In the final act of The Dark Knight Two-Face goes on a killing spree, deciding whether or not to kill his targets based on the flip of a coin. However, it wasn't until recently that I noticed how the outcome of the coin flips follows a pattern of live/die/live/die until the final scene:
>Heads - The Joker is spared in the hospital.
>Tails - Wuertz is killed in the bar.
>Heads - Sal Maroni is spared.
>Tails - Maroni's driver is killed.
>Heads - Ramirez is spared after Two-Face forces her to call Gordon's family.
>Tails - Batman is shot.
>Heads - Two-Face doesn't kill himself.
Now, based on the sequence so far, we should assume that the next outcome would, of course, be tails - this would result in the death of Gordon's son. This is what we're anticipating based on that haunting orchestral score as the finale of the film descends into tragedy. It's only when Batman intervenes, stopping Harvey and saving Gordon's son, that the coin flip shows heads for a second time in a row, breaking the chain and ending the nightmare.
Didn't Gordon's son turn into a psychopathic murderer though?

Yes but the coin hits the floor, which gave it more time to spin. Had Dent caught it it could have been a different outcome.
Go rub your chin about that, faggot.

BRAVO NOLAN
>>67820737
Gordon's son becomes Batman?
>>67820646
If it's in fact following a head-tail-head-tail pattern it is subtly implying that Two-Faces' skewed moral code and so-called blind justice is flawed.
>According to the Joker, chaos is fair
But apparently Dent's method of implementing chaos isn't truly chaotic.
Fuck everyone, keep doing this OP. At least BvS has incited people into thinking more about movies.

Hi /reddit/
>>67820745
The coin is supposed to have been tails (killing the son). Its only because batman intervened to save the kid that the coin fell on the ground as heads (the boy lives)
>>67820745
This.
>>67820646
>It's only when Batman intervenes
On a purely film-making level this part was stupid. Batman is in full gear, meaning every step he takes on the wood floor of that building should be heard for 20 feet in any direction. You're gonna tell me Dent didn't notice out of the corner of his eye, his little microscopic hairs in his ear didn't detect Batman getting up off the floor, which alone would make noise, and running towards him? What a bunch of shit.
>>67820646
>implying that the heads-tails-heads-tails thing isn't lazy writing from people who don't know a good way to portray probability with tension so just do the obvious 'every other flip'

Nolan knows how to Kino unlike the hack fraud.

Nah, should turn up in Suicide Squad if they're doing it right.

Just two minutes of him going berserk on Batman would have been nice.

What troubles me more than the fact that OP is reddit is the fact that so many other people are also reddit and noticed.
Fuck this board. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that's never been on that fucking website.
>>67824069
why are you mad about it though? and if you've never been to it, how do you know how it really is?
(in before Reddit get out, I don't use it or have an account but I've looked around on there a few times before, and almost nothing lives up to its stereotypes anyway, especially not something as big as Reddit)

it's like we're living in a nightmare version of reality
>>67820646
Goddamn that design is laughable.
What was their reason for going so over the top? I thought the TDK trilogy was supposed to aim for realism?
Hey I'm half asleep and I was thinking about something and all I remember is "on a level beyond our material one". What was I thinking about /tv/? Joker's musing on chaos being fair? At what price?
>>67824358
Supposedly, they tried a much more realistic version, but found it looked too distractingly disturbing.
>>67824069
I actually don't even know how that site works. I've only ever been on 4chan.
>>67820745
also you grab a coin and turn it over one more time to place it on your other hand so it would have been tails when he turned it over in his hand
>>67820646
>Wuertz
that's like THE shithead name
>>67820877
Yeah you would.. fucking redditor...

You seem to forget that Batman is the world"s greatest ninja/detective/scientist/inventor/martial artist/escape artist/tactician.
