Chapter 502: with translation of chapter title
Holy crap, he's still this handsome!
This wingsuit design is absolutely badass, it's so cool!
That dive shot gave me goosebumps!
This is what a superhero movie should be—no flashy superpowers, just pure tech feel.
Damn, this shot is so cool!
The moviegoers watching the film.
After seeing that segment—the seamless, continuous high-altitude escape long shot of Batman capturing Mr. Liu—they were all blown away by how cool it was!
Here.
The main creative team of Batman: The Dark Knight.
Jason, after watching that segment, couldn't help but say to Bell: "Brother, that segment was just too cool, it's illegal! That grappling gun design is so cool!"
"Actually, that wingsuit is damn heavy..." Bell then sheepishly rubbed his nose.
Back then, when filming this segment in Xiang Jiang.
He wore this wingsuit and filmed for several nights straight, exhausted to death.
Fortunately, the effect turned out well.
Now.
The plot of Batman: The Dark Knight has also passed about halfway.
The real excitement is about to start!
As the movie's biggest villain, the Joker's plot has only just begun to unfold!
Now, Mr. Liu, who controls the gang's finances, has been arrested, and he also revealed a list of these clients—that is, the gang members' names.
Thus.
The Gotham City underworld decided to team up with the Joker to take down the real enemy!
As the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
So, what comes next is truly the beginning of Batman: The Dark Knight's plot.
The first showdown between the Joker and Batman begins!
Here, Lin Mo's filming conflicts with the original The Dark Knight.
While filming, he always felt something was missing.
Mainly because the original film was made several years ago in his previous life, so many of the plots are cliché and need slight tweaks.
For example, the threat from the Joker, he made it more shocking.
Only see, on the IMAX big screen, it suddenly switched to Gotham City's morning news; the female anchor's trembling voice echoed through the theater: "Early this morning, five bodies were discovered at the city hall gates... after confirmation, they were all Batman imitators..." The camera panned over the bodies covered in white cloth, each corpse's mouth corners cut into the same makeup as the Joker's.
Sizzle—
At this moment, all TV signals were suddenly hijacked.
The Joker's face, covered in paint, filled the entire screen: "Dear Gotham citizens~" He nervously licked his lips, "Let's play a game?"
The audience in the theater all leaned forward in unison.
The Joker suddenly pulled out a wrinkled newspaper, its headline a photo of citizens cheering for Batman. "Look at these smiles~" he tore the newspaper apart, "But if I tell you... if Batman doesn't take off his mask every 24 hours..." The scene cuts to an elementary school playground, "there will be a lovely place like this... BOOM!"
Next, the Joker suddenly pulled back the curtain beside him, revealing an entire wall of explosives and chemicals.
"My people have already infiltrated hospitals, schools, supermarkets..." He rattled them off like a menu, "By tomorrow sunset, I want to see Batman take off his mask and turn himself in; otherwise, for each day delayed, someone will die because of Batman!"
Hahaha!
The Joker's eerie laughter rang out.
At this moment, the film cuts to Gotham citizens, each one panicking.
Isn't Batman supposed to be a justice bringer? He should turn himself in!
Hand over Batman!!!
What a damn hero! He's basically a disaster star!
What are we paying taxes for the police to eat? They can't even catch a lunatic!
The screen keeps cutting: a drunk in a bar holds a "Hand over Batman" sign; a young couple draws a red cross on the Batman poster...
This is what killing people's hearts means...
Jiang Wen, seeing this segment, also couldn't help but say something.
The Joker's move is too vicious—not only does it force Batman to reveal himself, but it also aims to utterly destroy the faith he's built.
Likewise, on the other side.
Sitting beside Lin Mo, Cameron adjusted his 3D glasses: "Amazing, so amazing, Lin Mo, your understanding of human weaknesses is terrifyingly precise—fear spreads far more easily than justice!"
Steven Spielberg also laughed and said: "I think, Lin Mo, his greatest strength is his control of this pacing—first using the imitators' corpses to build fear, then using the school playground to evoke empathy, finally using the 24-hour countdown to create tension; this three-layer progression perfectly replicates the psychological tactics of terrorism!"
Uh, hearing those two, Lin Mo wanted to say that when he was filming, he hadn't even thought about any of that.
Nevertheless, he still used Teacher Yu Hua's classic line: "Exactly, exactly, exactly, that's exactly what I thought!"
Soon.
The Joker's head-on confrontation went up against Batman.
This took place at a banquet.
Wayne, that is Batman, ordered all of Gotham City's upper class to hold a special welcome party for Harvey.
Because Harvey Dent's appearance, the populace hailed him as the knight of light; with him, one could live without wearing a mask!
And just then.
The Joker brought his gang to the door.
It can be said that in this scene, the Joker became the true protagonist!
The fear he brought could all spread out from the big screen.
"Oh, you look nervous? Is it because of these scars?"
"I once had a wife, she was beautiful, just like you, and she told me I think too much..."
"......"
Gal Gadot watched this scene on the big screen.
Instantly, she remembered that during the filming of this scene, she had genuinely been frightened.
She was frightened by Heath Ledger's acting.
Remember when Lin shouted 'cut' and then praised her acting..
Actually, her acting wasn't that good; it was all a genuine reaction.
This long shot scene.
It can be said that it left the audience greatly shocked.
Especially the scene where the Joker throws the female lead Rachel off a high building.
"Holy shit, the Joker acts decisively, without any hesitation!!!"
"I just love this kind of villain!"
"The Joker is so crazy, I love it!"
"By the way, the Joker doesn't seem to have any superpowers, is he just an ordinary person?"
"How are they going to film this later? Could the Joker mutate?"
"......"
In the theater, the audience discussed it endlessly.
Especially seeing the Joker's decisive action, he directly threw the female lead off the high building.
You know, these days' villains.
Each one is indecisive, killing a person requires half a day of BB, and in the end they get counter-killed by the protagonist; the audience always feels such villains are too stupid.
And the Joker's appearance simply refreshed their new perception of villains.
Although this is the Joker's first direct confrontation with Batman.
It seems the Joker won.
But...
How will the plot develop later?
After all, Batman is, after all, a superhero, wearing that high-tech suit that makes him impervious to knives and guns; look, even falling from a several-story building does him no harm.
By contrast, what about the Joker?
He seems to be just an ordinary person, right?
How does he fight Batman?
Could it be...
Will the Joker mutate later?
After all, Hollywood superhero blockbusters are always filmed like this: if you can't beat them, you mutate!
