Little touches that would've made TDK a little sweeter.

The Dark Knight was great. Near-perfect. But, I think THESE little touches would've made it just a tad little cooler. Hit the jump to see what I mean!

Editorial Opinion

1. HYENAS
The Joker should have had HYENAS instead of attack dogs. They're crazier, more vicious and it would've shown us how insane The Joker was (not that he isn't insane, as is). And, hyenas make laughing noises. Y'know. Like The Joker.



2. CHAOS AT THE FUNDRAISER
The Joker should have been more out of control in the fund-raiser. Don't get me wrong. That scene was great. But, I think he isn't as menacing as his full potential. He should've thrown that champagne glass or something. Or maybe shot at the champagne fountain or whatever you call that.


3. BECOMING A BETTER CLASS OF CRIMINAL
Scarecrow should have gotten a new outfit or a new mask, at least. Just to show that he's getting a little crazier than when we first saw him, as if he was evolving into a real super-villain, a better class of criminal if you will. He's kind of like the first supervillain in the Nolanverse so it makes sense to have him become more and more like it. He should have had a maroon/brown coat or scarecrow hat or a fake hangman's noose. Or all of 'em.


4. THE BAT-SYMBOL
The V-shaped design that holds his Bat-emblem should have been the same color as his utility belt. It's a nod to the traditional yellow circular emblem and I think that'll make it look cooler.

Can someone edit this picture with PhotoShop? Make the color of the V-shaped design like the color on his belt.

5. TWO-FACE'S VOICE
This one I know was a conscious decision by Nolan. But, I really think this would've been just a little better. Two-Face should not have had that clear a voice, maybe. It just doesn't feel right. He should have been heavily-breathing or I don't know. I mean, try speaking with one side of your mouth open permanently. You just can't say a word without breathing heavily.


What do you guys think? And what little touches do you think would've made things cooler?

Thanks, teabag! Although, I thought you didn't like Nolan's bat-films?

Oh. Okay :D So, you ARE a fan too! :)

Yeah, not as scary as the other scenes. Especially, when he asked that guy "You know where Harvey is? No?" And he was like "Okay, I'll ask another guy then". The only part where he was threatening in that scene was when he was putting his blade near Rachel's face, and the scene after that.

No, I meant a fan of his bat-films. :) You like it, you're a fan. :)

But the rest of the performance was great though :)

What about you? What things would've made TDK cooler for YOU?

@Teabag I agree with you about the love interest Tea. When I see Maggie Gyllenhaal, I'm like this:



Nolan could of gone with someone along the lines of Evangeline Lily:

Reading these other comments, it looks like teabag posed a comment, but I see no comments posted by tea. Is this happening with anyone else?

Hyenas would definatley represent joker. Hyenas are insane yet very smart just like the Joker. As you can see with this vid

I agree with 2 and 5

Hyenas would be GREAT for theatrics, but a pair of Rottweilers would tear them to shreds. What makes hyenas dangerous is that they are persistent, attacking when you're not looking. An average human could fend them off with a bat.

Two Face should have sounded like it is painful to speak and take sharper breaths

Use of his core gadgets would have been nice.

If I was Batman and came across Scarecrow with the fake noose around his neck, I would have chocked him the [frick] out with it.

Great ideas man.
Love the Hyena idea..
Interesting fact, though they look like canines, Hyenas are part of the Feliformia family, like cats, mongooses, and civets...
Learned that on Animal Planet, like two months ago=)...
