"or if you're really good at coin flipping, 60/60" funniest shit
I like how he throws random jokes in the middle of serious explanation.
Basically guardian's of the Galaxy style
+Taha Shujaat damn
+Harun Suaidi
It's more like some serious points in the middle of a joke ;D
But then if he didn’t make random jokes everyone would ask... Why so serious
Yea him throwing random jokes makes the point he’s trying to make confusing a little and it’s annoying
"Who are locked in a room of barrels, which is deadly to humans."
Well in video games if you shoot them you get hurt.
that or they watched too many old pewdiepie videos they found somehow.
Pewdiepie approves
I remember the Joker saying that he and Bat man are what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. According to minutephysics, in one interpretation of this, the immovable object and unstoppable force are the same thing. Basically he's saying that chaos (represented by him) and order (Bat man) are the same thing...or maybe he means they're just 2 sides of the same coin (represented by Harvey Denton)
***** Well, as minutephysics said, an immovable object is impossible, since movement is relative, so just by someone or something moving, the "immovable object" is moving relative to that thing. However, when people say "immovable object" they probably mean an object that, if it is not moving, you cannot make it start moving by pushing on it, which would actually be an unacceleratable object. And due to Newton's 2nd Law, the unacceleratable object would have an infinite mass, and its acceleration = zero.
And all forces are already unstoppable, unless the force has no interaction at all with an object. Even light itself is an unstoppable force. But an "unstoppable force" could just mean something that you cannot stop from barreling down on you. That is an object whose velocity cannot be changed...in other words, its acceleration = zero.
tldr Basically, just everything said in the minutephysics video "Immovable Object vs Unstoppable Force - Which Wins?"...in fact I pretty much just wrote everything from that vid
the movie places a pretty hard emphasis on the joker and batman being two sides of the same coin which is why this movie is so good as it is not just good versus evil but similar ideals clashing and why this joker is considered (or in my opinion, is) the best joker (but also because of Heath Ledgers performance)
Order out of chaos
batman believes the natural state of human is chaos, and he's here to bring order. Superman believes that the natural state of people is order and he's there to maintain order. Joker like the Batman he believes the natural state of human is also chaos, and he wants to maintain chaos. That's the duality of batman and the joker. They think people are horrible but one thinks he should help and the other thinks they should burn.
Satan's greatest trick is deceiving many that he doesn't exist😈.He is the real enemy of the human race👿. he has spread his doctrine "Do what you want" so that you could end up in hell with him inorder to get back at God after being cast down from heaven. Through the music and the movies industry, he and his demons have performed spells casted by his satanic occultic sold-out artists to indoctrinate the lest of us astray from God's laws and God's ultimate love and purpose for us.. This is the end times🔥🔥as prophecied in the bible..look outthere, The end is nigh🔥. Jesus is the only way ,the truth and the life.. repent🙏🏻 of your sins(read the 10 commandments)and trust the gospel of salvation of The lord Jesus Christ and as your lord and saviour in your heart. And you will be saved from hell.🔥🔥 and be granted eternal life in heaven. A free gift from God.

i was smiling the whole video, but i died the moment you impersonated Michael Caine.
Anyone else notice the dog motif? In the beginning Bruce has to make a suit resistant to dog bites, the joker calls himself "a dog chasing cars, when the joker leaves the hospital he's sticking his head out the window like a dog, when batman goes to take down the joker at the end he's attacked again by dogs. Not sure what it means but I found it kinda interesting
Wild shot in the dark here.
Dogs are supposedly mans best friend, they represent loyalty order and obedience which are the traits opposite that of the Joker. Potentially these dogs stand to metaphorically represent the joker attacking the Dark Knight with traits of loyalty, respect and friendship, to further enhance his idea that eventually those "good traits" will deteriorate into anarchy and chaos.
Just a thought.
+Stewart Mair I agree it's like when he tells the mob boss we'll see how hungry a loyal dog really is, this is crazy how I missed this
+Real One I think you mean "how loyal a hungry dog really is"
+Real One I think you mean "how loyal a hungry dog really is"
+Double I7 😂 right
I'm glad someone brought up two face's fucking always hydrated eye
I always rationalized it as a glass/ acrylic eye something he was given for that short period he tried to be sane after the accident. Idk.
+Greg Wasdyke But we see it rotate.
MadLab If the old eye is partially intact, the connective muscles are too. Glass eyes aren't spheres typically, they're shells. They rotate properly if there's enough intact tissue in the hole.
+Greg Wasdyke Maybe it's not always hydrated. He's probably just always in pain and can't even see out of it.
yeah, but the sclera is always white and juicy. If it was really irritated, it would look like the inside of a mouth, except all dried out with not a lot of specularity
i clicked on this video thinking that there is some conspiracy theory about batman only to watch quite an entertaining video
ikr!

Not to be confused with Rachel Ghul
Clever
Wow its Nerdsync
Hey scott
...The Ninja Guy
Hey scott
You can also see The Dark Knight as a deconstruction of what a traditional superhero film is, for example the standard bad guy kidnaps hero's girlfriend and forces hero to choose to save her or innocent civilians, what usually happens is the hero saves everyone. The Dark Knight however he fails to save the girl and in turn creates the cause for Harvey Dent's downfall (the consequence of his inability to save a life) which in turn destroys everything that they had worked hard to accomplish
Bat Man He didn't choose to save Harvey dude, he specifically said to Gordon he was gonna save Rachel. Joker just tricked him into saving Harvey but Bruce had every intention of going to Rachel
Maui Dimagiba he didn’t say anything about choice, just that Bruce failed and in doing so created a monster
d@mn , that's Depressing

I'd love to see Dr. Strangelove on here.
The communists are trying to steal our precious fluids!
You can't fight in here! This is the war room!
What other Kubrick film? :) eyes wide shut? That would be freaky in a fun way
YESss
***** Aye
This one was probably my favorite episode that you have done so far and that may have something to do with "The Dark Knight" being my favorite batman movie. just like all the other shows on Wisecrack, you present valid and thought provoking analysis in an entertaining way. This not only makes it possible for anyone to access this, it makes people enjoy learning and, perhaps, think more critically about the world around them. I can't wait for more, and that goes for any show you have on this channel.
"and Batman uses his bluetooth" :D :D :D 1:13
Wow. This was an actually amazing analysis... Do *Grave of the Fireflies* next!!!
That would be - amazing
msablouwill God, I don't know if I'm ready to have another look at that movie. That was one of the most harrowing things ever.
But - also completely beautiful :)
Joakim1400 what about Johan from Monster
Joakim1400 what about Johan from Monster
So much theory behind a movie that I thought was only about Batman kicking ass.
Most comic books will point out Superman as the "white knight" but anyways, you guys pretty much nailed it, holy shit, it's like you summarized every single thought I ever had on the movie in one video.
Hm. This is perhaps the best synopsis of the dark knight I've ever seen.
Those eyebrows are sharper than my future
I spit my water when you said "except in rachel's be" lol
The Dark Knight best movie ever
This is only somewhat hyperbole.
if not is one of the best

yaasss!!
Militant Pacifist communism
Militant Pacifist yesssssss
People complain about Dark Knight Rises for a bunch of reasons, but if it wasn't for that film, this Batman series would have ended on a pro fascist theme.
EpicBeard815 It did end on a pro fascist theme. Rich billionaires and above-the-law cops saved freedom and the stock market from a bunch of pseudo-communist, mass murdering foreigners. Its main theme was that rich people are ass holes, but the poor, huddled masses are even worse.
TheRhinehart86 First off, what you described isn't fascism. Second, that's hardly what happened. The end of the film has both the law and civilians working together against a force that manipulated both the rich and the poor. By the end of the film. Batman became a symbol to unite the disenfranchised (ie the orphans and the likes of Selina Kyle) and those righteous within the law (Gordon and his rebellion) It's about as fascist as Charles Dickens.
What movie did you watch? Overpowered at gunpoint?
Those were Bane's mercenaries. Those reveling in the chaos were a small group among civilians who were terrified.
I don't know where you got that idea from. The mercenaries were the same crew that took down the plane in the prologue, Bane's whole MO is to give the citizens a sense of false power without ever giving them any, so why would he let them join his militia?
Absolutely great video. Love this channel to pieces.
Not saying this is a requirement, but at some point you have to do The Big Lebowski or you'll be sucked into a black hole. Almost positive that's how it works.
Haha, we'll do it. Mr. Wormuloid abides.
Wisecrack YES!!! Oh! This comment really tied the room together!

Batman is a Fascist. That's a brilliant insight.
Jesse Taylor kinda of hard to swallow it but yea, still a great superhero tho
In case you ever wondered what fascism *actually* means - here’s a 2 minute video for ya

Please keep doing more.
I'd see love to see episodes on:
Inception,

Garix, your impression of the human named "Michael Caine" was cosmically uncanny
Batman isn't a fascist, I think. While Dent wants order within the law, Batman brings order outside the law.
He is a fascist though, by the virtue of being a vigilante he is breaking the law, the same laws that he upholds. He's a contradiction. He sees a system that cannot enforce its laws and therefore takes it upon himself to enforce them, with no outside demand for him to do so. That is a fascist sentiment, the belief that you can do something better than anyone else and fight to make that as much of a fact as possible, whether some one disagrees or not.
Batman breaches several levels of privacy laws, extradition laws etc. to ensure that the job is done. Joker even points it out at some point, that he has no jurisdiction and will stop at nothing to catch the asian guy. Pretty much most of what he does within the movie can be considered the act of a cowboy cop. He enforces justice, doesn't really uphold it, so in a sense he is defending it, but in the other he's showing that it can't be done without getting his hands dirty and potentially endangering third parties in the process.
So yeah he's pretty much that.
Then he is no better than the rogues gallery.
Arron Litchfield I would argue that there is outside demand which can be seen to the people of Gotham rallying behind what he does as well that police. He does things they cannot do. His anonymity allows him to do the things that benefit society and he has a personal moral code. Notice how he goes after all criminals but does not kill them, just sees them imprisoned.
I would say he is not fascist because he only upholds the needs of the people. As they say, the hero Gotham needs, not the hero Gotham wants. He is not autocratic because he isn't dishing out punishments that do not fit the crimes, but that fit into societies predetermined laws. The only thing he isn't is tied to is the same set of rules as the police and law have to follow, but he clearly is aligned with their moral code.
Fascism is not the belief you can do something better than someone else, it is a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government. Batman doesn't agree with what he does but he also sees it as necessary, which is why he is so supportive of Harvey Dent, because he doesn't want to do it. He does not want power or authoritarian control over people, he wants people to be able to live without having to worry about criminals taking advantage of or hurting them.
Paladin Demo You're right, there's very little separating him and his rogues gallery. It's one of the reasons that the Joker still exists, because he tries to make Batman kill him to show the hypocrisy of his system. It's effectively the root of the movie Under the Red Hood. That batman's system is probably not the most effective but it's the only one that he can be part of. He is psychotic and the only thing stopping him is his self enforced code.
May I just ask how long one of these videos take to produce.
Millennia.
+Wisecrack true yes very true
+Zangeiti // 8 years.its in the future.
+Wisecrack How long is that in Earthling unit "hour"?
+Zangeiti // I'd imagine a day or two to write, revise and finalize the script, an hour or two to shoot and five-ish hours to edit (Probably not done in one sitting)
interesting and accurate interpretation of a challenging, heavily philosophical movie.
I learn more about his species every video.
My God, this is brilliant! It's the first time I've watched this series, and I must say it's tremendously witty and equally intriguing. Love it!
You guys are getting better and better with every video. Way to go :D
Joker even in his twisted and darker plots is right, and you don't need to take society and safety to transform humans into animals, you only need to take their trust in the system, their certainly, when you take that, things become really blur and that make humans commit some really stupid mistakes believing that they are running to safety and never the less, they are running more deeper in the hole, because after all, humans are ruled by their human nature, not by their intelligence, they stop being intelligent and become cows running to the slaughter house because they are afraid of the landlord and his horse.
Okay. Wow. Best review I have ever seen. Ever.

Loving these videos!!! Wish they could be a tad bit longer but nonetheless, keep up the awesome work!!!
This segment is so good 😳💕
Can't wait for the next one!
The big lebowski! Now!
Haha, "Shut the f*** up, Donny!"
+Wisecrack Please do it!
how about making a video about the hidden meaning(s) of Watchmen?
YES
that movie isn't that deep, zack Snyder can't make a deep movie
+lesryglrhfohser That's a joke, right?
+Shrey Rupani no!
+Lenny deigdeig 99.9% of the dialog came straight out of the comic book but he took out a lot of parts from the comic that are important in favor of mindless action scenes
I LOVED IT!! This was an incredible and unique way of critique. Congrats :)
Glad you're back, missed you. Great show!
Suddenly have an urge to watch the Dark Knight for the 8th time...
You know the Nolans made a good work when they can take a comic hero and make his movie this deep.
Right... Because Batman was just a guy in a suit kicking asses before Nolan... Stop idolizing him.
Paul KV Hopefully you mean the movie version of batman the comic version always had depth
lime ninja hopefully it was sarcasm
Paul KV wait are you saying you hope that my comment has sarcasm?
Yyay you are back! Missed your fab insights this is great thank you
Man, you make good videos- they both summarize hilariously and present many philosophical insights!!
2:55 why did you go through the effort to change the sound effect of the gunshot? that was originally a single shot from a silenced poistol, the automatic fire was from the joker shooting the bus driver.
I noticed that 2
He probably muted the footage from that scene and couldn't be fucked to find the movie, find that scene and put it in the video again so he just added a gun sound effect instead
+The Dead Immortal my theory is that he didn't think the single shot was loud enough or emotional enough so he added the full auto
This series is amazing! Do _Forrest Gump_ next!
That breakdown was well thought out and delivered perfectly. I had to subscribe!
awesome as always!!!
that 60-60 joke got me too good
Do No Country For Old Men!
yes!!!! oh my gosh, yes!!!!
So so so glad you're back!!!
I really enjoy how, in the middle of the silliness of Wormuloid's presentation, he says some really deep stuff... quite unexpected.
BOOGIE NIGHTS
Oh man, so good.
Garix, you are hilarious in every one of these videos yet you get in-depth with the movie's meaning! Most TH-camrs can't do that. Keep it up!
You're so freaking good, keep going, thanks for the good work !
I am so happy that I found this channel.. xD
Marvelous interpretations and humor!
You should totally do Eraserhead. or Blue Velvet.
Both excellent
Can you do the TV show version
This explanation is actually brilliant and well thought out, I don't believe in duality anymore so I get the Joker's philosophy but I wouldn't take it to those extremes. 🤔
Very interesting video keep up the good work.
This was hilarious and one of the most understandable descriptions of this super hard to understand movie. Thanks a lot!
60/60
explain that please

i saw that in the video but what does it mean?

my favorite series on here now...love these so much
Good stuff, this has turned into my favorite TH-cam Channel.
I'd love to see an analysis of Donnie Darko at some point.
How about Spider-Man 2. (The Raimi version) I'd love to see how he perceives Doc Ocks arms. And the total failure of the fusion reactor.

I am still worried about how this has not surpased the mark of the first million.

following you guys again xD
been a bit slow since the 8-bit philosophy
hahahaha
thank you!
What about the corrollary between the sonar machine and the patriot act?
One thing which I think is interesting to note (although it is touched upon in this episode) is that, with no influence from Batman, the Joker turns out to be wrong about the people of Gotham. I know they voted to blow each other up, but when they were actually presented with the option, both boats decided not to do it, showing that there is more hope and good in Gotham. I think it's interesting to note, because people often described the Dark Knight (and the Batman films in general) as very dark and pessimistic, which they kinda are, but it's nice how the climax of the film rests not on Batman as himself, but by the goodness that he is fighting FOR in Gotham.
This was a superb episode! I flash my eyebrows to you Garax.
Thi was a really good video. I liked the analysis and how he broke the video down. I haven't heard or read anything on the Dark Knight that was this deep and insightful. The fact that it had meaning worked perfectly.
burn da forest down
I keep coming back to this vid just to hear him do it in Michael Caine's voice
While I love Earthling Cinema, this one lacked a lot of the clever insight into humanity, masqueraded as misinterpretation, that the previous episodes have offered. This felt more like a straight movie analysis than a deconstruction by a future society and thus the joke really fell apart. I hope to see more of the series, without the long hiatus that we experienced this time, but I hope more time is taken to recapture the quirky humor of the early episodes.
"Unemployed clown..." come on, how could you not love that?
This is hilarious but also exploring ideas I've never thought of in TDK. I love this.
Awesome. Love it

great work
I lost it when Garix suddenly switched to the Butler's accent
am i the only one to notice your eyebrows grow by the video?
"Bun de force down!" 8D
I can't believe I never noticed the (anti) Jesus imagery with Dent! Ironic, as that's one of my top most sick-of cliches in superhero movies. The fact that "Dark Knight" inverts it makes it seem so much more brilliant! (I don't mean anything against Jesus or Christianity itself, just the cliched movie symbolism.)
usually when people start talking about this movie, it doesn't register past white noise. but that was excellent.
This was amazing
9th of August 2016 and this video still makes perfect relevant sense of today's politics
In the boat scene neither side can go through with blowing up the other boat despite it meaning their own deaths. That therefore is suggesting that man in inherently good and is the reason the joker's plan ultimately fails.
I actually took that as Harvey Dent's heroism was paving the way for people to be better. Which is why hiding his fall from grace was so important.
Nolan Nightingale I think both of you are correct. I took it as them being inherently good when I first watched it, but I almost feel that it was a cheat in the narrative in terms of the characters. Even though they give a really good reason, I know that either boat would have blown one another up. Just my opinion.
I love the fact that the dark knight rises leads on from the first one as it's goes back a little to the theme of this film in suggesting the natural condition of man is quite anarchic
this is brilliant in every way
Awesome work guys! I love your reviews.Please do Taxi Driver,There will be blood and Dr. Strangelove.
I still don't agree with the philosophy of this movie. Without laws, people wouldn't immediately turn into animals! Case in point, Slab City www.cracked.com/article_22072_6-things-you-learn-in-town-prepared-apocalypse.html . How do you think people formed societies in the first place?!
The collective need for not wanting to be stabbed in the back by your neighbor is a pretty good driving force for forming society.
That's not right - the entire city wasn't in chaos in the Dark Knight to the point of cops not being able to enforce the law in a general sense and everybody turning into animals. Joker just created situations where the people involved were pressured into dropping their morals and doing what they urged to do. It wouldn't just be a lawless society on paper that he would create if he weren't stopped. He'd have created an environment where survival is very difficult without immoral action.
The movie's philosophy is not that "without laws people would immediately turn into animals". That the Joker's philosophy, which is disproved when the people on the boat refuse to carry out his wishes (either through nobility, like the prisoner, or cowardice, like the yuppie) knowing full well they will die. That's when the movie shows you that Batman has won, and will always win.
SAT_Holmes The film's 'philosophy' is for shit, the idea that people need a hero.
Be wary of a hero, they need a steady supply of victims.
SAT_Holmes But the Joker's Philosophy IS proved! He was trying to prove that underneath order, is existential chaos, and that morality is a sham. he proves that several times over. Cops turn corrupt, citizens try to commit murder, Gamble's men kill eachother for a spot in the joker's crew, the joker's henchmen kill eachother for a bigger share, batman lets five people die, and the people on the boat vote to blow up the prisoners. now you might ask "so why didn't they blow up the boat?" it's because they still had somebody to look up to. they still had Harvey Dent. The people of Gotham haven't learned about who he has become. that's why when the Batman says "This city ha just shown you that it's full of people ready to believe in good" the joker replies with "until their spirit breaks completely. until they get a real good look at the REAL Harvey Dent." and who is the real harvey dent? an anarchistic madman who leaves his victim's lives up to chance. because chance is fair. because chaos. is fair. The joker successfully corrupted him, and turned him into a chaotic psychopath, FURTHER PROVING that morality is a sham, and that "when the chips are down, these civilized people will eat eachother." Had the people of Gotham seen what Dent had truly become, they would have lost their idol. the person they look up to, and they'd have nobody to follow. they would have gone crazy and blown eachother up. SO! batman and gordon lie about it. Batman takes the blame, in order to save gotham's soul. because "sometimes truth isn't good enough" so long story short, the joker won. so much so, that batman and gordon had to lie about it, and keep the masses ignorant in order to save them from themselves. matter of fact, the joker ends up REALLY winning when Bane reveals the truth about Harvey Dent during the storming of blackgate. He reveals the Dent is a false idol who murdered cops, and tried to kill gordon's son. and what happened when gotham lost their idol? when the truth was revealed? gotham went CRAZY. the rich were ripped from their decadent homes and cast out into the harsh world we know and endure. spoils were enjoyed. blood was shed. chaos, anarchy, and entropy reigned supreme, just like the joker said it would. :) I know it's kinda hard to accept because it's a dark, and fucked up way to look at it but that's the way it really is. the joker won. he was right.
Bats aren't rodents. They are members of the order Chiroptera.
Jonathan Rogers It's a joke about the Machinist and the term "flying rodent"
Chanel 5000, classic! Love it! Seriously Sir, hats and galaxies off to you for your witty videos! And in respect to this video in particular of course, bless the wonderful Mr Ledger for his superb acting, he is one Earthling greatly missed, floating about up there in the cosmos.
omg this is fantastic. x
please do V for Vendetta
+Corbin Wood yes
Interesting point about the Christ.
+TomdeArgentina And some people complain about the Jesus symbolism in Man of Steel.
+George Daugherty Because Man of Steel beats the audience over its collective head with Jesus symbolism, whereas it wasn't until just now that I realized that it even existed in TDK.
Caesaroctopus I never realized that the Jesus symbolism existed in Man of Steel until some people online complained about it, so it can't be that obvious.
George Daugherty Watch the YMS review of it. The cross symbolism is pretty blatant. Maybe not if you're not thinking about it, but certainly less subtle than TDK.
Caesaroctopus It's certainly subtle. It's not in your face, nor is it blatant. Anything can seem blatant once somebody points it out.
It doesn't come across as obvious to me. It's VERY SUBTLE if it's there.
Regardless, I don't understand why people are bothered by it, anyway.
I just started watching these. And they blow my mind.
wow, this one is really well done.
