Well....

I watched The Dark Knight.

AGAIN.

I still love it.

But just one thing... Even though Chris Nolan says he's keeping it realistic, there are just a few points in the film that suggest otherwise. These things obviously don't matter at all in the long run, heck, the film needs them, but I just thought I'd be nitpicky and point them out.


First of all...

The Pencil.


Check this scene:





Notice anything unusual?

No?

Watch it again.

Still no?

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't know of any pencils strong enough to be stabbed into a table, and then stand there imbedded in until you slam someone's head into it.

Also, wouldn't the pencil break? If the pencil went into the guy's eye, then surely, as it's so firmly in the table, it would have slid right out of the squishy eye, and left a bloody mess on a stick? Or, if the pencil had hit his forehead, it would have broke.

But it is a cool scene.

Second:

The Truck Flip





























Well, we all know the scene, Batman is on his Bat-pod, grapples Jokers truck, does a fancy move, and the truck is over.


But it wouldn't work. Annoyingly, I couldn't find a video that allowed embedding, but find a video, and watch what Batman does.

He grapples the front, turns left, goes under it so he is on the right, then turns left and wraps it around some lamposts, then grapples it to the ground.

What would have happened? After some testing, I can tell you that from the speed and weight that thing has, it would have stopped, and tumbled slightly at and angle, so it's on it's side.

But where's the fun in that?

Thirdly...

THE FACE.





































How can he talk with his face like that?

ISH NALL ABOWF WUWAI WAND, ISH ABOWF WASH FAIR!!!!


Nuff said.

  1. Wrong, you moron.

    The pencil is put down rubber end. Easy to do with some bluetack or whatever.

    It's not firmly in the table at all. Would be possible but it would need a vast quantity of accuracy.



    The truck, again unclausable but not impossible.

    Steel cables, although thin, are extremely strong. Had the truck had a lot of weight in the back, it is possible for it to flip.

    As for the tests, what were they? Sitting on your fat arse raming a Matchbox car into the wall?


    Thirdly, that is just stupid.

    Fourthy, you have moobs.
