Yeah, it’s a wicked old posting, but I’m still gonna chime in, since no one has pointed out the obvious. Bruce Wayne is looking to Dent with ADMIRATION, because what Dent is saying confirms his growing belief that Dent is the hero Gotham needs.

Trying to twist that into homosexual attraction is an utterly lame attempt, and proves that you’d already out of ammo.

Okay, I admit it. Jimmyboy and Jac are one and the same.

I’d love a detailed explanation of how that entire paragraph that Jimmyboy typed all translated into “Is not!Batman did not do such and such. Because I say so.” in your mind. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he did he not just explain the connection between Rachel, Bruce, and Harvey, which in turn explains why Bruce would be interested in what Harvey is saying, and not undressing him with his eyes which is what tdksucks is implying? Do a little analysis before you attempt to critique someone else’s debating tactics.

It’s nice how Jimmyboy backs his “arguements” with “Is not! Batman did not do such and such. Because I say so.”

I’d say there was a decline in the quality in your “arguements”, but there wasn’t any of that to begin with. Can you let up on the puerile, mind-numbing and pedantic speeches and learn how to debate, troll?

“if Clint Eastwood goes out of character and displays outward signs of homosexuality, it’s a valid complaint.” it would be tdksucks, but neither dirty harry nor batman showed any signs of going out of character and adopting homosexual tendencies. and there was no gay lovey dovey eyes at all in that scene.

That expression was called “interest” as in “i am interested in what harvey is saying” not “ooh, harvey baby”. and before you chime in with “well i thought Bale was clearly conveyng gayness so he sucks at acting” no-one else out there (even your fans) thought so. not a one.

and with the whole “oh, need a new love interest cos rachel and batman are just friends” issue. If you pay attention to the end of dark kinight there relationship doesn’t GO anywhere because she won’t let it go anywhere until gotham no longer needs batman. Bruce is obviously still in love with rachel, its just it wont happen till the batman is no longer needed. so there is still a love interest there (and theres also another reason for bruce to give up the batman, HENCE another reason for bruces interest in harvey. see how things tie together?)

“Are we being warmed up for the appearance of Robin in the next installment of the series? A return to nipples on the rubber suits?”
Nope. just being warmed up for an obvious decline in the quality of tdksucks arguements.

As for the gay factor, I think everyone else has answered that clearly enough.

I don’t know man. It seems like you’re just going over board with every minor grip. I liked TDK a lot, and at the same time I agree with you that there are many instances in the movie rife with inaccuracies, but that’s according to us. And we are just fans, so what do we know about what should be cemented in fact or taken with many grains of salt.
You say that you enjoyed Batman Begins, so did pal. I’m not too impressed at the way they treated Batman in this movie too much either. Don’t get me wrong because I liked Ledger’s acting, but I think that it overshadowed every other actor in the movie. It wasn’t so much cause Ledger was that good, but because everyone else was written so far in the background. I mean Mickey Rourke should have gotten as much as a shout out for his turn as Marv in Sin City as Ledger in TDK. I enjoyed Marv as much as the Joker if not more. Rourke, Willlis and Owen paved the way for a more serious tone in comic book movies than ledger ever did.
Let’s face it, the Joker was awesome. But was that cause of Ledger’s acting or the Nolan Brother’s script? I think it was the latter. You yourself complained about the “lack of realism” compared to BB. I agree with you. I also think that, in spite of Nolan’s promise that the villians wouldn’t out shadow the hero, they did. Christian Bale was total underwritten in the screenplay, and he’s by far the best actor of the bunch.

Well, I bet if they brought in a new love interest, and spent even more time (added into the already 2 hr 30 mins) to really make the audience feel the chemistry between bruce and this all new character, and harvey and this all new character, that it would very well be one of the many complaints on your site, tdksucks.

And also, just because she turned him down, didnt mean he instantly dropped his feelings for her. Plus, she told him if he ever stopped being batman she would be waiting, so she gave him a false sense of hope, further anchoring his love for her. To say that its a continuity issue doesnt make any sense.

What are you guys talking about? Bruce had always been in love with her, he never stopped. In BB, Rachel turned him down, but Bruce still wanted to be with her. You could see the disappointment in his face. So to say we are supposed to assume he is “back” in love with her is wrong, because he never stopped in the first place.
