You're all ridiculous. What Nolan was clearly showing was that the pencil is mightier than the sword.

i think the main goal of the movie is to let us know not to aspire to be anything ... and just do everything in the moment .. like joker, who was the only person in the movie whose last scene had him smiling, unlike everyone else who was in despair.

Or dead.

you are correct

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Penis mightier

ouch

I *thought* it was symbolizing the state of healthcare in America.

It needs to be rebuilt from the ground up!

Great catch!

now

was TDK the movie we needed or deserved?

both

The choice of petrol barrels to kill Rachel and Harvey served to signify the real danger oil prices do to our own economic health and well being.

And the joker burning his share of the money served as a metaphor of the way the American dollar is losing all its value compared to the Euro "burning up" as it where.

I laughed

...I can't believe after tonight I saw that movie three damn times and not once did I pick up that the sketchy guy driving the armored car was Gordon. Every time I kept thinking to myself "now why the hell do they make this guy so sketchy and then do nothing with him!?"

That part really does make the movie a lot better for me, I had a big problem with that.

Ok, and is it just me, or does Batman's mask look really lousy in one of his first scenes when he's talking to Gordon at the bank? Like it doesn't fit Bale's face at all or something.

Cillian Murphy is definitely back in a bigger role next film I think. He's gotten the snub two times in a row on purpose I feel; not much in this new franchise has been done on accident.

I think Two-Face is coming back.

I think it would be soooo awesome if Murphy came back and play Scarecrow so insane and crazy. Not like Joker but just a insane person

a scare crow two face double team would rule.

oh, hey does anyone else have The Joker action figure that came out with this?

I never collect any merchandise ever since my pokemon cards became worthless pieces of paper I have refrained from collecting.

A Joker in nurse outfit action figure would be the shit.

That action figure must be able to say "Hiiiiiiii"

Haha can it come with the wig too? And should be able to limp around.

That shot of him leaving the hospital... the way he walked/lumbered around was just...

A wig, and a pistol.

Any Chicagoans get a funny reaction when watching the movie? I recognized almost all the locations.

yup. pretty much recognized all locations. it kinda sorta takes away from the Gotham as a fictional city in some ways ya know. But then in other ways, it makes the movie more real because I can imagine those things happening at those locations.

And have it say "I'm just a dog chasing a car. I don't know what I'd do if I caught one!"

or something like that

Wacker Drive has never been this exciting. I wonder how many tourists are asking where the Batman tunnels are.

I remember now. Good memory.

Pretty kewl eh, I was wondering when the shot would show up during the film on my first viewing.

Those complaining about the lack of Bruce/Batman should most definitely check out BB if they have not viewed the masterpiece yet.
