When he becomes Two Face, he still has the double headed coin, one side is just dirty, so really that isn't wholey revelant that is two headed coin, just that before he was Two Face he uses it more as a threat to the person to get them to talk or do what he he says than as a decider

It was relevant at the time. Both sides were the same, but when he became Two-Face, one side was burned/scarred as well. That was the "evil" side of the coin from that point forward. But during his "interrogation" both sides were the same, so he was never going to actually kill the guy.

Three records? I know it broke the midnight showing record and the single day record, but what was the 3rd?

Well im clearly in the minority here, if not in it alone, but I really enjoyed Batman begins, this one; I was glad when it was over. I think they and ledger did a great job of the joker being a serious villian to go along with the mature/dark theme of this new batman series but plot wise the battle between batman and the joker just seemed to be largely non-eventful. Whilst I guess they had no choice the way it ended with the Joker was unsatisfying for me. I also didnt care too much for Holmes in b.begins but compared to Gyllenhal I wish they would bring her back.

hrmm I havent really provided much of an explanation as to why I disliked this one, maybe the heroic themes of the first just sat with me better, im not sure but disappointed and then glad to be out of the cinema were my emotions.

Can someone give me a link to high-resoltuon preferably (1680x1050) site or something for

1. Wallpapers

2. Movie Posters

Of The Dark Knight!

Thanks

Crazysah

The official site will have the wallpapers around that size.

Is there any other site that has good wallpapers and movie posters around that size?

Can someone please answer the questions?

Also... 9.5/10 rating on IMDB! It is still #1! Awesome.

Yes... 3 records with potentially more coming for Saturday!

The scene he is talking about wasn't scarecrow. But at the start of the movie it was him.

ah my bad

[brayan27]

I just came back from the movies.

wow. It was great! :drool: :woot:

Excellent movie except for one thing: Maggie Gyllenhal. I don't understand how anyone can cast her as the sexy female lead in anything, she's a dog.

Man you guys are way too harsh. The girl definitely wasn't ugly at all. But you're right if you thought her acting was bad in this one.

[Draconian Guppy]

Oh dear... OMG OMG OMG this movie totally lived up to the hype..

I hope the DVD / bluray versions have another 60 extra min ala LOTR of "directors uncut edition" of some sort.

While the joker was awesome, the whole cast performed amazing. I do agree though... I Would've prefered Katie Holmes.

Although I do believe the end was incomplete, they probably had something aligned with the joker and batman ( after joker was left hanging at the end), but probably couldn't make it after ledgers death. Also makes me wonder how the hell they're gonna pull batman 3 off.

Anyone else think the ending was edited so the joker wouldn't be killed in the movie as well, as it would be to cruel?

Just saw it.... Good movie, but not the 9.7/10 that it has on IMDB. I'd go for 7/10.

1) It's way too long, the movie sometime drags.

2) Did Tom Cruise locked Katie so she could not perform as Rachel Dawes? Nothing against Maggie Gyllenhaal, but she's no Katie...

3) We see much more of Bruce Wayne than Batman in this movie.

4) The good Harvey Dent that "transform" into a killer Two-Face... That's pulling it.

5) What's the point of having Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow) in this movie for 30 secs in the beginning? It's a cameo but could have been more.

And this movie is all about Heath Ledger. The Joker is really mad/crazy but with substance. I don't know how it would have turnout if this role was played by someone else.

It's a good movie, but IMO not as good as the first one.

Any specific one you're looking for? I have a few that I forgot where I got them.

[Kev1n]

Am I the only one here who think Kate Holmes is ugly? Maggie ain't a looker, but at least she's a better actress.

[KnightWolf]

soooo tempted to scroll over the spoilers... havent seen it yet, waiting for the crowds to thin. so ill just sit an watch the old batman from 1989... looks so bad compared to the new stuff, but WTH

[Imnotrichey]

I liked having Scarecrow in the movie at the start. Just seeing what hes up to is cool to know :)

Its also nice for comparison reasons to see how much of a small time thug (without Ghul's help) he is compared to what the Joker can pull off.

also, im trying to figure out who that person Harvey Dent interrogated was (the one that looks like a skinnier/younger Cillian Murphy)

im going through the IMDB full cast here :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/fullcredits#cast

Any guesses on who that guy was? I am just looking to confirm it wasnt Scarecrow. He should of been in jail right?

[DELTETHISACCOUNT]

The movie was epic, that's all I have to say about it. But there was one scene that had my jaw dropping...

The scene where Batmat deployed the grappling hooks to the front bumper of the 18-wheeler, circled the font tires, swerved around three lightposts and sent the truck flipping. o.m.f.g.

Question:

So Fox said that if the machine were still there he'd resign... but when he puts in his name the machine destroys itself, essentially. So does he resign?

My guess is since it self destructed, he didn't resign.

The sad part is, neither Nolan nor Bale Comment on a third installment. Except For:

"Bale, I'll return if Nolan directs it".

None specifically but am looking for ones in a size around 1680x1050.

I don't think they wanted to kill Joker regardless of Heath's situation. He was an amazing character and they probably ended it that way so they could use him again. As much as I would have liked Dent to stick around I loved the ending, really great story telling. Definitely one of my favorites, and the entire Joker scene was amazing, that scene alone is worth re-watching. As far as the IMAX experience goes, the scenes shot with the cameras were exceptional, but size they are shot with a wider lens you get black bars on the other shots, a little annoying when it happens throughout the movie, but the city scenes in IMAX were spectacular.

As for the sequel it will happen Nolan said in an interview awhile back he envisioned it as a trilogy. Besides they are going to make a lot of money off this so that should be a big enough reason to pursue. I'd also like to see the mansion get built because I miss my Batcave.

too things that are bugging me about the intro bank robbery:

how did the guys who picked up the Joker (as well as the rest of the city) not recognize him standing on the corner. He didn't put on the mask til he got right in front of the car door.

what was the Joker doing that whole time during the robbery when the other guys were getting organized? its hard to tell...was he just tying people up and putting grenades in their hands? he was the only one of the 3 front door clowns that came in with a bag...i'm guessing it was just that stuff

good thing Mahone missed him with that shotgun shot....or else tthe rest of the movie would have been pretty lame :)

I also liked how the Joker told the other clown that he was out of shells so he wouldnt have to risk his life.
