Some superhero motion picture end on a prescribed bill with the poor boy defeating the baddie and saving the day . The Dark Knightis not that form of flick . It shows Batman in one of his biggest struggles against the Joker who at the end of the film , ends up come through by hale Batman to paint himself as the baddie to cover up crimes committed by Gotham ’s last hope .

The Dark Knightis one of the dandy superhero movies of all meter and was a huge step up from its herald , Batman Begins . It continued the more serious and realistic take on the caped reformist that was n’t scared to cast away from thecomics . Here are 10 easter eggs you may have missed inThe Dark Knight .

The Joker’s Mask

Heath Ledger ’s performance as the Joker is one of , if not the most memorable in allBatmanmovies so far . The mask that Joker uses in the open bank heist aspect is very reminiscent of Cesar Romero ’s mask in the original ' 60sBatmanTV serial publication . It ’s a really cool nod to the history of the caped crusader and one that is very cool to see for fans of the original serial publication . The other masks that the other human being use during the heist look passably coolheaded as well and have a very handcrafted look to them . Overall it ’s a really cool easter egg !

Spiderman 3 Poster

While it ’s quite blurry and very easy to leave out , in the opening scenes of the picture show , you may spot aSpider - Man 3poster in the desktop . It makes a lot of sense considering that flick released in 2007 whileThe Dark Knightwas film so it may have just been so minor that the editor did n’t see any pauperization to edit it out . It could also just be a nerveless nod to the web - slinger by the film director . 2007 and 2008 were very interesting years as they both started tick a shift into a bigger and more serious world of superhero movies .

Joker’s Picture

This one is extremely easy to miss as it need you to have to break for a second to front at the schoolbook below the icon of the Joker . The date on the movie read July 18 , 2008 . This is the genuine freeing day of the month of the movie . It ’s bizarre that this movie is more than 10 years sometime but still holds up to this twenty-four hour period .

The picture itself is passably minacious as the Joker just seems to love showing his face and has no purpose of obscure it . He want to be seen and desire to terrorize people , it ’s just what he does , and unlike some felon , he ’s not afraid to make himself know to the police .

Batman’s Cowl

When Bruce Wayne run to Lucius Fox with an idea to shift up his cowl to give him the power to move his head , it ’s a small and fun nod   to the original costumes that come before this movie ’s edition of the suit . Specifically , in the 1989Batmanmovie , the courtship seemed very uncomfortable as it was unacceptable for the thespian to interact with someone without turning his total physical structure . The new design is one of the undecomposed versions of the costume and one of the most practical as well .

Chaos Begins

The opening ofThe Dark Knighthas very pernicious symbolization with the symbol of the Batman burning in the flames .   It make for a really cool intro that set a dark tone for the movie . The combust symbol foreshadows the chaos that is about to unfold in the story and the next step in Batman ’s journey . BothBatman BeginsandThe Dark Knight Risesopen up with similar forms of symbolisation . It also goes together with one of Alfred ’s communication channel in the movie , " Some work force just desire to see the world incinerate . "

Shoe Knife

This knife is very similar to Rosa Klebb ’s horseshoe knife in the 1957 James Bond moving-picture show , From Russia . With Love . In that picture , the adversary Rosa Klebb has an interesting shoe with a blade come out of it . The Joker expend one that looks almost selfsame during the party aspect where he ’s searching for Harvey Dent and ends up being confronted by Batman . It ’s incertain if this is a direct source to the Hellenic moving-picture show , but either way , it ’s a passably cool weapon system in both picture .

The Riddler

The Riddler is a very interesting scoundrel that unfortunately did n’t get to get to face off against Batman inThe Dark Knight Trilogy . There was however a little minuscule easter ball inThe Dark Knightthat seemed to be a picayune nod to him . During the movie , a Wayne Enterprises employee by the name of Coleman Reese puts a lot of clues together to find that Bruce Wayne is in reality Batman .

He prove to blackmail Bruce in to get a gravid sum of money in return for keep his secret . Reese speaks to Lucius Fox about his theory on Batman ’s truthful personal identity and Fox extension Coleman Reese as " Mr. Reese . " This vocalise super skinny to the word mystery story , which could be a very elusive nod to The Riddler , who also go for Wayne in thecomic Good Book .

Two-Face

There ’s a lot ofeaster eggsthat foreshadow Harvey Dent ’s destiny inThe Dark Knight . There ’s a lot of talk in the flick about Harvey ’s face being the face of Gotham ’s clean knight and almost making him seem like this perfect figure that was the only someone that could save Gotham . The dinner party scene where Bruce Wayne ’s date spread over part of Harvey Dent ’s face is a morsel of bode for his transition into the baddie , Two Face .

Lamborghini Murcielago

The awful sport car that Bruce Wayne drives during the daytime to carry through his employee , Coleman Reese , from being assassinate after the Joker targets him , is the Lamborghini Murcielago . In Spanish , Murcielago translates to Bat . So in a way , this can be considered the sportswoman - railway car edition of the Batmobile . woefully , not only does Batman destroy his Batmobile in this movie , but he also destroys a staring Lamborghini . The Batpod thankfully reach it out in one piece .

Catwoman

Catwoman did n’t get her first appearance inThe Dark Knighttrilogy until the sequel to this motion-picture show , The Dark Knight move up . There is , however , a fun little easter bollock that may be a nod to her . During his visit with Lucius Fox , Bruce expect how the suit will hold up against dogs considering his last meeting with them , did n’t go too well . Lucius jest with Bruce about the variety of dogs it can hold up against and enunciate , " it should do fine against cats . " It a courteous little easter testicle that got some pay off in the next movie . It would have been interesting to learn about her whereabouts duringThe Dark Knight .
