| Subject: Dark Knight Plot Hole? |
|
| Everyone remembers when Dent says that he is Batman on TV, well why is that people automatically believed him? Was it because the two were never seen in the same place at at the same time? Believable but a very weak argument. But I can nearly guarantee that they have been seen in different places at the same time. Think about it, a politician running for office is bound to go to a few evening fundraisers, and I say a few loosely, whereas Batman's hours of operations are during that same time frame. So why did Gotham believe him? Well I think it has to do with mass media, and if this was Nolan's intentions well he is certainly one of the most brilliant filmmakers of our time. A well groomed man in a suit with a smiling face says something outlandish on television and people believe it, no matter how absurd it may be. Everyone believes it because they are being told by every media outlet that it is true. |

jayzulla | 06-06-09 12:47pm I can kind of see what you're getting at. However I think there were a few parts where it could have seemed that Dent was batman. At the dinner when wayne knocks himout and hides him, then batman shows up to confront the joker. i think dent was going for more of the quick fix though then to trick everyone into actually thinking he was batman. either way, movie was awesome. |

this-acoustic-love | Re: Re: Re: Re:, 06-07-09 12:14am Yes, I read the whole thing, I meant, if it wasn't on purpose. |
