- 0:27Speaker 2: Why the fuck did we get Bob Dylan? We need
- 0:30Speaker 2: Brian Setsa.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I genuinely thought he was a batman villain. That's what
- 0:34Speaker 3: like that? Somebody says, But you were just saying, oh man,
- 0:37Speaker 3: I love the Winter of Bob. And I said, so
- 0:39Speaker 3: many people hated the Winter of Bob.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Where it'll come back around. That's my theory. You just did.
- 0:45Speaker 3: He just did. But Megan sort of like love Slash,
- 0:49Speaker 3: hated it. Sarah just hated it. Sarah just said, hey,
- 0:52Speaker 3: I don't want to hurt your feelings. It's not funny.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I hate it. Please stop doing it. And that to
- 0:57Speaker 3: me is like pouring gasoline on fire.
- 1:00Speaker 2: That's why is it? That? To somebody it's insane? Why
- 1:04Speaker 2: I tell them that I just liked how Bob would
- 1:06Speaker 2: just come out like like I always feel. It was
- 1:08Speaker 2: like we were like sitting in the basement recording, and
- 1:10Speaker 2: he would just be like in a closet and then
- 1:11Speaker 2: like while you brought something that made no relevance to
- 1:14Speaker 2: him at all, You're talking about kool aid. It's like
- 1:18Speaker 2: it was. It's like, okay, Bob Jesus.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Oh well, we're back. We're talking about.
- 1:27Speaker 2: What removie, Ryan, We're talking about. We're talking about Batman. Sorry,
- 1:33Speaker 2: the Dark Knight. There we go and Dark Knight Comma
- 1:39Speaker 2: the Yeah, Batman.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Hears a villain somewhere in the city say they know where,
- 1:46Speaker 3: like a henchman, say they know where Harvey Dentist. He
- 1:48Speaker 3: shows up at the scene. There are two dead cops.
- 1:51Speaker 3: One is the last name Harvey when his last name
- 1:52Speaker 3: dent So uh so wait, we talked about last time
- 2:00Speaker 3: how the Joker specifically put out a message that Batman
- 2:04Speaker 3: has to reveal his identity or he's going to kill
- 2:06Speaker 3: more people.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Every day exactly. Yeah, So he says that at this
- 2:10Speaker 2: crime scene. Ramirez is there with Gordon, and when they
- 2:15Speaker 2: find the name tags of the two dead men, there's
- 2:17Speaker 2: a newspaper with a picture of that has a photo
- 2:20Speaker 2: of the mayor that is drawn on like with Joker makeup,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and they're like Joker's next target is the mayor.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And he says, I need ten minutes with the scene
- 2:29Speaker 1: before your men contamidate it.
- 2:31Speaker 3: And then Ramira says contamidated. This is your fault. They're dead.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Joker is going to kill people every day until Batman
- 2:37Speaker 3: reveals his secret identity. And uh, this is a great
- 2:42Speaker 3: like NERD comic book fan scene because Batman is conducting
- 2:47Speaker 3: like intense ballistic tests in the vacave and Batman is
- 2:52Speaker 3: the world's greatest detective, so like that, raj al Ghul
- 2:55Speaker 3: raychelle Ghoul call him, calls him detective, and that's kind
- 3:00Speaker 3: of something that's lost in a lot of the movies.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But sorry, go ahead, Ryan, what were we gonna say?
- 3:05Speaker 2: I wanted this is. This is again as you said
- 3:08Speaker 2: Poe Buddies, in effect, I never understood this part. So
- 3:11Speaker 2: he's cutting out, he cuts out of the wall the
- 3:14Speaker 2: bullet to get fingerprints off the bullet. That's what he
- 3:17Speaker 2: says when he's doing it. Yep. Then he goes to
- 3:22Speaker 2: he goes to Lucius, then goes back to the cave
- 3:26Speaker 2: and like reshoots that bullet. I don't I don't don't
- 3:30Speaker 2: understand this.
- 3:32Speaker 3: It's like Tenant where nobody really gets it.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, being super loud in Imax, beyond loud when
- 3:39Speaker 2: these gunshots go off.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't tell you now that you mentioned it,
- 3:42Speaker 3: I don't really know.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I just even like I was like actively, I'm like,
- 3:45Speaker 2: I'm gonna rewind and see what they say. I still
- 3:47Speaker 2: don't get why you need to reshoot the bullet that
- 3:49Speaker 2: was already shot to rebuild fingerprints.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. That's a really good point. I
- 3:54Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I could deep
- 3:57Speaker 3: dive it and like try to argue with you, like
- 4:00Speaker 3: the put the Devil's advocate hat on the guy who
- 4:02Speaker 3: loved the Patriot and Duncan donuts. But I'm not going
- 4:04Speaker 3: to do that. And then the Andy Kelly of the movie,
- 4:07Speaker 3: Coleman Reese confronts Lucius Fox and he says, I figured
- 4:12Speaker 3: out what you're doing. I figured out that Bruce Wayne
- 4:15Speaker 3: is Batman. I went through applied sciences. So I'm just
- 4:18Speaker 3: letting you know. I want ten million dollars a year
- 4:21Speaker 3: for the rest of my life, or I'm going to
- 4:22Speaker 3: the press and telling them that Bruce Wayne is Batman.
- 4:25Speaker 3: And Lucius in another amazing Morgan Freeman moment says, so
- 4:30Speaker 3: let me get this straight. You think your client, who's
- 4:34Speaker 3: one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the
- 4:36Speaker 3: entire world, is secretly a vigilante who spends every night
- 4:40Speaker 3: beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and
- 4:43Speaker 3: your plan is to blackmail this person. And then he
- 4:47Speaker 3: just stares at him and says, good luck.
- 4:50Speaker 2: I just love how like Coleman, Reese's face just melts
- 4:53Speaker 2: while Morgan Freeman is talking because all of this makes sense. Like, ye,
- 4:57Speaker 2: this man has so much power, so much control. If
- 4:59Speaker 2: your plan is to black melon, you're You're gone. I
- 5:02Speaker 2: do like how Coleman says it. You don't think I
- 5:04Speaker 2: don't see your baby out there, pancake and cop cars.
- 5:07Speaker 2: I do like that.
- 5:10Speaker 3: So they're trying to stop Joker's plan from assassinating the mayor,
- 5:15Speaker 3: and there's a giant funeral procession for all the cops
- 5:18Speaker 3: that Joker has killed, and the mayor is going to
- 5:20Speaker 3: be there and give a speech. Bruce goes out in
- 5:23Speaker 3: the daytime, dresses himself because he doesn't go out in
- 5:26Speaker 3: the daytime, dresses Batman, and he goes to an apartment
- 5:31Speaker 3: and walks in because he's like has this lead now
- 5:34Speaker 3: of where he should where the Joker might be holed up.
- 5:37Speaker 3: And when he walks into the apartment, there's a bunch
- 5:39Speaker 3: of like naked guys tied up. And I thought I
- 5:41Speaker 3: wrote down right place. I thought this was very genius
- 5:47Speaker 3: about how he what's what's it called like a Rube
- 5:50Speaker 3: Goldberg device, like a really complicated contraption. Do you want
- 5:55Speaker 3: to explain this or do you remember? I can explain
- 5:57Speaker 3: it if you don't.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Sorry, Remember it's with the with the scope in the window.
- 6:01Speaker 2: He like goes to look in the scope, so.
- 6:04Speaker 3: You Bruce, Yeah, Bet, Bruce goes to look there's like
- 6:06Speaker 3: a scope in the window, not a gun, but just
- 6:08Speaker 3: a scope in the window looking at something. And then
- 6:11Speaker 3: when Bruce goes to look at the scope, like a
- 6:14Speaker 3: timer goes off because somehow Joker to the second predicted
- 6:17Speaker 3: when this would happen. And when the timer goes off,
- 6:20Speaker 3: the blind shoot open and the whole city is surrounded
- 6:24Speaker 3: by sniper rifles because all the cops are trying to
- 6:26Speaker 3: protect the mayor. So when the blind shoot open and
- 6:29Speaker 3: Bruce is standing with the scope in front of him,
- 6:32Speaker 3: all this cop snipers just fire into the window. Immediately,
- 6:35Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, well done. I respect that.
- 6:38Speaker 2: That was pretty cool. I like how it's intercut with
- 6:42Speaker 2: them just panning up the soldiers who are waiting and
- 6:45Speaker 2: like this, you know, like the the memorial, like the
- 6:48Speaker 2: tribute line whatever it is with the guns. Yeah, and
- 6:51Speaker 2: I just love the slow burn of seeing that. Then
- 6:53Speaker 2: you see a joker without his makeup on, dressed up
- 6:56Speaker 2: as a cop, which I thought was also kind of
- 6:58Speaker 2: a cool move in this movie.
- 7:00Speaker 3: I don't know how nobody didn't nobody noticed him.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Yeah, the scars are pretty significant. Yeah, but I like
- 7:09Speaker 2: that the movie just did that, Like even he will
- 7:11Speaker 2: take it off and not be the image, yeah.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Or if anything, Honestly, I could see him putting the
- 7:17Speaker 3: makeup on and then putting more makeup over it to
- 7:19Speaker 3: hide the.
- 7:20Speaker 2: First layer of makeup, like Jack Nicholson.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, honestly, my human makeup.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Life's good to me.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been good to me. Wow. Yeah, what's with
- 7:29Speaker 3: your smile?
- 7:30Speaker 2: So?
- 7:31Speaker 3: Uh, who's your your dude?
- 7:33Speaker 2: The actor the great David DEAs Mulchin.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Yeah, how is David just mulchin involved in this scene?
- 7:40Speaker 2: I don't remember? So he is one of the jokers
- 7:42Speaker 2: like goons, and he's one of the people who's with him.
- 7:45Speaker 2: He gets caught. When he gets caught, his name texts
- 7:48Speaker 2: Rachel Dawes, Oh.
- 7:50Speaker 3: No, Like, what the fuck does this mean?
- 7:52Speaker 2: That's not good exactly, So he just laughs. He says
- 7:55Speaker 2: nothing and just laughs. He's in an ambulance. Harvey Dinkotts
- 7:59Speaker 2: in the amb and is like, oh, this guy is
- 8:01Speaker 2: threatening my girlfriend.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Well, well, first I think before this doesn't jesus. Yeah,
- 8:07Speaker 3: so Gordon the Joker fires at the mayor during the
- 8:13Speaker 3: like the funeral procession, you know, they fire guns and uh,
- 8:17Speaker 3: the Joker turns and fires at the mayor and Gordon
- 8:20Speaker 3: jumps in front of the mayor and is shot by
- 8:22Speaker 3: the Joker and dies. So Dent knows Gordon is dead.
- 8:27Speaker 3: He knows this fucking guy is now threatening Rachel, and
- 8:30Speaker 3: he's like, you start to realize at this point Harvey's
- 8:32Speaker 3: a little unhinged. You're like, uh oh, and he's sort
- 8:35Speaker 3: of like fuck this shit, and he just steals the
- 8:37Speaker 3: ambulance with the guy inside.
- 8:39Speaker 2: That's so great. Yeah. Yeah, So they go tell the
- 8:47Speaker 2: guy from Angel and Ramirez go tell Gordon's family that
- 8:51Speaker 2: Gordon is dead. And I always no you go ahead, Ryan, No,
- 8:56Speaker 2: I just always love the shot of just Batman like
- 8:58Speaker 2: standing on their porch or like crawled up in their porch.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I don't know why. I always thought there's a cool image.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, Gordon's wife blames Batman for his death.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Gordon's wife is hot, and I looked her up and
- 9:12Speaker 3: I did not realize this. For mad Men fans out there,
- 9:15Speaker 3: Bobby Barrett, who's the wife of the comedian Jimmy Barrett
- 9:19Speaker 3: that has an affair with Don that basically leads to
- 9:22Speaker 3: Don's divorce. That Bobby Barrett is jim Gordon's wife.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Wow, mm hm.
- 9:30Speaker 3: And so wait, uh when is this? When is Harvey?
- 9:40Speaker 3: What does Harvey do with this guy? David? Has this
- 9:42Speaker 3: already happened?
- 9:44Speaker 2: It hasn't happened yet, because we go we cut to
- 9:46Speaker 2: the club with Maroney.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yes, okay, all right, so sorry jumping backwards for a second.
- 9:52Speaker 3: So the cops put off the bat signal and Gordon's
- 9:55Speaker 3: not there, obviously because he's dead. They put up the
- 9:57Speaker 3: bat signal and they say he's not coming. He doesn't
- 10:00Speaker 3: want to talk to us, but God health whoever he
- 10:03Speaker 3: does want to talk to.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Again. Another great just cut to Maroni just in the
- 10:08Speaker 2: club and you're like, oh no, this is not gonna
- 10:10Speaker 2: be good for him. The girlfriend's like, can we go
- 10:13Speaker 2: somewhere and talk? And he's like, what makes me? What
- 10:15Speaker 2: makes you think I want to hear you talk? Unreal?
- 10:19Speaker 2: And then this just looks so cool. It's just because
- 10:21Speaker 2: the club lights are flashing. All you see is people
- 10:23Speaker 2: just getting completely thrown off, like this railing punched out
- 10:27Speaker 2: of the way, and Batman just grabs grabs Falconi, Oh wow, Marony,
- 10:33Speaker 2: sorry geez, and is like we need to talk, and
- 10:37Speaker 2: then you cut to him throwing him off the building
- 10:40Speaker 2: and horribly breaking his feet.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Well, so he's holding him off the building and Maroney says,
- 10:45Speaker 3: can I give you it? He's not scared at all,
- 10:47Speaker 3: and he goes, can I give you a tip if
- 10:49Speaker 3: you're trying to intimidate me, don't bring me this high
- 10:51Speaker 3: up because this fall is not going to kill me.
- 10:53Speaker 3: It would just break my legs. And then Batman says.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I'm counting on it, and he throws.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Them off the building, which is which is great. Uh,
- 11:02Speaker 3: And so Harvey calls Rachel and says, you're not safe
- 11:06Speaker 3: with Gordon's men. Get away from Gordon's men, and Rachel says,
- 11:10Speaker 3: but Jim, we trust Jim, and Jim vouch for these people.
- 11:13Speaker 3: And Harvey great point, says, and he's dead. Yes, so
- 11:18Speaker 3: and so she So Harvey says, who can we trust?
- 11:21Speaker 3: And Rachel Bruce? We can definitely trust Bruce. And Harvey's like,
- 11:25Speaker 3: all right, Rachel, I know he's your friend. But and
- 11:27Speaker 3: then Rachel says, listen, Harvey just trusts me. Bruce's penthouse
- 11:31Speaker 3: is the safest place in the entire city. And Harvey
- 11:35Speaker 3: doesn't question that. It's like, hmm, why would that be
- 11:37Speaker 3: the case. Yeah, yeah, So Batman says, where's the joker?
- 11:43Speaker 3: And Eric Roberts says, I have no idea.
- 11:45Speaker 1: He must have friends.
- 11:46Speaker 3: And Eric roberts response is friends, have you met this guy?
- 11:51Speaker 2: I love it?
- 11:54Speaker 3: Uh And and this is fucking great the joke. This
- 11:57Speaker 3: is when the and the the teaser trailer the bat
- 11:59Speaker 3: symbols are to break apart. The Joker is winning and
- 12:02Speaker 3: defeating Batman. Eric Roberts says, Maroney, Eric Roberts is playing him.
- 12:07Speaker 3: No one's gonna talk to you to Batman, or why
- 12:09Speaker 3: is your act? You've got rules and jokers no rules.
- 12:13Speaker 3: The only way to find him is to take off
- 12:14Speaker 3: that mask. So you're gonna do that? Are you're gonna
- 12:17Speaker 3: let a few more people get killed.
- 12:18Speaker 2: First before you make up your mind.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Yeah, before you make up your mind. Yeah, exactly, exactly,
- 12:25Speaker 3: and yeah, So now explain what Harvey is doing to
- 12:28Speaker 3: that actor you love, David. I can't say his last name.
- 12:31Speaker 2: David dust Mulchin. People, I should shout him out. People
- 12:35Speaker 2: probably seen him in a million things. He's in a
- 12:36Speaker 2: ton of stuff. Suicide Squad, Great Polka Dot Man twenty
- 12:41Speaker 2: forty nine, a movie as you all know I love.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Some people say he's the best Polka Dot Man.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I mean one of the also great Late Night with
- 12:50Speaker 2: the Devil, amazing horror movie. Check it out. So he
- 12:55Speaker 2: Harvey is like in a train station area, like under
- 12:58Speaker 2: a train station with the way I don't know how
- 13:00Speaker 2: to describe it. It looks like train tracks unless I'm wrong.
- 13:04Speaker 2: He's interrogating. His name is Schiff, and he's like what
- 13:09Speaker 2: is like, like what is he? What are you guys doing?
- 13:11Speaker 2: What is your plan? And he just won't respond to him,
- 13:14Speaker 2: and Harvey's like, okay, fine, pulls the coin out and
- 13:17Speaker 2: it's like, uh, we're gonna decide your fate here, and
- 13:23Speaker 2: Schiff starts to crack a little, but Harvey flips the coin.
- 13:28Speaker 2: B Man catches it, and he's like, you're gonna leave
- 13:31Speaker 2: someone's life to chance.
- 13:32Speaker 3: You need to leave a man's life to chance, and
- 13:34Speaker 3: Harvey says, not exactly, because again it's a trick coin.
- 13:37Speaker 3: So you reacted, Batman, and Batman explains this is a
- 13:43Speaker 3: paranoid schizophrenic from Arkham. He's not going to be of
- 13:46Speaker 3: help to you, and he's kind of minor.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Joker tracts, Yeah, if.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You go down this path, Jim Gordon will have died
- 13:54Speaker 1: for nothing. You are the hope. I can never be
- 13:58Speaker 1: all the press conference tomorrow. No one else is going
- 14:01Speaker 1: to die.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I love this how the scene ends with him screaming
- 14:06Speaker 2: you can't. You can't give in. You can't, you can't
- 14:11Speaker 2: give in?
- 14:12Speaker 3: Really good, No, go ahead, go because I'm gonna go
- 14:15Speaker 3: to the next thing. So you said you go ahead, Ryan.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, oh wait, Batman, you left him
- 14:19Speaker 2: there with Cheff.
- 14:22Speaker 3: He trusts him. Yeah, okay, Rachel says to Bruce, do
- 14:25Speaker 3: you really think revealing your identity as Batman will make
- 14:28Speaker 3: the Joker stop killing people? Great point?
- 14:32Speaker 2: No, my neighbors Bernard Peters. He gives up to.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Yah, yeah, it will not stop it. Uh. Bruce says,
- 14:42Speaker 3: I don't want to become the person I know I
- 14:45Speaker 3: will have to become to stop the joker, which is
- 14:48Speaker 3: a very great response if i'd put my Devil's Advocate
- 14:53Speaker 3: Duncan Donuts line Patriot fan had on maybe he wants
- 14:57Speaker 3: to quit being Batman because being Batman would suck.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's so like yeah again it comes
- 15:07Speaker 2: up later.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Yeah, And and Bruce is just saying, he goes, hey, Rachel,
- 15:11Speaker 3: just so you know, I'm quitting Batman to be with
- 15:13Speaker 3: you romantically. And I'm just like, I just wrote big problem,
- 15:17Speaker 3: big problem here.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Here's what I'm gonna say in comparison, that is this
- 15:21Speaker 2: discussion here with these two. She says like, please don't
- 15:26Speaker 2: make me your hope for a normal life. And he says,
- 15:29Speaker 2: what you said earlier, did you mean it? And she
- 15:32Speaker 2: says yes, And she says, but if you turn yourself in,
- 15:36Speaker 2: they're not gonna let us be together.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Yes, and yeah, you can't just like hey I'm Batman,
- 15:43Speaker 3: I'm Bruce Wayne and then just go date Rachel.
- 15:46Speaker 2: You're gonna go to jail as Commissioner Gordon. I'm sorry
- 15:49Speaker 2: a spoiler alert. As Gordon told us earlier, you know,
- 15:56Speaker 2: the rule is to arrest the Valencian's vigilante is Batman
- 16:01Speaker 2: on site. So yes, he comes out of this.
- 16:05Speaker 3: And Alfred, having being the most sensical person, says Bruce says,
- 16:10Speaker 3: people are dying, Alfred, what would you have me do?
- 16:12Speaker 3: And Alfred says, indue.
- 16:14Speaker 2: It was a great trailer line too.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Yep, and also really good point. Alfred says, so I
- 16:19Speaker 3: guess I'm going to jail too, Like you didn't consult
- 16:22Speaker 3: me on this decision at all, but I would be
- 16:24Speaker 3: going to jail as your accomplice. And then Bruce responds,
- 16:27Speaker 3: I'm telling them the whole thing was your idea.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Such a great line. I'm gonna say, stop saying this.
- 16:32Speaker 2: My god, I just keep yammering, and I feel like
- 16:34Speaker 2: Ed McMahon today more than usual.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Wait, why what did you do?
- 16:37Speaker 2: I just keep saying that was great, that was funny.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Is great, is great?
- 16:41Speaker 2: Great?
- 16:41Speaker 3: I always think of that the Alec Baldwin, Uh what's
- 16:45Speaker 3: his name, Tony Bennett? Yeah, great, great show for you tonight,
- 16:48Speaker 3: and everything's great. But I do that all the time too.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a great movie. So everything is great,
- 16:53Speaker 3: and if you don't think that is great, then you're
- 16:55Speaker 3: not great. So just listen to this great pod and
- 16:57Speaker 3: be great. Dan is doing the press conference, and he's like, listen,
- 17:03Speaker 3: we shouldn't say who Batman is to the Joker. We
- 17:06Speaker 3: shouldn't do this because we're scared. We were happy to
- 17:09Speaker 3: let Batman clean up our messes before this. And the
- 17:11Speaker 3: crowd says, but it's he didn't clean up anything. The
- 17:14Speaker 3: city's worse than ever, fair fair point r. And Harvey
- 17:18Speaker 3: says the night, the night is dark at just before
- 17:20Speaker 3: the dawn, the Batman will have to answer to us
- 17:23Speaker 3: as the people, but not this madman the Joker. Cops,
- 17:27Speaker 3: of course, only caring about themselves, yells, yell, no more
- 17:30Speaker 3: dead cops. Then Harvey says, all right, so be it.
- 17:34Speaker 3: I am Batman, Take me into custody.
- 17:36Speaker 2: I do love the random citizen will I now think
- 17:39Speaker 2: is a citizen from Pawnee. It's a random just curly
- 17:42Speaker 2: hair guy. She should turn himself in.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Oh you know, it's definitely from Pawnee. Is the guy
- 17:47Speaker 3: on the ferry? I wrote in the notes, everyone's the
- 17:50Speaker 3: least favorite coworker is what I named him. But so
- 17:54Speaker 3: Harvey says, I'm the Batman. Arrest me, and then Bruce goes.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I knew he was Batman the whole time.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Then he picks up his phone and says, Rachel, will
- 18:03Speaker 3: you be my girlfriend?
- 18:05Speaker 2: It's like, Bruce, you're doing the voice and you're not
- 18:07Speaker 2: wearing the suit. You gotta be careful.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Rachel's pissed. What to Bruce? Why would you let Harvey
- 18:12Speaker 3: do this?
- 18:14Speaker 4: Uh?
- 18:14Speaker 2: And fuck him? Hey?
- 18:17Speaker 1: Will you kiss me?
- 18:18Speaker 2: I love you? Good?
- 18:20Speaker 4: Right?
- 18:21Speaker 3: We're cool.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Right, I'm like Lucius, like Bruce, come on, like Bruce,
- 18:26Speaker 2: you have to let this go, like Lucy is always
- 18:28Speaker 2: like the gravity, like like Alfred, It's just.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Like come on and uh. Rachel gives an envelope to
- 18:34Speaker 3: Alfred and says, give this to Bruce when the time
- 18:36Speaker 3: is right, and Alfred says, how will I know when
- 18:39Speaker 3: the time is right? And Rachel says the envelope is
- 18:41Speaker 3: not sealed, meaning Alfred's allowed to read it. Sorry, go ahead, Ryan.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Then she hugs him and says goodbye. So you know,
- 18:51Speaker 2: what is the plan there? Like? Is she leaving Gotham?
- 18:58Speaker 2: Like I just never like the goodbye is so final, and.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Then I think she's done with Bruce. She hates this situation,
- 19:06Speaker 3: and she's like, Harvey's gonna get out of this because
- 19:09Speaker 3: he's not Batman. Yeah, and whatever happens when Harvey gets
- 19:14Speaker 3: out of this, I'm gonna be with Harvey and I'm
- 19:16Speaker 3: done with Bruce and this Batman bullshit.
- 19:18Speaker 2: So but you're walking around town, you go to a restaurant,
- 19:21Speaker 2: Bruce's there. What are we doing?
- 19:23Speaker 3: Like, I mean, people run into their exes. It's a
- 19:26Speaker 3: part of life. You gotta deal with it.
- 19:28Speaker 2: That's true. That's a good point. Yeah, I know, it's
- 19:31Speaker 2: just very final. And I'm like, what does she know that?
- 19:33Speaker 2: Does she know? My time is coming?
- 19:36Speaker 3: So basically, then they're going to transfer Harvey. He gets
- 19:42Speaker 3: arrested for being Batman, They're going to transfer him to
- 19:45Speaker 3: another jail. And Rachel's like, wait, what is going on?
- 19:49Speaker 3: And Harvey says, yeah, I'm bait. The Joker is going
- 19:52Speaker 3: to try to kill me as I'm being transferred. Everybody
- 19:54Speaker 3: knows this, and Batman will stop him and the Joker
- 19:58Speaker 3: will be caught and I'll be proven to know Batman
- 20:00Speaker 3: and everything is great. And then Rachel's like, I don't
- 20:03Speaker 3: like this.
- 20:06Speaker 2: I do again. I feel like both the Rachel love
- 20:11Speaker 2: triangle here doesn't have a lot of chemistry. I really
- 20:15Speaker 2: like this kiss that is really good. The music does
- 20:20Speaker 2: a great job. Yeah, I forgot, Yeah that Brian the
- 20:25Speaker 2: Brian sets her is playing. I almost wish that, like
- 20:32Speaker 2: the Harvey Dent and Rachel thing was not as in
- 20:37Speaker 2: deep as it is. I almost think it would have
- 20:39Speaker 2: been more remiss if like their relationship was just starting
- 20:42Speaker 2: and it was just that this thing cut off before
- 20:45Speaker 2: it was too you know, but cut off before it
- 20:46Speaker 2: was anything. I think it would have been so much more.
- 20:49Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe it's just me, but.
- 20:53Speaker 3: I just had a birth. I just had a birth
- 20:54Speaker 3: jar moment. And you I think you were at negative
- 20:58Speaker 3: one because I had birth twice, and then you burped
- 21:01Speaker 3: once and you're at negative once. Now you're at negative two,
- 21:04Speaker 3: so you have two freebies because of me. And I'm
- 21:07Speaker 3: really proud of your burp jar efforts. You had one
- 21:10Speaker 3: for the A podcast recently, but it was totally not
- 21:14Speaker 3: your fault because you didn't know I was recording.
- 21:17Speaker 5: It's okay, it was it was the the first second
- 21:21Speaker 5: was a burp, which is great, and then the first
- 21:25Speaker 5: second of the Dark Knight trilogy introduction, was you saying fuck?
- 21:29Speaker 3: That's how I saw it.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it showed up when it downloaded. It showed up
- 21:33Speaker 2: as the translation, and I just started laughing. The first
- 21:37Speaker 2: word is just fuck with Dastris.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yep, I want to reference. There's a lot
- 21:44Speaker 3: of great random actors in this. They go to transfer
- 21:49Speaker 3: Harvey and a bunch of cops in riot gear armor
- 21:54Speaker 3: come out and one of the main the main driver,
- 21:58Speaker 3: his passenger and shotgun is the cop is Nikki Cat. Yeah,
- 22:03Speaker 3: Niki Ca all right? Oh he was in Insomnia. I
- 22:06Speaker 3: didn't know that.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Yes, yeah he was.
- 22:09Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go through Nikki Cat. He was in Gremlins,
- 22:12Speaker 3: which I did not know. Really he was a school child,
- 22:16Speaker 3: was his role?
- 22:17Speaker 2: Oh imagine he's like Mohawk.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Waiter and sister act and then real roles Dazed and Confused,
- 22:26Speaker 3: The Babysitter, A Time to Kill, Suburbia, Batman and Robin.
- 22:30Speaker 3: He was in Batman and Robin, Phantoms, The Limey, Boiler
- 22:36Speaker 3: Room Rules, An Engagement, The Way of the Gun, Insomnia,
- 22:41Speaker 3: Second Hand Lions, School of Rock, Sin City, Death Proof,
- 22:46Speaker 3: Planet Serra, and most importantly for me, Harry Senate in
- 22:53Speaker 3: Boston Public, which me and Ben fucking loved. Harry Senate.
- 22:57Speaker 3: He was a voice in King of the Hill, he
- 22:59Speaker 3: was in Friends, I'm sure, and unfortunately so he's this
- 23:07Speaker 3: random character actor that I always really liked. He was
- 23:10Speaker 3: awesome in Boston Public, which was a It was a
- 23:13Speaker 3: one hour drama show about high school in Boston when
- 23:16Speaker 3: we were in high school, I believe. So I watched
- 23:19Speaker 3: it religiously and because that was like so gimmicky at
- 23:22Speaker 3: the time, like, holy shit, there's a show in Boston,
- 23:24Speaker 3: because shows and movies at that time were not filmed
- 23:26Speaker 3: or taking place in Boston, like everything was in New
- 23:29Speaker 3: York or California. It was really cool, but very sadly
- 23:35Speaker 3: he committed suicide and last year I.
- 23:39Speaker 2: Know that, Oh wow, that recent. Really he had.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Been Richard Link later paid tribute to him. Robert Rodriguez
- 23:49Speaker 4: paid tribute to him. He was fifty four and he
- 23:53Speaker 4: was living in an apartment in Burbank and the landlord
- 23:56Speaker 4: went to confront him because he hadn't paid his rent,
- 24:00Speaker 4: and the landlord found him dead by hanging. He had
- 24:02Speaker 4: been dead for several days. Really sad, really sad, But
- 24:08Speaker 4: I like Nikki Kad.
- 24:11Speaker 2: So Yeah, he's got that same energy as another character,
- 24:14Speaker 2: and the next movie has it just like are you
- 24:16Speaker 2: ready for this? Like they just know this is going
- 24:18Speaker 2: to go badly. I think it's so great. This next
- 24:23Speaker 2: part is just tremendous.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Yeah, you talk about this because this is this old
- 24:28Speaker 3: car chase scene is one of the coolest parts of
- 24:30Speaker 3: the movie.
- 24:31Speaker 2: So also to decide, note this too in imax. When
- 24:38Speaker 2: this scene plays this, this is when one of the
- 24:40Speaker 2: times when the screen expands to imax eize. So when
- 24:44Speaker 2: the trucks take off and they cut and it's that
- 24:46Speaker 2: great wide shot of all the trucks in the road,
- 24:49Speaker 2: and then you just slowly hear the Joker themes start
- 24:52Speaker 2: to play, and then when that theme plays, that's when
- 24:55Speaker 2: the screen expands and you're like, Okay, this is going
- 24:58Speaker 2: to be fucking huge. Such a great, great idea. So A,
- 25:08Speaker 2: the trucks are just driving kind of like under a
- 25:10Speaker 2: level of the city, kind of like we see a
- 25:12Speaker 2: little bit and Batman begins.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Well, sorry just to interview you for a second. So
- 25:16Speaker 3: they were going to go in Chicago, there's like an
- 25:18Speaker 3: underground roadway system sort of like parts of the tunnels
- 25:23Speaker 3: on like Sturro or the big dig but they're going
- 25:27Speaker 3: to go above ground because they want air cover from
- 25:29Speaker 3: the helicopters. But the Joker blocks the road with a
- 25:33Speaker 3: burning truck, so they are a burning fire truck because
- 25:37Speaker 3: that's because that's funny. A fire truck on fire is
- 25:39Speaker 3: a joke to him. So yeah, that's what draws them
- 25:42Speaker 3: in the underground tunnels.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yeah, and then this is when a very cold shot too,
- 25:49Speaker 2: is when that guy stops the truck. The police officers like,
- 25:52Speaker 2: hey man, you can't go this way, and then the
- 25:53Speaker 2: Joker just pops out and shoots them and they just
- 25:56Speaker 2: cut away, very very very I always thought very like
- 26:04Speaker 2: cold cold part. So Joker comes down with the truck.
- 26:11Speaker 3: The side of the truck it's like a circus truck
- 26:13Speaker 3: to transport a circus from one place to the other,
- 26:16Speaker 3: and it says laughter is the best medicine. And the
- 26:18Speaker 3: Joker spray painted an S in front of laughter, so
- 26:21Speaker 3: it says slaughter is the best medicine. It's a great
- 26:23Speaker 3: little bit.
- 26:26Speaker 2: It's funny for like how Nolan is not like comically funny.
- 26:32Speaker 2: They include so many little gags in this movie. Yeah, yeah,
- 26:38Speaker 2: it's just very surprising. So they I forget how this happens.
- 26:41Speaker 2: One of the squat fens gets nailed into the river
- 26:45Speaker 2: when they're driving.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it just gets like hit by the
- 26:48Speaker 3: truck and I don't remember the details, but like, obviously
- 26:53Speaker 3: Batman shows up in the tumbler to help protect the
- 26:56Speaker 3: transportation of Harvey dissent.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Yes, so Joker is trying to shoot through the truck.
- 27:05Speaker 2: He has a machine he has his regular handgun he
- 27:07Speaker 2: uses like a machine gun. And then what does the
- 27:09Speaker 2: guy say? He's gonna need a hell a lot more
- 27:11Speaker 2: of that to get in here, and they cut to
- 27:12Speaker 2: him with a Bazuka. Great laugh out of the moment.
- 27:17Speaker 2: The guy's like, is that at Bazuka and just blows
- 27:19Speaker 2: into the truck and the tumblr is coming. The tumbler
- 27:24Speaker 2: ends up driving into a garbage truck in an amazing
- 27:27Speaker 2: fucking stunt. Here. So this all we talked about it
- 27:30Speaker 2: before Batman begins. This all was done with miniatures, with
- 27:33Speaker 2: live or big size miniatures, so it's all done kind
- 27:36Speaker 2: of practically. And Batman hits the garbage truck and is
- 27:42Speaker 2: the tumbler is slightly damaged. So then with this shit escalating,
- 27:48Speaker 2: they have to get to the ground, get out of
- 27:51Speaker 2: this tunnel because they need the air support, so the
- 27:56Speaker 2: swat trucks are able to get you know, above ground.
- 27:59Speaker 2: And then Batman inside the tumbler has critical damage.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Because you didn't mention that. You didn't mention this, but
- 28:06Speaker 3: they shoot the Batmobile the tumbler with a bazooka.
- 28:09Speaker 2: That's right, okay, sorry, So the.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Tumbler like basically blows. It doesn't kill Batman, and it's
- 28:15Speaker 3: fine because it's such a heavily armored vehicle, but it's
- 28:17Speaker 3: no longer drivable because it got.
- 28:19Speaker 2: No longer So a just great crowd movie theater moment
- 28:26Speaker 2: here the because we people have seen in the posters
- 28:30Speaker 2: and the trailers that Batman has a motorcycle type vehicle
- 28:33Speaker 2: in this movie. So Batman it pulls over in front
- 28:38Speaker 2: of these guys under the bridge and they're just watching
- 28:41Speaker 2: and you're seeing from their point of view and Batman.
- 28:43Speaker 2: They I think they have one shot of Batman inside
- 28:45Speaker 2: the tumbler and he just presses this eject sequence thing
- 28:49Speaker 2: and all they do is just show you from the
- 28:50Speaker 2: outside how the Batpod they call it, which is the
- 28:53Speaker 2: motorcycle version of it, is part of the tumbler.
- 28:57Speaker 3: So just genius. Everything about it great.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I remember the again another moment the crowd fucking erupted
- 29:04Speaker 2: in this movie when that thing came out, and then
- 29:06Speaker 2: it just the Batman theme just starts blaring. The Tumbler
- 29:10Speaker 2: self destructs and it's just Batman flying, just like taking
- 29:14Speaker 2: those the side mirrors off of cars. Such a cool effect.
- 29:19Speaker 2: I do want to say one thing because I think
- 29:20Speaker 2: this is the last time we see it. Rip to
- 29:23Speaker 2: the Tumbler. You are amazing, Thank you so much. Yeah,
- 29:28Speaker 2: we literally we don't see the game making for the
- 29:30Speaker 2: rest of the series until yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 3: And it's it's I'm glad it self destructs because like
- 29:37Speaker 3: they can recreate plane crashes, so there's no way even
- 29:42Speaker 3: if it self destructs, there's no way that like forensic
- 29:44Speaker 3: investigators can figure out this is from Wind Enterprises in
- 29:47Speaker 3: real life. So but I'm glad it self destructs to
- 29:50Speaker 3: just like try to hide it.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and also like how they like they're gonna be
- 29:54Speaker 2: like what is this thing?
- 29:56Speaker 3: And I want to say the design of the motorcycle
- 29:58Speaker 3: is so cool because he's like Ben Forwards, but I
- 30:01Speaker 3: don't understand what logistically makes sense, But I don't care
- 30:04Speaker 3: because it looks awesome. When it goes around to turn,
- 30:06Speaker 3: the front wheel can rotate on both planes, so obviously
- 30:13Speaker 3: it rotates like a wheel. But then it flips over
- 30:16Speaker 3: itself as it goes around to turn, and it just
- 30:19Speaker 3: looks so sick.
- 30:20Speaker 2: It's just they do it just it's just it's all.
- 30:22Speaker 2: It's just done for like the movie. I don't know
- 30:25Speaker 2: how to describe it, like it's just done to be
- 30:26Speaker 2: like this should be cool, Like it's like, yeah, oh,
- 30:30Speaker 2: such a cool thing. But so he is then chasing
- 30:36Speaker 2: the truck that the Joker's in. Helicopters are on the area,
- 30:41Speaker 2: and then Joker has one of my favorite lines where
- 30:43Speaker 2: he's like rack them up, rack them up, rack them up.
- 30:45Speaker 2: So they shoot these like cables across the buildings and
- 30:49Speaker 2: it tangles one of the helicopters and Nick Kat's like,
- 30:52Speaker 2: well that's not good, and the helicopters crashes, so they
- 30:56Speaker 2: have no air support anymore. It's just the people on
- 30:59Speaker 2: the ground. Yeah. So Batman is just driving through like
- 31:05Speaker 2: he's just driving through a mall I think at one
- 31:07Speaker 2: point in time, which is great. And the sound of
- 31:09Speaker 2: this thing too is also awesome. The sound effects in.
- 31:13Speaker 3: His movies are really excellent. The thuds of his punches.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Batman's punches, the thuds are so heavy and distinct.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Oh but he sorry, trying to put my shoe back
- 31:29Speaker 2: on here it came off. It was too excited. So
- 31:32Speaker 2: he's driving on the street and Jokers heading towards him.
- 31:36Speaker 2: He Joker pushes the guy out of the truck and
- 31:40Speaker 2: he's just driving down the road and Batman is coming
- 31:44Speaker 2: towards them, and it's the famous line up. There's the
- 31:46Speaker 2: Batman and Batman goest, I'm skipping something.
- 31:52Speaker 3: No, this is a ripoff of cry Baby. They have
- 31:54Speaker 3: a game of chicken.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Let's see. This is how an original piece of ship
- 31:58Speaker 2: this movie is.
- 31:59Speaker 3: They actually have two games of chicken, but the first
- 32:01Speaker 3: game of Chicken is with the truck versus the Batman
- 32:05Speaker 3: the batpod so explain that.
- 32:08Speaker 2: So he Batman's coming towards them, he's heading straight on
- 32:12Speaker 2: and he swings around the truck and goes under it,
- 32:17Speaker 2: and it confuses the Joker and the guy in the
- 32:19Speaker 2: truck and he goes out from under it. Meanwhile, he's
- 32:21Speaker 2: lining up cables that go around these light poles and
- 32:24Speaker 2: that stick the cables into the ground, and Joker's like Okay,
- 32:29Speaker 2: He's like he someone says he missed or something like that, right,
- 32:32Speaker 2: doesn't the guys say that, he says they missed. And
- 32:35Speaker 2: then this amazing stunt of the truck flips on its
- 32:40Speaker 2: not on its side, it literally flips up and over,
- 32:42Speaker 2: completely upside down. And this is real, right, this is
- 32:45Speaker 2: for real they shot. I think this is incredible. It's
- 32:47Speaker 2: on YouTube. You can watch this too. They shot a
- 32:50Speaker 2: beam from under the street under the truck into the
- 32:54Speaker 2: back of it to flip it over. They just did
- 32:56Speaker 2: it live on on the street. Such a cool stunt.
- 33:02Speaker 3: I have a question, do you think? And I was
- 33:04Speaker 3: thinking about this because Nolan loves practical effects and directors.
- 33:08Speaker 3: Even though I love practical effects too and I support Nolan,
- 33:10Speaker 3: directors are kind of pricks and they think like you
- 33:13Speaker 3: should only see movies in theaters and it's like, well, no,
- 33:16Speaker 3: you are delusional, and that's not practical anymore given our
- 33:19Speaker 3: lifestyles and the economy. But I wonder, you know, studios
- 33:26Speaker 3: nowadays would be like, let's do this with digital effects.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Let's hire industrial life and let's do industrial light and magic.
- 33:34Speaker 3: And Nolan's like, no, because I'm Christopher Nolan, I want
- 33:37Speaker 3: to do it for real, and they're like, okay with AI,
- 33:40Speaker 3: now are they like, we don't even need to pay
- 33:43Speaker 3: Industrial Light and Magic. Let's just have AI do this.
- 33:47Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure they would do that. I'm sure
- 33:50Speaker 2: that would happen. And again, they don't want to even
- 33:53Speaker 2: like I think a lot of it is. They also
- 33:55Speaker 2: don't want you to pay people to do this work
- 33:57Speaker 2: and carry the stuff out and spend the time and
- 33:59Speaker 2: money to do it. But it's just easier to do
- 34:01Speaker 2: it from a computer. But I think we talked about
- 34:04Speaker 2: this a lot with other stuff. This is if you
- 34:07Speaker 2: think about this, it's a truck flipping over. How many
- 34:10Speaker 2: times have you seen that movies? Millions? Right? Yeah, but
- 34:13Speaker 2: like because this is real, because it's done in such
- 34:16Speaker 2: a bizarre way where it flips completely over, And I
- 34:19Speaker 2: really think because the fact that it's photographically real, it
- 34:22Speaker 2: has so much more impact. And also you care about
- 34:24Speaker 2: what's going on, that's the important thing.
- 34:27Speaker 3: But yeah, it's kind of like the thing, like the
- 34:29Speaker 3: thing you can tell it's practical effects because it doesn't
- 34:32Speaker 3: look real. It looks like practical effects, but it still
- 34:34Speaker 3: looks amazing and it's more impactful because you the viewer
- 34:38Speaker 3: can tell it's real practical effects that look slightly fake
- 34:42Speaker 3: versus CGI.
- 34:44Speaker 2: It's it's a weird like, yeah, it's a weird thing.
- 34:48Speaker 2: I don't. I think it's just truly the human eye.
- 34:50Speaker 2: It's like if this is a digital thing, I think, Okay,
- 34:52Speaker 2: well this didn't happen like I mean, not like you're
- 34:54Speaker 2: saying it, but I almost think like your brain just
- 34:56Speaker 2: puts the like processes it that way.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not it's not the Uncanny value but similar
- 35:00Speaker 3: thing to the Unkimi Valley. It's just yeah, how your
- 35:02Speaker 3: your you subconsciously are like seeing things of the human
- 35:06Speaker 3: eye and how it impacts you mentally, just knowing that
- 35:09Speaker 3: something is real.
- 35:12Speaker 2: It's and what this movie does so well. And I
- 35:15Speaker 2: think when we get to it to the end too,
- 35:17Speaker 2: like this when we does a great job with small
- 35:19Speaker 2: but big where like this this, if you think about it,
- 35:22Speaker 2: it's like a car chase. It's what happens later with
- 35:25Speaker 2: crowds of people. It's not like this epic where like
- 35:28Speaker 2: it's like saving the world or like it's this gigantic thing.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Like it's it's very like small but feels big, which
- 35:34Speaker 2: I like, I think is a great way to like
- 35:37Speaker 2: show you can make something feel epic that is not
- 35:39Speaker 2: insanely epic. Also, like you said earlier, the sound of
- 35:43Speaker 2: the truck flip is awesome. It's so it just sounds
- 35:47Speaker 2: so great. I think that's half the work is just that.
- 35:51Speaker 3: And this this really started so like, I love the
- 35:53Speaker 3: Joker as a character, and depending on how dark of
- 35:56Speaker 3: a time in my life it is, sometimes I identify
- 35:59Speaker 3: more with the Joker than I do with Batman. Even
- 36:01Speaker 3: though you should not blink when the abys looks back
- 36:03Speaker 3: at you, as we established last time. But my Joker
- 36:06Speaker 3: boner at this point in the movie was like a seven.
- 36:09Speaker 3: And this is where I start getting harder and harder.
- 36:12Speaker 3: This is immediately goes to an eight where Joker climbs
- 36:16Speaker 3: out of the truck that just flipped, and he's badly injured,
- 36:20Speaker 3: but he's like limping out of the truck and he
- 36:22Speaker 3: just starts firing a machine gun like indiscriminately at cars
- 36:27Speaker 3: and Batman. I don't know what Batman's thinking. I don't
- 36:29Speaker 3: know if Batman thinks he's gonna scare him, or if
- 36:32Speaker 3: Batman is like genuinely thinking about killing him. But Batman
- 36:37Speaker 3: just decides Joker's a pedestrian. Batman decides in the motorcycle,
- 36:40Speaker 3: I'm going to drive directly at the Joker. So the
- 36:43Speaker 3: Joker stands still and realizes Batman is doing this, and
- 36:46Speaker 3: Joker loves it. He says, he sees this is happening,
- 36:52Speaker 3: and he says, oh wait, hold on, I'm on the
- 36:56Speaker 3: wrong page of notes. He sees Batman is driving in
- 37:00Speaker 3: the motorcycle and he's saying, come on, come on, come on,
- 37:03Speaker 3: hit me, hit me, hit me, and Batman is going
- 37:07Speaker 3: right at him, no hesitation, and Joker doesn't fucking flinch.
- 37:11Speaker 3: And this is really continuing this build up of the
- 37:14Speaker 3: Joker is winning the movie. He's defeating Batman at the
- 37:18Speaker 3: last second. It's so close to being the last second
- 37:22Speaker 3: that Batman swerves to avoid him that he gets in
- 37:24Speaker 3: like a horrible motorcycle accident. Yes, so he loses the
- 37:28Speaker 3: game of Chicken. The Joker has just defeated him in
- 37:30Speaker 3: the game of Chicken, and one of Joker's goons goes
- 37:33Speaker 3: to take off Batman's mask and gets electrocuted, which is
- 37:36Speaker 3: a great shout out to moments in the comics where like,
- 37:38Speaker 3: if Batman's unconscious, you can't just take off his mask.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Obviously he's prepared for that, and Joker says like no, no, no, like,
- 37:48Speaker 3: don't don't do that. I got it, and he pulls
- 37:50Speaker 3: out a knife and then that's when the twist is revealed. Ryan,
- 37:54Speaker 3: what happens that.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Someone puts a gun to his head? Yes, and he's
- 38:00Speaker 2: I love this line. Will you just give me a minute?
- 38:03Speaker 2: Could you please? That's says yes, and he's like, we
- 38:07Speaker 2: got you, son of a bitch, and it's James Gordon is.
- 38:10Speaker 3: Alive, even though he told he had. He faced his
- 38:14Speaker 3: death to the point where he didn't tell his family.
- 38:17Speaker 3: The police went and told his family. Jim died.
- 38:22Speaker 2: I was trying to find this and I could not.
- 38:24Speaker 2: I scoured for it yesterday. There was a review at
- 38:27Speaker 2: the time that talks about the zapp scene when Joker
- 38:33Speaker 2: tries to pull the mat when the guy tries to
- 38:34Speaker 2: pull the mask off and the gu gets electrocuted, and
- 38:36Speaker 2: Joker's reaction to it, where he's so overjoyed, and this
- 38:39Speaker 2: critic wrote this just really well written thing about Oh,
- 38:43Speaker 2: this is when the Joker truly realizes I have met
- 38:46Speaker 2: my equal, because this guy cares so much about this
- 38:50Speaker 2: insane thing. He's doing that even if he's unconscious, he
- 38:54Speaker 2: will not let you ruin it, like he will not
- 38:56Speaker 2: let you touch it. And like that's why he like
- 38:58Speaker 2: giggles and like flails like a little kid, like he's
- 39:01Speaker 2: so excited that this guy is just as down as
- 39:03Speaker 2: he is it and I think it was this great review.
- 39:06Speaker 3: That's that's such an amazing point. And the game of Chicken.
- 39:08Speaker 3: The Joker he doesn't even he doesn't have value of
- 39:11Speaker 3: his own life, and he's genuinely like figuring Batman out,
- 39:15Speaker 3: and through the first half of the movie, I think
- 39:16Speaker 3: he genuinely does want Batman dead. He wants to know
- 39:20Speaker 3: his secret identity. And this is the moment that changes
- 39:23Speaker 3: it where he's starting to figure Batman out, this this
- 39:26Speaker 3: game of Chicken, and he's like, wait a minute, I
- 39:29Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna kill me. And he's like, all right,
- 39:32Speaker 3: let's find out. And if if he kills me, if
- 39:34Speaker 3: I get killed by this motorcycle, whatever, you know, I
- 39:37Speaker 3: had a good run, did kind of what I wanted
- 39:39Speaker 3: to do, but I don't think he's going to And
- 39:42Speaker 3: then when he bails the last second to save Joker's life,
- 39:46Speaker 3: getting in a horrible motorcycle accident and getting knocked out,
- 39:50Speaker 3: plus the mask being protected by electric electricity. The Joker's like, oh,
- 39:55Speaker 3: I love this, I love this so much. This is
- 39:57Speaker 3: the moment where everything just for the Joker, and it
- 40:02Speaker 3: leads to Ryan the best scene of the movie, the
- 40:07Speaker 3: best Batman scene ever in fiction, one of the best
- 40:14Speaker 3: movie scenes in my opinion of all time.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Yeah, Gordon becomes commissioner. It's a great scene.
- 40:23Speaker 3: He does get promoted a commissioner, and everybody's really excited
- 40:25Speaker 3: for him.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Each ship commissioner Lobe, by the.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Way, well he's dead, so I mean.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Well, no, he made that comment. He's like, it's something
- 40:32Speaker 2: you'll never experience.
- 40:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a dickhead comment. Yeah, so, Ryan, you're
- 40:37Speaker 3: gonna have to humor me. I'm going to recreate this scene,
- 40:40Speaker 3: and in this scene, Batman will be portrayed by Timothy
- 40:44Speaker 3: Cuff and the Joker in this scene will be portrayed
- 40:49Speaker 3: also by Timothy Cuff. Okay, so this is in every
- 40:54Speaker 3: single trailer, but it's still worth repeating because it's amazing.
- 40:57Speaker 3: The mayor so Jokers in jail, they fully soared him,
- 41:00Speaker 3: they fingerprinted him, they took his DNA, they did everything
- 41:03Speaker 3: so the mayor goes Gordon, what do we got? Gordon
- 41:06Speaker 3: says nothing, no matches on prints, DNA, dental clothing, his custom,
- 41:11Speaker 3: no labels, nothing in his pockets but knives in lint.
- 41:15Speaker 3: That line was in every trailer. I heard that line
- 41:17Speaker 3: like ten thousand times. Yeah, no name, no other alias.
- 41:22Speaker 3: And that's what's so important about the Joker is the
- 41:26Speaker 3: Joker is no one. He has no they they have
- 41:29Speaker 3: no record of him, DNA, dental fingerprints. It doesn't matter
- 41:33Speaker 3: who he is. That's that's not the point. And he
- 41:36Speaker 3: is custom clothing like he made it. They can't even
- 41:39Speaker 3: track a purchase. Amazing. And they say when they say
- 41:42Speaker 3: nothing in his pockets but knives and lint, the Joker
- 41:45Speaker 3: had like twenty seven knives on in person when he
- 41:49Speaker 3: was arrested. Yeah, so that's a great point. The mayor
- 41:56Speaker 3: promotes Gordon a commissioner. Everyone claps. I wrote, wouldn't be
- 41:59Speaker 3: so happy considering what happened to the last commissioner. And
- 42:03Speaker 3: the Joker is clapping as well. He's very happy for Jim.
- 42:10Speaker 3: And Jim goes home, tells his wife, Hey, I'm actually
- 42:14Speaker 3: not dead. She's pissed for some reason, and his little
- 42:19Speaker 3: stupid shit. Son says, did Batman see you, daddy? And
- 42:26Speaker 3: he says, that is literally the Yoda voice?
- 42:29Speaker 2: What is exactly always said it? He's played by an
- 42:33Speaker 2: adult man, and he.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Says, actually, this time I saved him.
- 42:37Speaker 2: That's what Jim says, which I liked at the little moment.
- 42:41Speaker 3: So cut to this is the best scene in the film.
- 42:45Speaker 3: What I was talking about the interrogation room between the
- 42:48Speaker 3: Joker and Commissioner Gordon. Jokers happy about his promotions, so
- 42:53Speaker 3: he says evening. Commissioner Jim says, so Harvey Dent made
- 43:00Speaker 3: at home? What have you done with them?
- 43:03Speaker 2: Me?
- 43:03Speaker 3: And he's like looking around, confused right here? Who did
- 43:08Speaker 3: you leave him with your people? If they still are
- 43:11Speaker 3: your people and not Maroney's, Does it depress you, commissioner,
- 43:16Speaker 3: knowing how alone you really are? And that's such an
- 43:20Speaker 3: important note too, because Joker is truly alone. He's as
- 43:24Speaker 3: alone of a person as you can be, and it
- 43:26Speaker 3: doesn't bother him. And that's another thing of the Joker
- 43:29Speaker 3: being incorruptible from his mission. Who's the Gem's like, where
- 43:37Speaker 3: is Harvey Dent?
- 43:38Speaker 4: Well?
- 43:39Speaker 3: What time is it? What does that matter? What time
- 43:41Speaker 3: it is? Well, depending on the time. He could be
- 43:44Speaker 3: in one place or several.
- 43:46Speaker 2: I love that his face after two is great? Do
- 43:49Speaker 2: you understand what I mean is great? Yes?
- 43:52Speaker 3: And Gordon's like, all right, if we're gonna play games,
- 43:55Speaker 3: I'm gonna need a cup of coffee. And then Gordon
- 43:57Speaker 3: takes the Joker's cuffs off, which, even though one is
- 44:00Speaker 3: incredibly dangerous, I would think I was like, immediately gonna
- 44:02Speaker 3: get stabbed in the next somehow. Yeah, And the Joker says, oh,
- 44:07Speaker 3: the good cop bad cop routine, and Jim says not exactly.
- 44:10Speaker 3: And then the light turns on and the entire time
- 44:13Speaker 3: behind Joker Batman was there. And Batman, such a great shot,
- 44:18Speaker 3: grabs the back of his skull and slams his face
- 44:20Speaker 3: into the metal interrogation table, and Joker says, oh, don't
- 44:26Speaker 3: start with the head. The victim gets all fuzzy.
- 44:29Speaker 1: You wanted me here here, I am.
- 44:33Speaker 3: I wanted to see what you do, and you didn't disappoint.
- 44:35Speaker 3: You let five people die and then you let the
- 44:38Speaker 3: Dent take the fall for you. Great point by the Joker.
- 44:41Speaker 1: Where's Dent?
- 44:43Speaker 3: Those mob fools want you gone so we can go
- 44:45Speaker 3: back to the way things were. But I know the
- 44:47Speaker 3: truth and there's no going back.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Then, why do you want to kill me?
- 44:51Speaker 3: And this is so fucking important for the dynamic of
- 44:54Speaker 3: Batman and the Joker. The Joker laughs and goes, I
- 44:57Speaker 3: don't want to kill you. What would I do with that?
- 44:59Speaker 3: With you go go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, no, no, no,
- 45:03Speaker 3: you complete.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Me your garbage who kills for money?
- 45:08Speaker 3: Don't talk like one of them. You're not. That's such
- 45:10Speaker 3: a great line too, like the Joker, and he's not
- 45:13Speaker 3: really wrong, like the Joker and Batman are in the
- 45:16Speaker 3: same bucket of people in Gotham City.
- 45:21Speaker 2: His next line is, like, the most important part.
- 45:25Speaker 3: Is you're not even if you'd like to be to them,
- 45:28Speaker 3: you're just a freak like me. They need you right now,
- 45:32Speaker 3: but when they don't, they'll cast you out like a
- 45:35Speaker 3: like a leaper. They're morals their code. It's a bad
- 45:38Speaker 3: joke dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only
- 45:42Speaker 3: as good as the world allows them to be. I'll
- 45:45Speaker 3: show you when the chips are down, civilized people will
- 45:48Speaker 3: eat each other. I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead
- 45:51Speaker 3: of the curb.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Also love the shirt and best by the way, Oh.
- 45:56Speaker 3: Yeah, his suit is, and you'd like buy the Halloween costume,
- 46:00Speaker 3: like like this is a constant problem. Everybody did this. Nope,
- 46:02Speaker 3: only losers like me. Did you buy the Halloween costume?
- 46:05Speaker 3: It looks like shit because Boat, Yeah, right exactly, So
- 46:09Speaker 3: you're better off just not even don't even try to
- 46:11Speaker 3: do the heath Ledger, Batman. If you're gonna be the
- 46:13Speaker 3: Joker for Halloween, trust me, I have been the Joker
- 46:16Speaker 3: multiple times. Don't even try to do the heath Ledger, Batman,
- 46:18Speaker 3: because you're gonna look like a dumbass who's like fourteen
- 46:22Speaker 3: cosplaying as the Joker. Yeah, I've done it to Ryan.
- 46:26Speaker 3: So he's he's basically saying that, like people are inherently bad.
- 46:33Speaker 3: This is like owl Man, you think that they need you,
- 46:37Speaker 3: and they do right now, but the second that they
- 46:40Speaker 3: don't want you or need you, they will turn on
- 46:42Speaker 3: you immediately. And Batman's sick of this, so he starts
- 46:48Speaker 3: to get violent and he slams Joker against the wall.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Ohere's dent. See you have all these rules and they
- 46:54Speaker 3: think you'll save you.
- 46:58Speaker 1: It's just changing my notes.
- 47:02Speaker 3: The it cuts the gym and the cops watching the
- 47:05Speaker 3: interrogation and they're a little nervous because things are turning violent.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Well, when he runs over and puts the chair under
- 47:11Speaker 2: the door, they're like, oh.
- 47:12Speaker 3: Well, no, that's not that's not that's not yet.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Okay, that's not yet.
- 47:16Speaker 3: So the cops are getting nervous. Is getting a little violent,
- 47:18Speaker 3: And Batman says because jokers talking about how you have rules,
- 47:21Speaker 3: And Batman says, I only have one rule, which means
- 47:24Speaker 3: I don't kill people.
- 47:26Speaker 2: Quite in the library.
- 47:32Speaker 1: You have to eat your crust when you eat a
- 47:34Speaker 1: slice of pizza, wash.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Your hands like that video.
- 47:37Speaker 3: Yeah, well, then that's the one you'll have to break
- 47:43Speaker 3: to know that. Know the truth, which is the only
- 47:46Speaker 3: sensible way to live in this world, is wellout rules.
- 47:49Speaker 3: And tonight you're gonna break your one rule.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I'm considering it.
- 47:53Speaker 3: I thought that was funny, like he's joking with him. Well,
- 47:57Speaker 3: there's only a few minutes left, so you're gonna have
- 47:59Speaker 3: to play my little game if you want to save
- 48:01Speaker 3: one of them them. For a while, I really thought
- 48:06Speaker 3: you were Harvey Dent because the way you threw yourself
- 48:08Speaker 3: after her. And the second Batman realizes, holy shit, he
- 48:12Speaker 3: kidnapped Rachel. He does something to Rachel he grabs a
- 48:15Speaker 3: chair and goes and locks the door, and then Jim's like,
- 48:17Speaker 3: oh no, this is not good. And Joker says, look
- 48:23Speaker 3: at you go. Does Harvey know about you and his
- 48:25Speaker 3: little bunny and Batman? So this is interrogation room like
- 48:29Speaker 3: bullet proof glass. He takes the side of Joker's head
- 48:33Speaker 3: and smashes it against the glass so hard the glass
- 48:36Speaker 3: window completely cracks. Yeah, and uh, he screams, where are
- 48:42Speaker 3: they killing? Is making a choice, It's choosing between one
- 48:46Speaker 3: life or the other. And then Batman punches Joker in
- 48:49Speaker 3: the face as hard as he can and you hear
- 48:52Speaker 3: this like deep thud. It's like shakes your seat in
- 48:56Speaker 3: the movie theater thud of how hard he's punching Joker
- 48:59Speaker 3: in the face and screams, again, where are they choose
- 49:04Speaker 3: your friend the district attorney? Or is blushing bride to be?
- 49:11Speaker 2: I never picked up on this. Does he know that
- 49:15Speaker 2: Harvey was going to propose to her? Because again he
- 49:21Speaker 2: was able to get people's DNA. So I'm like, oh, Man, like,
- 49:25Speaker 2: are they alluding to the fact that he knows this
- 49:27Speaker 2: that Bruce doesn't, And it's just like whoa, whoa.
- 49:33Speaker 3: This is the single my single favorite woman in the
- 49:35Speaker 3: entire movie. So Batman is just losing it and starts
- 49:41Speaker 3: punching him in the face as hard as he can,
- 49:44Speaker 3: over and over and over again, and the entire time
- 49:47Speaker 3: the Joker is laughing hysterically. And this is when Batman
- 49:51Speaker 3: truly has lost What do you do if you're a
- 49:54Speaker 3: Batman and all you've done is intimidate criminals since you started?
- 49:57Speaker 3: What do you do if you're anyone, if you're an MMA,
- 50:00Speaker 3: if you're a guy in a bar fight, if you're
- 50:02Speaker 3: a guy on the street, what do you do if
- 50:04Speaker 3: you're punching someone in the face over and over again
- 50:07Speaker 3: and they're laughing hysterically at you, And Joker says, you
- 50:10Speaker 3: have nothing. You have nothing to threaten me with. You
- 50:14Speaker 3: have nothing to do with all your strength. That is
- 50:19Speaker 3: so fucking incredible. That's all Batman is. He's he has
- 50:23Speaker 3: a super suit, he's mastered martial arts, he's very strong,
- 50:29Speaker 3: he's intimidating, he's brilliant. He has all these gadgets, and
- 50:33Speaker 3: he realizes they're completely ineffective in this situation. I have
- 50:38Speaker 3: nothing to do. Yeah, unbelievable. Don't worry, I'll tell you
- 50:46Speaker 3: where they are. Both of them, and that's the point
- 50:49Speaker 3: you'll have to choose. And this is another part I hate.
- 50:52Speaker 3: So he says, dance here at this address. Rachel's at
- 50:56Speaker 3: this other address, and Gordon says, who are you going after?
- 50:59Speaker 3: And Bruce immediately goes Rachel. So the cops go after Harvey,
- 51:03Speaker 3: and Bruce is immediately like, fuck Gotham. I don't care.
- 51:06Speaker 3: If Gotham can be saved by Harvey Dent. It actually
- 51:09Speaker 3: would have saved the movie in a lot of ways
- 51:11Speaker 3: and like made it perfect if he chose to go
- 51:13Speaker 3: after Harvey and let Rachel die because he knew that
- 51:16Speaker 3: was for the greater good. But no, he just selfishly
- 51:19Speaker 3: goes for Rachel because he wants to date and quit
- 51:21Speaker 3: being Batman so we can do so yeah, terrible. So
- 51:28Speaker 3: they're both So the Gordon and his team leave to
- 51:30Speaker 3: go get Harvey. Bruce leaves to go get Rachel. There's
- 51:34Speaker 3: a crazy guy in a holding tank that's mentioning his
- 51:37Speaker 3: stomach hurts, and this is another fantastic Joker moment. So
- 51:45Speaker 3: Gordon's right hand man is watching Joker personally in the
- 51:49Speaker 3: holding cell while everybody's looking for Harvey and Rachel. So
- 51:54Speaker 3: Joker says, how many of your friends have I killed?
- 51:59Speaker 3: And the guy says six, and Joker goes, yikes, I
- 52:08Speaker 3: want to know why I use a knife because guns
- 52:11Speaker 3: are too quick. You can't savor all the emotions because
- 52:14Speaker 3: in their last moments, a person really shows you who
- 52:18Speaker 3: they are. So in a way, I knew your friends
- 52:22Speaker 3: better than you ever did. Would you like to know
- 52:25Speaker 3: which of them were cowards? So that guy is just like,
- 52:29Speaker 3: all right, fuck it, I'm just gonna beat him to death.
- 52:33Speaker 3: And then the Joker immediately gets the upper hand, effortlessly
- 52:36Speaker 3: gets the upper hand. And meanwhile, like Harvey and Rachel
- 52:45Speaker 3: are both in separate warehouses that are filled with tanks
- 52:49Speaker 3: of gas and a bomb. Yes, Harvey is trying to
- 52:53Speaker 3: They're on speakerphone with each other, and Harvey is trying
- 52:57Speaker 3: to escape his He's tied to a chair. He knocks
- 53:00Speaker 3: a drum over and oil spills all over half of
- 53:04Speaker 3: his body. Oh oh, I don't know what will happen there.
- 53:11Speaker 3: Cut back to the station. Joker says, I just want
- 53:13Speaker 3: a phone calls. He's holding a cop hostage at knife point.
- 53:17Speaker 3: I just want a phone call. And Rachel says to Harvey, Harvey,
- 53:24Speaker 3: my answer is yes, I want to be with you
- 53:27Speaker 3: Harvey and you Ryan.
- 53:30Speaker 2: Oh so thank you?
- 53:34Speaker 3: Yes, Rachel? Okay. Batman goes to the warehouse with Rachel
- 53:43Speaker 3: in it, kicks the door down and sees Harvey.
- 53:47Speaker 2: I hope the reaction from Harvey here is so great.
- 53:50Speaker 3: The reaction from Batman is great. Bruce looks deeply disappointed. Yeah,
- 53:59Speaker 3: and I just picture to hear that, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly,
- 54:03Speaker 3: hear that from Rachel's side, But Harvey's saying that, no,
- 54:06Speaker 3: why did you come from me? But like, there's a
- 54:08Speaker 3: cut scene in the deleted scenes on the Bonus Features
- 54:11Speaker 3: where Bruce is on his motorcycle and he's going.
- 54:15Speaker 1: So, waet, maybe Joker told me the wrong address and
- 54:19Speaker 1: the address he gave me is actually Harvey. But then
- 54:22Speaker 1: wait a minute, what if that's reverse psychology and he
- 54:26Speaker 1: knew I was gonna think that, so it actually is
- 54:28Speaker 1: the real address because he thinks I'm gonna go to
- 54:30Speaker 1: the other address.
- 54:33Speaker 2: I wonder if he was thinking that. To be honest
- 54:34Speaker 2: with you, it's like, should you trust what this guy says?
- 54:36Speaker 2: Clearly you shouldn't.
- 54:38Speaker 3: Yep.
- 54:39Speaker 2: But it's a great deleted scene too. It really it
- 54:41Speaker 2: really increases the tension in the movie. It's also like
- 54:45Speaker 2: the scene when they cut to the beginning of the
- 54:46Speaker 2: movie with a joker just sewing as close together. That
- 54:49Speaker 2: was pretty cool too.
- 54:51Speaker 1: But wait a minute, what if he knew I would
- 54:54Speaker 1: go to the original address because I know he knew
- 54:56Speaker 1: that I would think it was verse psychology and he.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Was telling me the truth.
- 55:00Speaker 1: But then I knew it was double reverse psychology, so
- 55:04Speaker 1: you go to the other address. But what if he knows.
- 55:06Speaker 2: That Alfred just patches into the bike. Stay focused, Master Wayne.
- 55:12Speaker 3: Oh so the cops. Gordon shows up to save Rachel,
- 55:19Speaker 3: and I love the moment Rachel dies. She's in the
- 55:21Speaker 3: middle of a sentence and gets caught up.
- 55:23Speaker 2: Oh such a cold way to do it.
- 55:25Speaker 3: Yes, ice cold. He's like Christopher Nolan's like, yeah, I
- 55:29Speaker 3: realize this character sucks. So she's like, Harvey, I just
- 55:32Speaker 3: want you to know that.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Sometimes. But um.
- 55:45Speaker 3: Yeah. So Rachel blows up. Bruce saves Harvey, but the
- 55:50Speaker 3: building also blows up and the explosion catches the oil
- 55:55Speaker 3: on half of Harvar's body on fire. Yeap, But Bruce
- 55:59Speaker 3: does save him, and then the Joker shows up and
- 56:05Speaker 3: lets Lao out of prison.
- 56:09Speaker 2: What does he say to him, is it high or
- 56:12Speaker 2: is it what is he?
- 56:13Speaker 3: I can't he just I can't remember because I'm a high.
- 56:16Speaker 2: Yeah, it's some great And also like the cell is
- 56:19Speaker 2: completely destroyed, and Lao is just like curl up in
- 56:22Speaker 2: a ball, like this is the worst thing that could
- 56:24Speaker 2: be going wrong there right now.
- 56:27Speaker 3: Meanwhile, China is like, Okay, I understand this was a
- 56:29Speaker 3: vigilante that's not working for the American government, but like,
- 56:33Speaker 3: this is pretty fucked up that some American kidnapped this
- 56:37Speaker 3: guy and is now putting him on trial in your country.
- 56:39Speaker 3: You can't do that.
- 56:41Speaker 2: No proof, no proof.
- 56:46Speaker 3: Then Gordon says, oh my god, the joker wanted to
- 56:49Speaker 3: be caught. He wanted to be locked up in that
- 56:52Speaker 3: that cell. He knew this all along, This is all
- 56:54Speaker 3: part of his plan. Alfred reads Rachel's card, knowing that
- 57:02Speaker 3: Rachel's dead, and it says, dear Bruce, I need to
- 57:04Speaker 3: be honest with you. I'm going to marry Harvey Dent.
- 57:06Speaker 3: She basically says, I don't love you. I love Harvey
- 57:09Speaker 3: and sorry, and you just want to be a earlier Yeah, yeah,
- 57:14Speaker 3: told him a different thing earlier. And Alfred's like, yikes,
- 57:17Speaker 3: but he still still plans to give it to Bruce.
- 57:23Speaker 2: That would be incredible.
- 57:25Speaker 3: He puts it. He's feeding Bruce's breakfast and he puts
- 57:29Speaker 3: it on the tray to give to him, and then
- 57:31Speaker 3: Bruce is like, uh, he said, wait, is it now
- 57:37Speaker 3: or later in the movie. But when this happens, Alfred's like,
- 57:40Speaker 3: here's a note, Master Wayne, and He's like, yeah, before
- 57:43Speaker 3: you give me this note, do you know that Rachel
- 57:45Speaker 3: actually wanted to be with me and she didn't even
- 57:47Speaker 3: like Harvey. She yeah, we were like, we were destined
- 57:49Speaker 3: to be together. I was gonna quit being batman and
- 57:51Speaker 3: she told me she loves me and we were gonna
- 57:52Speaker 3: get married and she didn't even like Harvey Dent. And
- 57:55Speaker 3: Alfred is just nodding intently and slowly taking the note
- 57:59Speaker 3: away from Trey.
- 58:01Speaker 2: I think because he even recognizes this will break Bruce.
- 58:04Speaker 2: This is this will break him forever. It's gonna be
- 58:06Speaker 2: He'll he'll never come back from this.
- 58:08Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and uh, den can never know, so that's
- 58:13Speaker 3: what and Alfred's like okay, and then Bruce has him Alfred,
- 58:17Speaker 3: did you do you catch the bandit in Burma? And
- 58:19Speaker 3: Alfred said, yes, how did you catch the bandit in Burma,
- 58:23Speaker 3: and Alfred responds, we burned the forest down.
- 58:27Speaker 2: I also really love what Alfred says before. That's when
- 58:31Speaker 2: he's talking to Bruce. He's like, so come on, we
- 58:34Speaker 2: have to. He makes him comment abou how he to
- 58:35Speaker 2: continue on even though it just happened. Yeah, and he's
- 58:38Speaker 2: like and he says like, He's like, it's like, what
- 58:41Speaker 2: do you mean. He's like, we try to stop that
- 58:43Speaker 2: maniac and he blew her half to Hell and Gordon
- 58:46Speaker 2: and the Gordon Jesus. Then Alfred's like, no, that's not
- 58:49Speaker 2: that's not what we do. He's like, this is what
- 58:51Speaker 2: He's like, This is about what you stood for and
- 58:53Speaker 2: what we stand for. And I like that. It's like
- 58:56Speaker 2: the team of Batman, like Lucius, Alfred, essentially Rachel and Batman.
- 59:01Speaker 2: I really like how he said that. I thought that
- 59:03Speaker 2: was really kind of a I've never heard up on
- 59:04Speaker 2: it before. Well, like, you're not about You're about endurance.
- 59:08Speaker 2: That's your thing, you have, that's how you win. Yeah,
- 59:12Speaker 2: that same theme. You're also tim I'm shocked you did
- 59:14Speaker 2: not mention this the famous one of the most famous
- 59:17Speaker 2: images from this movie, which is the Joker hanging out
- 59:21Speaker 2: of the cop car.
- 59:22Speaker 3: Oh my god, I wait, did I not?
- 59:25Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 59:25Speaker 3: Yeah, when he gets when he gets uh, when he
- 59:28Speaker 3: gets the low out of prison. I do have a
- 59:29Speaker 3: note when Jim says he wants to be caught, he
- 59:31Speaker 3: wanted to be locked up there he that's when there's
- 59:35Speaker 3: that image, correct, Ryan, I skipped that note for some reason.
- 59:38Speaker 3: That's the painting I have hanging in my office behind
- 59:41Speaker 3: me on zoom calls at work. Is it's a painting
- 59:45Speaker 3: of Heath Ledger hanging out of the cup car.
- 59:48Speaker 2: Great, great shot.
- 59:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's part I can't believe i'vegot to mention that.
- 59:53Speaker 3: So I'm so glad you brought that up. But when
- 59:55Speaker 3: Jim said he wanted to be caught, he wanted to
- 59:57Speaker 3: be locked up there it shows the Joker in the
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: night air, hanging out of the cop car, his hair blowing,
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: and you realize he's loving this. Yeah, he's having so
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: much fun. It's like this is a vacation for him
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: right now.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: Yes, it's Uh, it's funny. Also how bad it is
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: such an iconic shot. And then in the rubble when
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Batman picks up the coin is another very famously us
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: shot from this movie.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah, because now because of the explosion want the
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: trick coin? It was double sided heads. One head is fine,
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: one head is very badly damaged. Coleman Reese aka Andy
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: is now on TV and Anthony Michael Hall is the
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: host of the TV show and he's like, we are
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: going to reveal Batman's identity live tonight on air. This
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: man claims to know who Batman is?
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: Yes, I like, is this also? When Gordon visits Harvey.
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: This is uh yes, and Gordon says, hey, Harvey, so
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: I heard you're not accepting skin grafts or pain medication.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: Are you are? You're not becoming a villain? Are you?
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: Also? I wanted to know and you can talk about
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: the scene. But we are one hour and forty minutes
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: into the movie and there's been no two face.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, which is I mean again, part of
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: the brilliant of this movie is how well they do
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: this and have these two very big, big villains with
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: their own arcs and everything in one movie. So they're
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: only showing half of Harvey's face while he's lying in
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: the hospital bed and Gordon's like, we're just worried about you. You
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: want to see how you're doing, and he's just like
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: pretty much. Gordon like, Harvey is just like, you guys
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: completely fucked this. And what does he say in the dialogue,
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: He's like, He's like, it's more just like, why didn't
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: you guys do more? You guys have been fucking this
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: up from the beginning, and the people in your in
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: your department are the reason all this happened. There's no
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: one here to trust. And he's like and Gordon is like,
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: I like, Harvey, I understand, Like I'm sorry, Harvey, like
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: no one ever meant this to go this way, and
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: just like to end this scene this way. It's like, no,
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: you're not not yet. I'm like, okay, all right, better leave.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: And they show Harvey's face his face.
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: Look for two face, Yeah, what do I think of this?
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: Look unrealistic but it's c g I And he's burned,
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: like to the bone, his skull is exposed, his nose
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: is gone. But it looks terrifying and awesome.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: It is so is so zombie at the same time
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: as that. I again, because Nolan is not known for
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: doing creature e things, not saying like two faces one,
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: but I thought for this to be movie believable. They
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: did a very good job also like later in the
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: movie when it's daytime. It is just so off putting
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: in a great way. It's just so like because when
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: his eyes moving and especially the bar later, I think
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: it looked great. I thought it aged really well. It's
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: definitely CG but I'm like, it looked really good.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, it's a it's quite a look, probably
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: the best. I mean, there's only two live action two faces,
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: but so easily the best one. But I don't know,
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: there's a lot of different ways you can draw two face.
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: Like in the Batman animated series, his face is more
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: like gray and droopy, and this is more like intense
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: burn victim trauma.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: In the Cape Crusader series too, it's way more sad.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: And I described it like it's so awful, yeah, And
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah, there's just so many ways you
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: can do it again, because no one's whole thing is
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: like reality. Again, he probably would not survive this way,
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: but I think it looks really good. Yeah.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: This so this, this next moment is maybe my second
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: favorite moment in the movie. This is the most joker moment.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: This is so punk rock. This is when I say,
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: like Norm McDonald's the joker of comedy, So and so
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: is the joker of so and so. The Joker meets
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: with the Mob and he has a pile of money.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: It's the size of my house.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: It's huge, the size.
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: Of my house. They're meeting in a ship and like
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: a shipping container and it like in an empty barge essentially,
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: and uh he They're like, what are you going to
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: do with all of your money? And the joker basically says,
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: I'm gonna burn it, And he has a bunch of
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: guys dump gasoline all over the money and the criminals
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: start to freak out. And they said, you said you
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: were a man of your word, And at least in
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: this depiction of the Joker, he is he is more
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: incorruptible than Batman. He says, Oh, I am a man
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: of my word. I'm only burning my half. All you
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: care about is money. This town deserves a better class
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: of criminal and I'm gonna give it to him.
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: Another great trailer line exactly.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: He says, it's not about money, It's about sending a message.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: And he did all of this. He got all of
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: the mob's money back from Lao. He took half because
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: that was his deal with the mob. He followed through
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: on his word, and then in front of the mob,
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: he burned half of their money, all of the money
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: that he got from doing all of this, so none
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: of what he was doing was motivated by money whatsoever,
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: and just says a fuck you to everyone. He brought
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: the mob in here just to show them. You paid
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: me all this money and I'm lighting it on fire.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Also love that Lao is tied up on top of
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: the pile of money. Yes, and before his Joker starts talking,
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: he just takes a handful of money and just throws
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: it at loud yes, like in his face, wax him
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: with a stack of it. I think it's just so funny.
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: Also another favorite line of this movie, where are the Italians?
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: I think it's just great.
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: And So going back to Coleman Reese being on the show,
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: going to give up the identity of Batman, Joker calls
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: in to the TV show and he's live on the
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: air and he's basically like, Hey, it's the Joker. He says,
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: if Coleman Reese isn't dead in an hour, I'm going
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: to blow up a hospital.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: This I was like, again, like this is damning animated series.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Joker is calling into a live newscaster threat in the city. Awesome.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: Yeah, And this is where, like I said, that Chicken
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: situation where the Joker won the game of Chicken, this
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: is where the whole dynamic of what he thought of
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: Batman changed. He is now this whole movie. He said,
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: I'm going to keep killing people until Batman reveals who
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: he is. Now he realizes which is the true Joker
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: and is pure form. I don't want to know who
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Batman is. I love so much like who I am
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: doesn't matter what my childhood is or what my name
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: on my brother savit is doesn't matter. Same with Batman. Now,
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: I don't want to know who he is because I
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: don't care because Batman is Batman, and whoever is underneath
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: the mask, that's not who he really is. Because I'm
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: really the Joker, I'm not my birth certificate, and this
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: man is the same as me, and his real name
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: is Batman. So I not only do I not care
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: who he is, but if anybody tries to fuck this
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: up for me and reveal who he is, which would
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: fuck with him being Batman, I'm gonna kill you. That
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: is the magic of the Joker. That is why he's
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: the fucking best villain ever. This is just bringing it
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: to another level. So Ryan, I think with that we
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: should bring it to a final Part four and end
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: of the Dark Knight.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Sure, let's do it. Let's uh, let's get to some
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: insane stuff happening here. If you thought it couldn't get
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: the escalation, couldn't get more, it's beyond here, all
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: Right, Thank you for listening, Thank you, Bryan, and we'll
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: be back to finish up Night of Dark
