Hi all.

Man, I'm so sorry to hear. I can't even imagine going through that.

It takes a strong person to share that in hopes to help someone else out, so cheers mate. I hope and pray you can be strong enough to recover in whatever way that might be.

Batman makes a split second decision to save a woman he loves, thereby abandoning an entire party of Gotham's rich and powerful.
If Joker kills them all while he's rescuing her, which is something he would do, it would totally mind fuck Batman, which is something Joker loves to do. Batman would be driven further into isolation and closer toward insanity, which the Joker intuitively suspects Batman is close to doing at anytime.

Its not a plot hole, imo, just a weak scene that doesn't make sense (the Joker just bouncing).

The only explanation that makes a bit of sense, is that Joker thought Dent was Batman, and he got what he wanted out of the deal(confirming Batman's identity in his mind) and left. He used Batman jumping out of the window as his moment to escape before he came back, because he figured he couldn't beat him at that moment(Batman was kicking their asses), and just took the information and got out of there.

It's not a great explanation, and the abrupt cut of that scene always bugged me, but it's at least something.

As for Gordon's getting shot scheme, meh. It's a comic book movie where one man in a bat costume runs around eluding police/mob justice(at home and abroad). Don't think too hard about that stuff, otherwise you'll be questioning every little thing, like how a clown man is seemingly as elusive as Batman, despite being a terrorist with identifying marks on his face...who also happens to wear a clown suit 99% of the time. Boy, he'd be real tough to spot in a crowd and arrest or kill. Perhaps he would've drawn enough attention on himself during his very subtle magic school bus bank heist at the very beginning...

Conspiracy theories, and their ability to spread at lightning speed, are what happens when some of the worst aspects of human psychology are amplified by the internet. We keep seeing this happen over and over.

After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, the No. 1 trending video on YouTube falsely claimed that survivor David Hogg — who has been outspoken in support of gun control — was a paid actor. After the mass shooting in Las Vegas, in 2017, Google featured in its “top stories” a 4chan forum — an anonymous message board notorious for fueling conspiracy theories — that misidentified the shooter as a Democrat with ties to leftist, anti-fascist groups.

We now know why many people believe in, or are attracted to, conspiracy theories. Psychologists have found conspiracy theories are a tool to quell anxiety, give people a sense of control, and help make sense of a complicated, depressing, and often disappointing world. “It’s a self-protective mechanism,” Jan-Willem van Prooijen, a top psychological researcher studying conspiracy theories, told me in 2017. It’s often easier — and more comforting — to believe in an elaborate neatly tied-up lie than to deal with the truth.

Humans aren’t perfectly rational thinkers, so conspiracy theories — and their bedfellows, superstitions — aren’t anything new.

What is new, and concerning, is how fast they can now spread. Our online media ecosystems seemed designed (intentionally or not) to promote them over real news stories in the wake of breaking news.

People who feel powerless and who are more pessimistic are also more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. The theories “serve the need for people to feel safe and secure in their environment and to exert control over the environment,” a recent review of the field of conspiracy theory psychology, explains. They’re also a type of motivated reasoning. If conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death make the Clintons look bad, people on the right are going to be more likely to embrace them.

Stop playing post police already. People will talk about what they want, if you don't like it, stop coming into the thread.

Stop playing retard. Though you aren't playing. You feeling powerless and insecure? lol. The psychological profile agrees.

I'm honestly not seeing @Anung Un Rama's point of issue. It's not a plot hole: it's just a character not acting in a way that you think is optimally logical. I also don't think that slaughtering a room full of random rich people is Joker's style, at least in the context of that film. His shtick is getting mores to break down and getting everyday people to start killing each other: slaughtering a room full of aristocrats is randomly violent, sure, but it's not really in furtherance of that goal.

And, unless he was planning for his entire crew to get helicopter lifted out of the building like Nicholas in Burton's flick, lingering in a 100th floor penthouse while squat teams are undoubtedly on their way to surround the building does not make much sense.

I don't post on sherdog to feel power.

Is that what you're going for here? That would explain your clownish attempts at talking down to people.

Random law I think should be made: make it illegal to use car horns or police sirens in radio ads. I'm tired of driving with the radio on and then looking in my mirrors when someone honks at me only to realize it's the radio.

 

[JonesBones]

"Pwnt", as the kids used to say about a decade ago when we used to actually hit the heavies on here.

Second of all, @JonesBones militancy on this issue seems more like he's trying to convince himself of his own rationality rather than get the rest of us out of the idiot box we're all apparently in.

so mad.

That gives me an idea for radio ads that sound similar to cellphone ringtones.

"He would have walked anyway."

Why won't you debate the scientific findings that shows you are paranoid tards?

Because we're all enjoying watching your sustained tantrum instead.

I simply said I didn't understand why he'd off himself with the resources he has available. You've ranted on and on for about a dozen posts now about it. I mean, keep on if you want but all thats happening is people are making fun of you as you sit there pretending to be superior to people who simply want to know the story.

People like you, I always wonder who you think you're supposed to be when you talk to people like that. Not one poster here values your snide talking douchery as you seem to think people should.

Yeah, it's not a big deal in terms of the script. My issue with it is how it just cuts, leaving you questioning it all. Not that I need everything spelled out for me, but abruptly cutting to the next scene, while your mind is wondering what the hell the Joker is doing up there is kind of a head scratcher as to why they just left it like that. It's not a plot hole, so much as it is a sloppy transition to the next scene.

I also don't like the way Batman saves her in that scene either. He leaps out the window, gets a hold of her, and...falls 100mph onto car, and she's just totally fine because his body armor braced her fall, or something? What is this, Austin Powers?

Around here a surprisingly low percentage of food vendors are still happy with the delivery services a few months in.

Any comments in the article about that?

They mention the fact that food is already a low margin business and the complexity of coordinating the provision of delivery food and in house meals becomes logistically more difficult. Not to mention how fees and profits are split up.

Hmm, not something that I ever noticed or thought of. Probably one of those things that, if you don't flag it the first time you watch it, you never do.

I also really like how the movie quick cuts in most transitions.

That is the sore thumb. Probably the biggest one of the film to me alongside the grapple-gunning of the Joker at the end, where Batman randomly shoots down and then magically has cable over a high-set bar to pulley him up. And that's setting aside the same issue as from '89: how the grapple gun can have either the firepower to get a lightweight hook to a falling human being and how it manages to wrap around their feet. But that's kind of just a Batman thing.
