I had one major question for someone who was paying more attention: Spoiler: Was Joker honest about the locations of Rachel and Dent, or did he switch the addresses? I thought Batman was going to Rachel. I agree that making him choose and then reversing his choice is a very Jokerish thing to do, but it seems inconsistent with the rest of his actions. Did I just mix up the addresses?

Spoiler: This is what begged the question about the Joker fucking with people, because he DID lie about the locations. Batman 100% believed he was going after Rachel and sending Gordon, etc. after Dent. He didn't give two fucks if Dent made it if he could rescue Rachel. Ok, maybe he cared a little, but not enough to sacrifice her for it.
That was the beauty of the Joker in this movie. He didn't just leave you with an impossible choice, he made it impossible for you to know if the choice you were making was even the one you meant to make, which is why I think it's a valid question about who would have been blown up. Personally, I think they're equally likely, and I'm kind of glad we didn't find out. |
