Question, does anyone wonder whether the technology in the movie with the cell phones is possible in any way? With every phone in the country containing a built in camera, is it possible that someone could use this for information retrieval without any of us knowing the difference?
I suppose anything is possible, but it seems to me as though you would need several phones in, for example, a room in order to get any sort picture of people moving around or anything more precise than just a general topography like you would get from a point sonar.
The voice stuff on the other hand? Seems certainly possible to me to set up cell phones as remote listening stations although I’d imagine you would have to already have a voice sample in order to look through and filter out the other noise.
Scary stuff to think about though.
The thing is, I do think about it. That’s why I hate that every phone everywhere has a camera on it. Even if the technology was completely based on getting that weak, non-geographical image, GPS can fill in the blanks.
Like Lucious(sp?) stated, that is too much power for any one man to have. I also wouldn’t put it past some of our current politicians…or future ones.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
I bet you Batman made a second copy of that machine and he’ll use it in his Bat Cave. That weapon is too good to just be burned up cause Lucious has a conscious.[/quote]
First, the Joker’s plan was very well designed; they way he set it up, no matter who Batman chose to save, he’d wind up losing that person.
Second, even though Batman made a sacrifice to allow himself to be painted as the villain of Gotham, he gained something, too. One of the Mob bosses he was interrogating said something to the effect of “we know your weakness: you have rules. You won’t kill me.” Now that the entire city thinks Batman killed a bunch of dirty cops, the bad guys don’t have that assurance anymore. They have a new reason to be afraid of the Bat.
Ok, second time around, just as awesome. I went into it with the theories you guys have kicked around in the back of my mind and it brought up some questions.
Why would Fox say anything about cats, unless catwoman was going to be involved in the third? It’s a total left field comment.
Why was Bruce Wayne not visibly more sore/beat up from all the falling he did?
Why was batman completely fine after falling the same distance Harvey did yet Harvey died?
Does anyone know the penguin’s real name? Because if the chinese guy was to be the penguin, I wanted to see if his name matched up with the penguins.
Some statements:
-I found myself totally entranced by the joker. I looked at him trying to see Heath Ledger, but just couldn’t. He was completely awesome, and I was in awe of him. Definitely wanted more of him.
-Harvey was not breathing at the end when he fell, which makes me think he really is dead.
-The more I think about it, I really like the idea of Adrien Brody playing the Riddler. I think that maybe the video tapes the joker made would inspire Edward Nigma and might send him over the edge.

He fell on Harvey. Great cushion.

Chester Cobblepot historically…but they could do whatever they wanted with that. That guy burned up anyway on top of all of the money the joker set ablaze.

Anyway, I seen the movie, loved it. Wasn’t the chinese guy tied up on the giant mountain of money that Joker had set on fire? Wouldn’t he or shouldn’t he be dead?
I just got back from viewing #2, and it was even better this time including the ending. It also got me thinking: with all the talk about future villians, what about, oh I don’t know, The Joker?
Yes, I know Ledger is dead and it’ll be almost impossible to equal this performance, but unlike Dent, The Joker character is still alive.

I’ll tackle it:
Inside Joke?
When did you see him without his shirt on except for that one scene in the beginning when he had that huge freakin’ dog bite on his arm?
Batsuit, very durable, pretty much armor plated.
Harvey: Coma, maybe…I keep going back and forth on this one, but I just don’t see any legitimate villain for the next movie besides him.
Maybe, on further review, he was calling bruce a pussy?
He never had a limp, never acted sore, nothing. You’d think he would have something noticable.
They showed Harvey a couple times, all without his chest moving at all.

That would be a lame fall to die from really. I hope they aren’t saying he’s dead. I’d rather hear he died from a massive pink eye infection from a lack of an eyelid. Instead of that fall.

He has access to that stuff, but he’d have to have a revolving door of excuses as to why he keeps racking up injuries, aches, and pains. Perhaps one of these days he’ll save a doctor who he can go to, instead of stitching himself up.

I just read Nightwing year one. Apparently, he has had that covered at least since the point they added Robin.
Lets see he has scratches and bruises on his back and a giant dog bite on his arm and stitches it up himself. Did you overlook the fact that hes fuckin batman and maybe can walk off some pain because hes fuckin batman or maybe because he has to so people don’t ask questions because hes fuckin batman.
I would expect some little old quilting lady to question why he doesn’t act sore or walk with a limp but a T-Nation guy… seriously dude?
One more time so i don’t have to repeat myself later. Hes fuckin batman…
