@ Onyxmeth You can't cut down on such a great movie. Go watch it again.

I agree with onyx. Other than getting to put Heath Ledger in that awesome nurse costume, almost the entire second half of the Dent story could have been axed because it served little purpose.

 

 

Hmm, I don't know...

 

The entire second half of the Dent story was one of the most important part of the movie. That segment served to show that Batman and Gotham City lost and that Joker won.

The whole plan for the Joker was to take Batman and Gotham City's plans for peace and show just how useless it all was. Harvey Dent was suppose to be the White Knight of the city, a symbol of hope and peace (kinda like how Obama is sometimes being shown as). The Joker, though, ended up turning him into Two Face and the whole second half of Dent's story epitomizes just how far Joker twisted Dent and corrupted him into evil.

So, it kinda was important in the movie to show Joker's success and how Batman ruins it by making sure he gets the blame for it.

But that is just my opinion of course.

Well I was actually talking more along the lines of most of the mafia and underworld criminal doings in the film and how many of them really never served much purpose. I'm sure a shorter story could have had the same effect as most of the longwinded scenes involving these throwaway characters. How much unecessary time involved the money laundering, money burning, etc.? Also what was the point of the fake Batmans and Scarecrow scene near the beginning? They never even picked up the storyline of civilain vigilantes elsewhere in the movie so why bother starting it?

Also, and this just goes for Batman movies in general, I would like to see just one Batman movie that doesn't involve a romantic interest. For god's sake you'd think this were an important aspect of the comics and it's not. I can recall many great Batman stories I've read that have NOTHING to do with a Bruce Wayne/Batman romantic interest.
