TDKR: Joker Reference Idea

I had a reference Idea but I posted it on IMDB.

TDKR was based partially off "No Mans Land". Before the movie was released I saw in the trailers the chalk bat symbol being drawn every where. In no mans land various gangs "tag" their area with symbols, and when batman comes back in the comic he starts tagging bats every where.

One line from the comic which Jim Gordon says when they discover the first Bat symbol tag is "Probably just some Joker........ Sorry, bad choice of words"

Reference Joker and also plays on his line in the Dark Knight "Very poor choice of words"

But unfortunately it was the actual GCPD who were doing the bat symbol tagging so it wouldn't have worked.

I always get annoyed that people think that putting a Joker refference, or cameo would've been "Disrespectful to Heath". This wasn'this only job, it wasn't the cause of his death, and it wasn't even his LAST role. The Joker is a character, and when you treat a character differently just because of one actor you're disrespecting the character, not respectig the actor.

Good idea, for sure. @JokerFanHAhaHa....I agree totally with you but I think it still might be too soon. Let TDKR pass and they'll move on to another actor.

@flamingopuree
i agree, if the reference is too heavy handed, the audience would be anticipating a showdown later in the film.
@Theirishavenger
as awesome as that would be, it would trail off to a fight between batman and the joker that would take too long to deal with. the joker's goal was pure and utter chaos. he got that with bane's mission. regardless of the impending explosion, the joker probably saves batman just to torture him until they both die in the explosion.

nolan did a lot of fan pleasing references in his dialogue, so i really dig @karloshuddos idea of simply stirring up memories of the character with dialogue.

it's not disrespectful to want to see the joker again due to ledgers performance, on the contrary. it was so amazing, that the fans demand more. ledger portrayed the joker in a way that will influences future portrayals of the joker for years to come. that's pretty damn cool honestly.

Me and my brother had an idea about the mentioning of the Joker during the scene when Bane revealed to the public about Batman and Gordon hiding the truth of what Harvey Dent really did. Gordon can mention the Joker as he was explaining his actions as he was being criticized by Blake for lying to the public. That was a perfect scene for the name drop.

Frankly, for me the whole speech Gordan gave about "Plunging hands into the filth" was reference enough for me.

Was there any reference to Ras Al Ghul in The Dark Knight? Nope.

Something NO Batman movie has done....

When a freshly caught lunatic is caught and being taken to his/her cell, (and oh man, this is like the end of half of TAS' episodes) said lunatic is led down a hall and shown that s/he is not alone in Arkham.

Someday we'll see a red head watering a plant, a balding man with glasses holding a sock over one of his hands, a short man with buck teeth reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"....

But until then, we'll just have to imagine it.

That would be a horrible idea just for the simple fact that the prisoners were broken out of blackgate prison. no way in hell the clown prince of crime would of been in blackgate his crazy ass would be locked up in Arkham

i don't think that would have worked in the film the way it was shot and the style
