well heloooo beautiful
Do you think DKR would have been dramatically different if Ledger hadn't died

An Oscar well-earned.

Yes. We would have gotten Joker being broken out of prison and then Batman will have to decide to save some people or stop Bane as Joker sets up traps around the city.
We'd probably get a big showdown where Dr Crane becomes Scarecrow again as Joker leads a group to kill Batman.

All memes aside can we all agree that the first two Nolan Batmans are pretty great movies, especially for capeshit?

Batman Begins is a masterpiece and so is The Dark Knight which doesn't have any weak scenes.

They're all shit. The whole trilogy would have been forgotten by now without Ledger's joker.
I can't even remember the chick characters' name
Did a Batman movie really need a whole new character made up just to be a love interest? Did it need a love interest?
Is it true that he killed himself because what he had to do in this scene?
>>79485713
How was she just a love interest? Rachel dying is the reason Harvey Dent goes insane when he becomes Two Face and helps his motivation
>>79485754
Was this purpose planned as Begins was written?
What would make a charmful blonde handsome man want to marry her?

>Was this purpose planned as Begins was written?
No. Nolan made it clear in the documentary that he didn't have any sequel in mind when he made Batman Begins and he assumed it would probably be just a 1 off.
But then he did of course put the Joker card at the end of BB so perhaps he did want to make a Joker sequel but had no idea the plot.
Same goes for Dark Knight Rises. He ended TDK with killing off Harvey Dent because he had no plans for a sequel but then when the sequel came around, he decided to use Harvey as a plot point with Bane and others constantly mentioning him.
It was a pretty bald move for Nolan to kill off Two Face after him only getting like 15 minutes of screen time but his character truly did serve a point and if he was in TDKR, he wouldn't have added anything just like Han Solo added nothing in Return of the Jedi.

It was originally Katie Holmes, but Tom Cruise cucked her out of an acting career so they cast a basset hound instead.
>>79485858
I always wondered why Katie never returned for TDK. Was it because she was involved in Scientology?
I gotta say that the casting of Maggie was good in the sense they looked very much alike but eh Katie is of course true beauty.
mmmmmmmmmm
>>79485885
Lil Tom wouldn't let her, apparently. She did a naughty sex scene in Thank you for Smoking and he didn't want her working with Eckhart again.
>>79485915
Yes, I saw that. Very hot.
>>79485166
This line truly established the deranged twisted cruel mind of the Joker

I always have a problem with movies turning characters over the span of 2 hours or like a week in movie time...if harvey dent had been in Begins and didn't turn until the end of TDK and maybe not until TDKR it would have been epic
>>79485544
Yeah. They're not perfect, but they're pretty good. They still had some stupid Nolanisms (no moar ded cawps) but that sort of shit wasn't cranked up to 11 like it was in later films.
Nolan didn't really become a complete hack until Inception. But from Inception onward, everything just became trite garbage. I guess it all went to his head, or something.
>>79485915
>>79485885
Is that really why? I remember reading that it was just because she was involved in another project at the time.
But yeah, casting Maggie was a fucking mistake. Especially when the purpose of her character in TDK is to serve as a sacrifice so devastating that it turns Gotham's Golden Boy into a psycho killer. Falls kinda flat when she looks as dumpy as she does.
