The Dark Knight - More Unexplained Moments

Now I know I will be ridiculing The Dark Knight for its little mistakes, plot-holes, and otherwise completely ridiculous scenes, but The Dark Knight is a great movie for comic book geeks, superhero fans and general people alike. If I may quote the words of The Co-Host in his The Dark Knight Review, "...All time greatest movies, of movies, of all time..."And if you don't like The Dark Knight, well then...screw you(Machines will be sent to destroy you!). However, no matter how cool the movie is, it DOES have flaws, mostly minor ones. The first time I saw the movie, I didn't care, I was watching The Dark Knight!!! The thing about The Dark Knight is that it is so action paced and the story constantly moves forward from one scene to another that you don't really notice the flaws. After reading a blog, The Dark Knight - The Unexplained Moments posted by Gabriel, I went to see The Dark Knight again (on blue-Ray and worth every cent!) and I made this analysis...

(NOTE: oh, just in case some of you might be concerned, SPOILER.WARNING.ALERT.)

Now, in the first few minutes, their is already a problem, the shattering glass that will fall, but no one notices. When those two robbers swing down to the next building, you can see people just walking along where the glass should have fallen.

In a next scene that comes right after, we see a man holding a bag and a mask, waiting for his accomplices. Later on in the movie, we find out that this man is the Joker. Now again, Gotham City's citizens must be blind or too busy with their own crap or something, but I think I would notice a guy with a creepy clown make-up on in the middle of daylight standing on an intersection. (but it did look like he was trying to keep his face down)

Does it look like he really got hit by that bus?

And then, how did the Joker time his escape just right, going in between two other school buses in a line of school buses, going in front of another school bus whose driver probably didn't care enough to be suspicious, going past other drivers not noticing The Joker just drove out of a bank, and again, the people, going about their day?

(NOTE: It is funny but I couldn't find any other picture)
After William Fichtner gets shot and is lying on the floor, I noticed that there was no blood. Obviously because of the PG-13 rating it went with.

A scene I will mention right away that was also affected by the PG-13 rating, we don't get to see Lau burned to a crisp. I almost even forgot Lau was on top of the pile.

How did Joker's henchmen know which irradiated dollars to leave behind?

How did the Joker's card get DNA from the Judge, the Commissioner, and Harvey Dent? Maybe the Joker's inside men planted them or something? Maroni's men? The corrupt cops? Just a plot-hole that is all.

how could the mayor not seen that this was coming. By the way the body hit the window, he should have seen it coming on closer to him. If it came out from above instantly, then the body would have just bounced back up a little. I don't know, I am not a physics professor, but it looked wrong to me.

If the Joker had this knife....

...and put it here, shouldn't Batman be feeling the pains and taken some healing and rest time in some point of the movie? Maybe it missed him in the soft spots, but how would the Joker know where the soft spots are later on in their final confrontation in the movie?

The Joker throws Rachel Dawes out the window, Batman leaps to save her. But what happened to the Joker in Bruce Wayne's penthouse in the party? Did he just leave? Did he stay a while to take hostages or kill or regroup his men? Who knows?

The Joker takes a shot for the Mayor but Jim Gordon jumps in the way the "take the bullet". The Joker runs off keeping it low. My question is, why did the police officers stop that schizophrenic guy, Shift Thomas I think, instead of the Joker. What, scars across the face weren't suspicious enough of a guy. What made Shift stand out as someone who needed to be stopped?

The police precinct explodes a bomb implanted in some fat guy, and the Joker is the only one left standing? Was he in the right spot where the explosion would not affect him or was his human shield enough to save him?

Is the Joker driving, because I can't see anyone else on the driver's seat? Look at the head rest of the driver's seat, NO HEAD! Maybe a short guy was driving, oh yeah, Lau is asian (Just a little joke, can`t take, WAH). Even if there was someone else driving, why is that person driving so erratically. Was it on the Joker`s request?

Havey Dent's face was blown half to hell. Should he not be talking funny since half his lips are gone? As well as all the drooling, eye irritations, decaying, hanging, crisped flesh soon to catch an infection.

Salvatore Maroni enters his car. Then it appears that the car instantly starts driving at a speed which should seem like the were going for a quick getaway. It the driver did start off gently like a normal driver would, the Maroni would not have noticed Two-Face in the car for sometime. He must have been looking out the window or something, And how did Two-Face get in his car in the first place?


Well, that's all I noticed so far. Thanks for stopping by and...

Goodbye...
