EARLY ACCESS: The Dark Knight (YouTube edit)
Added 2025-02-25 04:17:48 +0000 UTCHi, friends! Here is the YouTube version of my reaction to The Dark Knight. It's actually not the final version because I'm waiting to hear back from a sponsor about an ad, but I thought I'd share it anyway! This video will go live on YouTube either this Wednesday or Thursday. Enjoy!

In the comics Joker has no origin story, it's a mystery ( and in this film they can find no info. on him by fingerprints, dental records, or DNA ), so as you realized with his changing stories about his scars, he's just playing with people. And yes, he's "batshit."πAt a couple points you see he does not care about the possibility of getting killed. Joker lied to Batman about where Rachel was, so Batman ended up saving Harvey. Rachel dying in that way completely broke Harvey, the "little push" to turn him as Joker put it. Batman tells Gordon he'll take the blame and to make Harvey look like a hero, so that Joker's plan of people seeing Harvey become a villain would be defeated. Flipping over that truck was real, it must have sounded wild to be nearby. The cape over the bat-cycle wheel WAS a concern: Stuntman Jean Pierre Goy was the only person capable of riding it, spending months training in its use. During filming, Goy wore the full Batman costume plus a custom crash-helmet resembling the mask. The cape was a point of concern due to the risk of it getting caught in the rear tire. Hemming and her crew developed a prototype backpack that could automatically retract the cape, but Corbould suggested performing a test run with the normal cape with an easily tearable release in case it did get caught. In motion, the cape flowed over the tire safely and the backpack idea was instead used for Batman's Hong Kong infiltration. Goy had to ride the bat-cycle at up to 80 MPH, only falling off once. Christian Bale was also eager to try it out but could not control it, and when shown riding it is actually being dragged behind cars at 60 MPH.
