BTW the most jarring aspect ratio change in TDK is when it goes from a 35mm scene (2.35:1/black bars) to a pointless, whole 2 second longestablishing IMAX shot of Wayne's penthouse (1.78:1/full frame) back to a 35mm interior scene. Basically 2.35 -> 1.78 -> 2.35 within 5 seconds. Ugh.

If that was jarring for you, I hope you didn't see Transformers 2 in IMAX. Imagine that, but done for 20 mins straight.

Fucking Michael Bay.

Still think my single biggest suspension-of-disbelief-shattering moment in TDK is when Joker sets off the bomb and escapes jail. Somehow the bomb kills and/or incapacitates EVERYONE in the MCU aside from the Joker. Many Gaffers have tried to fanwank away reasons for this, but they are pure rubbish. Come the fuck on, sons.

Mine was the truck flip. For one I can see the mechanism they used to do it, also there's no way that truck was going fast enough to cause such a drastic flip and THIRDS of all, I don't understand the point of the poles.

I love the truck flip. I really do. However my love for it is instantly levelled out when he does the wall plant. Always takes me out of it.

I literally just saw the movie again 2 days ago and I don't get what you mean. He was in a different room than the explosion. The room he was in basically only suffered from blowback from the explosion. When it goes off there is a shot of the police officer and like 2 others along with the fat guy on the floor, there is absolutely no one else in that room. So Joker was in a different area. Here look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP5YbXb6lFs#t=01m40s

I actually liked the wall plant for some reason. I remember saying "wooooaaahhhhh" in the theater like a goddamn idiot.

He's in a room with 4-5 cops, and is holding one hostage. How does the blast kill all of them but not him? Plot armor, that's how.

To be far, that movie was a jarring collections of cascading pots and pans, with or without switching resolutions.

This is one of the common fanwanks, and it holds no water.

He was holding that cop in front of him. That's the best answer, and it is kind of shit I'll admit.

Who says they died? Knocked out, sure.

The problem with the scene was not only was it badly acted (compared to the rest of the film) but it led to a very anticlimatic ending for Joker (especially considering everyone knew this was the end of Nolan/Ledger's Joker) and contained some rather weird plot points: we have an hour to decide, so let's take forty minutes to vote even though any second we could be blown away, we have a handful guards guarding the guy with the detonator, but the criminal walks up and grabs it anyway because of some 'you don't have the balls' justification, and what exactly were we suppose to learn from the criminal doing the morally-right thing while nobody else did? Doesn't that make Gotham look as shitty as the Joker said it was/is?

And don't get me started on Batman scaling Joker's building using sonar while saving the hostages from the swat team. You're telling me with all of Batman's gadget, he has no way of communicating with Gordan or the SWAT team leader to tell him about the set-up before they breach the building? Not too mention that three measly dogs are guarding Joker, surely he is aware that Batman can handle that right? Joker is two steps ahead of everyone in the whole film, you would think he would of been better prepared for Batman. Yes, I know his ace in the sleeve was Harvey Dent/Two Face, but I don't know how getting so easily caught (again) played into that strategy.

For me, the 15-20 minutes those scenes played out were the worst part of an otherwise great movie.

If it does, that shit needs to stay out of here. Gotham, er, this thread, must be cleansed of such filth.

My assumption is he took cover since he knew when the bomb was going off
The shockeave would mess you up, deafen/ loss of balance if you didn't know it was coming
 
How do Batman and Rachel survive the fall from the building after the party. Motherfucker lands feet first on the hood of a car after a freefall. He wasn't gliding or anything. Ive never been able to make sense of that scene.

I always thought he was driving from the backseat which made sense for his character.

How is he pressing the gas pedal....?

OH SNAP.

Ive seen BB probably a good 15-20 times. TDK probably 7 or 8.

I find TDK to be the more rewatchable one. I like BB, but I don't really rewatch it much.

One the bluray you definitely hear the sfx for the cape extending from the flying scenes in bb and hk
 
Solo said:
Question still stands: how does he not get knocked out while everyone else does? And no, "he knew about it and they didn't!" doesn't fly.
Click to expand...
I'll take "he had that one cop right in front of him that took the brunt of the shockwave," even if I think it's a bit flimsy.

I think the Mythbusters ought to do a whole episode dedicated to TDK.

He probably knocked the cop he was holding out, and the rest probably ran for damn cover.

Brah if I heard a huge ass explosion happen in the building I'm in, you won't find me anywhere near that building in 1 minute, lol.
 
Look if we're going to nitpick, how did Joker rig the hospital? How did he get drums of oil on ferries?

What the hell is going on during the bullet reconstruction scene?

A human shield isn't going to help much against a BOMB

Well it's not like the body's absorbing the fiery explosion, just the shock.

It's dumb.
