Dark Knight Questions. **WARNING: SPOILERS**?

Question

Okay just a few simple questions. I saw the movie twice but still missed these points.

1. Who built the large cell phone sonar machine? Lucius Fox didn't know anything about it until it was made. Was Bruce smart enough to build it himself?

2. If they didn't want Harvey Dent to go down in history as a killer, then why didn't they just blame the murders on the joker, or one of the crime families, or just some random bad guy? Why did Bats have to take the rap?

that's it. just those 2 questions. i could care less about how he bends gun barrels and stuff.

Answer 1

2. I suppose he did it as a friend (Bruce not Batman)to be remembered for his goodness....Cmon he flipped out when his chick died, Ok.......Its like remebering the Pilgrims as New World Colonists......Not as Invading "Vikings"Stealing land...........LOL..........

Answer 2

1. Bruce built it

2. cuz bats is just too awesome to blame anyone

Answer 3

   Those are some great questions. I have never really given thought to those but will try to give you my best.

1. Who knows. Maybe the audience wasn't supposed to figure that one out. I think bruces company built it because he pretty much builds everything else.

2. Batman is to good to blame the deaths on others. Plus, he wants people to focus on dent for now and not him. He knows the people who really like him can figure it out for themselves that he really didnt commit those crimes.

Answer 4

1. As far as we know Bruce built the sonar machine.

2. Batman remembers hearing Harvey saying something about living long enough to see yourself become the bad guy, and also, after meeting the Joker, Bruce says he sees what he's going to have to become to beat him. So rather than go like the Joker, he took the blame for killing those people that Harvey killed, to step up & be the hero that the city needed at the time, even if it meant to people hating him for a while.  

Answer 5

1. Options:

a. Lucious Fox: discarded as you have pointed out.

b. Another scientist working for Wayne Industries: Discard that one, Lucious as CEO would have known, he is not an executive that stays at the office reading reports.

c. Brice Wayne - That is the answer.

2. Charging an innocent with a crime he did not commit (even if the "innocent" is a criminal like Joker) is something gordon 7 Batman would not allow, unless taking the blow themselves.

Answer 6

1.  Lucius built it, but Bruce modified it to work the way it did.  When Bruce was in China or wherever it was, he was using it the way it was originally intended.

Answer 7

bruce took lucius foxes idea from when he went to hong knog and used sonar to see through the building. he put sonar on every cell fone

in gotham so he would be able to find the joker. lucius fox didnt have a clue about it until he seen it so it was bruce who mad it.

batman took the rap for the death of all the cops because it was obvious it wasnt the joker as he was in the building watching the two boats, and straight after batman left the joker, the  got arrested, and harvey dent was pushed off the building after he got arrested and all the police knew that. it was easier for batman to take the rap as he was an outcast vigilante and people didn't understand him so it was believable that he would commit these crimes.

  

Answer 8

1. I think Lucius was the one who built it actually, but I may be wrong. I'll look it up shortly. However he threatened to resign if Bruce kept using it as it could be used to spy on people. Check source for more info.

2. The Joker was captured at the time, and the only people there were Gordon & Batman. So Batman took it upon himself to take the blame. If the Joker was blamed, the cops would've found out it wasn't him and that it was actually Harvey, and all those criminals would've been released.

Answer 9

1. I THINK that Lucius built it but Bruce tapped in to it and made the cellphones work to his advantage. Which was not Lucius plan.

2. They couldn't pin the murders on anyone living because that would be lying when they went to court. It would have been easier to put them on Two Face but like Bruce said he didn't want people to see their "hero" that way so he took the blame.

Answer 10

First of all, I thought it was awesome how he just nonchalantly snapped the gun barrel like a twig when he was walking down the hall... lol :D

1. The machine was already built. But it was not being used as a sonar tracker. Bruce just wired it to to that. There was no possible time that he could have actually constructed the entire machine.

2.This ones hard to explain. They couldn't blame it on anyone else becuase anybody else would deny it. Batman could make that choice though, and take the blame.  They couldn't blame it on anyone else because they cant falsley accuse a random person. It just wouldn't make sense.
