The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

[ScottotD]

I dunno.  I think it would be interesting if they didn't introduce any new villains in the third movie.  Also, Aaron Eckhart wants to do the third one:  http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0265713/.  So maybe Two-Face will return after all.

I really hope not, the whole point of the story was Batman taking the fall to not let Gotham lose hope.

[Hebs]

For a long time I couldn't help but see Harvey Dent as Bruce Timm had imagined him:



But I think Eckhart/Nolan did a great job of getting away from that, and making something new.

[Chaos]

The funny thing about hope is that it's a lot more enduring than most people think. Especially when it's had some time to heal.

[mearnest]

There is still the possibility of Two-Face emerging without the people of Gotham knowing he's Harvey Dent.  After all he would just be viewed as another freak.

[Chaos]

Yeah, because the right side of his face is so unrecognizable...

I mean, it's not like Harvey Dent had a memorable appearance or anything...

[Doctor Who?]

Well I sometime see people in Wal-Mart who look almost the same as famous people.

Just last week i helped some one who looked like presidant Bush!


If I were the people of Gathom I wouldn't assume that the new nut job on the street was Harvey Dent after we had all seen his funeral.

If he gets loose, he might not show his face in public at first.  That might be part of the tension, Two-Face working underground and Batman fighting to apprehend him before he's seen by the rest of Gotham, meanwhile every time Batman himself is seen he come close to being captured himself.

[Doctor Who?]

Now that sounds like a good movie.

[Chaos]

Meh.

Neither of the two potential plots that have been mentioned so far really do it for me. Nowhere close to the level of epic that TDK was.

Which two now?

[Fortis]

Representatives for Bale released a statement today denying that an assault took place: "Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police.

Well there you go, from http://stars.ign.com/articles/892/892546p1.html

ScottH's about Riddler boning Harley and Ronin's about Two Face's resurfacing.

[Tripe]

Oh OK, I can't remember, did I put my prospective one down?

[daltysmilth]

Okay, I just watched it a second time, and frankly, on repeat viewing, there are certain flaws in the film. 

For one thing, did Batman know that Gordon was still alive?  If so, did he and Gordon know that Dent would turn himself in if he thought Batman was about to do the same?  And the whole bullet fragment analysis thing... that's a little bit far-fetched.  It's like something out of a bad episode of CSI.  And the cell-phone sonar thing... not only is it not very realistic, it seems like it actually impairs Batman's vision while he's using it.  So why did he need it in the first place?

My boyfriend caught some of those the first time he saw the movie.  The second time, I asked a few plot related questions, as well, although they were a little different.

Mostly related to how the Joker managed to smuggle in and rig enough explosives to blow up Gotham General Hospital in under an hour without getting noticed.

I also saw a few technical flaws, although they didn't really detract from my enjoyment of the movie.  It was more of a, "Huh.  That's weird." moment.
