Reddit's system is a classic: many of the original web message boards had nested replies like this. I think the only reason why this style is not popular anymore is because they are more difficult to program and even harder to make perform well.

I know the post is mainly about the comments under the photo, but this is one of the parts of TDK that has always bothered me.

There's a huge search for this homicidal psychopath that everybody and their children knows has huge scars by his mouth. And everybody knows that he intends to kill the mayor during the ceremony. How does NOBODY see this guy standing ~20-30 yards away from the stage?

[–]Flaxmoore 172 points173 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

People don't often see that which is right in front of their eyes.

Last year, the hospital I work at needed to recertify, which includes a security review. Essentially, the commission sends a few people around to make sure patient data are secured, that you can't just walk into the OR, that sort of thing.

We failed that step miserably. Guy in a coat, tie, clipboard and generic ID needs a chart? Here you go. Must be official business. Same thing when he went to the pharmacy. Same thing for the OR- he walked back to the staging area, grabbed a set of scrubs, changed out and walked right back to one of the OR anterooms. Could have walked into the OR itself, and no one would have said a word.

Couple the innate blindness to that done by those in "authority" and the penchant for writing passcodes to doors on the wall (or having them be the room number or 1234), and it's not overly surprising.

Wouldn't surprise me at most hospitals. The hardcore narcotics and the like are pretty locked down, but the low-level meds? Wouldn't be tough at all at essentially every hospital I've worked with. Considering "low-level" includes the likes of fentanyl and morphine, it wouldn't be tough to get a buzz on.

Re-watched it recently and a LOT of things in that movie rely on highly improbable events. Just watch the opening scene and how lucky it was for Joker to have lived through that event, let alone getting everyone to die at a certain time. Also the bus conveniently re-entering traffic at the perfect time between a line of buses, and we're supposed to believe no one could track down that bus that just tore down a wall at a crowded city bank?

But alas, I love it because it embraces that it is a movie and needs to keep the audience on edge and to expect the unexpected.

Only thing that didn't make any sense is throughout entire movie joker is 5-10 steps ahead of everyone else, but claims that he doesn't plan anything to Dent and others. I like to believe he's just playing mind-games with the good guys making them think he never has a plan.

Damn that movie was complex and written well.

I thought Joker had arranged for those buses to be driving down that street at that time.

Only thing that didn't make any sense is throughout entire movie joker is 5-10 steps ahead of everyone else, but claims that he doesn't plan anything to Dent and others. I like to believe he's just playing mind-games with the good guys making them think he never has a plan.

Agreed. It's not like convincing them he doesn't have a plan is his main goal anyway.

  1. I'm pretty sure the Joker planned to have those buses there.

  2. How does it not make sense to be 5-10 steps ahead of other people? That's a basic principle of chess, war, business, sports or really any form of competition. That is the very essence of strategy and many people are very good at it, particularly psychopaths.

  3. Joker says he doesn't plan anything because he's a psychopath and psychopaths lie.

Well that is kind of the point of The Dark Knight, the whole point of the Joker Plot is to show that Gotham has stopped caring about anything at all, no one was calling the police because stuff like that happended all the Time and they only minded their own business and Harvey is the 'White Knight' who makes them care.

Always bugged me because in interviews Nolan said he was going for a look where the Joker had put on make up years ago on a whim, then just never looked in a mirror since. It's a great idea, which is totally undermined by him removing it here then having it back on later

[–]JarasM 21 points22 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think it's really possible to put on make up and then have it years later, just because of "not looking". He would have to take a bath once in a while, not to mention sweating, sleeping and whatnot. He would have to tattoo his face to keep it on longer than a few days.

It sucks. Homestuck is actually a really good webcomic, but there's no telling how many people might have been turned away from it from how some of the fans act. They also give everyone else who likes it a bad name.

[–]rastephens426 4 points5 points ago

I haven't really read any Homestuck since mid-February but I wasn't too big of a fan of the direction it was going.

But yeah, my sister, brother and I are all Homestuck fans. None of us really participate in the fandom because we all hate it.

Edit: it also really irks me how many people judge something based on its fandom. I have a friend who refuses to read Homestuck because of it (but ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES in the Touhou fandom), and it just bothers me.

That scene's always felt odd to me. Like it's somehow indecent to see the joker without his makeup on, and in such a fleeting, casual way.

[–]CorkyKribler 157 points158 points ago

That scene always felt creepy as fuck to me! I think it's because so much of the Joker's scariness is derived from his vague origins. I know in the comics and in other shows/movies, there are origin stories, but in The Dark Knight, they don't talk about where he came from, or why he is the way he is. To me, that's why he's so terrifying.

In this fleeting scene, you catch a small glimpse of the "real" guy. He's still the same murderous sociopath, but he looks relatively normal, which is horrifying. He's not in costume; he's fitting right in with everyone else. It's like a nightmare.

[–]creepyeyes 9 points10 points ago

What I thought was interesting is that in other adaptations, the joker actually never wears makeup, his face legitimately looks like a clown. Like in the Tim Burton version the Joker would put on makeup in order to look normal, and then that one girl throws water on him and suddenly he looks like the joker after he rubs the water around on his face.

Technically not true. Populations growth is more accurately modeled logistically, which is approximately exponential in certain regimes.

I don't know how others feel, but I didn't like that they made the Joker just wear make-up, as opposed to the colors being his dyed skin, as introduced in "The Killing Joke."

[–]Patorama 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Most of the other character origin stories are different than the comic books, I don't see why they couldn't change the Joker's. The comic version of the Joker was a somewhat regular guy who was immediately changed by this one horrific event. The Dark Knight Joker is more vague, you don't know what drove him to this state. You don't know if the scars were from childhood or self-inflicted. From the makeup and hair to his custom made clothes, his appearance is entirely of his own design.

[–]Lazverinus 62 points63 points ago

Or maybe he's wearing makeup in this scene, and the rest of the movie is his 'real' skin color.

His skin and hair being permanently changed to those colors isn't something that originated in The Killing Joke. That had been his origin since the 50s. TKJ was Alan Moore's attempt at making Joker's origin less stupid. I'd say he succeeded for the most part. Personally, I think it's weird that his skin is BLEACHED white all over, but DYED red on just his lips.

I know it's just a story and Joker's just supposed to be some manically insane guy, but I really wanna know who he is. Like where did he come from, who is he, and why is he so messed up? Maybe it's answered in the comics, but it's always seemed pretty intriguing to me that this iconic villain doesn't really have a famous backstory or anything.
