on it
