Wow 8 Oscar nominations, I was expecting only 5, Sound Editing, Makeup, Sound Mixing, Director, and Supporting Actor. Nolan was asked about TDK not getting best picture or director nominations, and he said that he was just glad to see a comic book movie get noticed by the Academy. One thing to note is that they weren't just giving it attention for being a Batman film, but simply as a film. Whether TDK had the best Joker or whatever was not relevant to them. This might just be a step in the right direction for genre films in general.

this movie is basically jsut a cop film sprayed with batamn juice on it. That's a pretty good comparison, and pretty much sums it up. Joker does work with other villains, he just doesn't allow them to share on his tormenting and/or attempting to kill Batman. Normally the Joker makes use of them then either A) kills them, or B) takes them out of the picture. Batman's suit protects him. As for Rachel, I think the suit may have contributed to her not being severely injured. This one I cannot explain away fully, I'd have to watch the film again. MythBusters did a show on something similar. If it would be safer to survive a flipping car with or without a seat belt. It ultimately comes down to the build of the car, how fast it flips, and how hard it lands. I'm sure physics played a role here. As for why the car flipped, it is possible. Physics is an unpredictable factor, but it could just be it looked cooler to do. Not necessarily. It depends what kind of substance was put on his skin, which the comics never fully explain in detail. They give a vague description, so I assume the film went with that. There is permanent damage, you could argue it was slowly killing his body and sanity. This is how it was explained in Batman: The Animated Series and some of the comics featuring or mentioning Two-Face.

thanks for the answers kwik. but here's another question. how could tow-face die from a simple tackle off a small ledge? also batamn dropped maroni from a way higher height and maroni lived. and considering on how tow-face sbody was postioned i highly doubt he landed on his neck.

Nolan said that Two-Face died via a broken neck. He had also endured previous trauma, and Maroni hadn't. The Killing Joke was a big influence for Nolan, and that is one of the most acclaimed Joker comics ever made, with Tim Burton being a huge fan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Killing_JokeBatman's armor (and most of his technology) is better then anything the military has in that film.

The technology in question was developed by Wayne Industries for military use, but was deemed too expensive for mass production.
In Batman Begins, Lucius Fox said that the body amour and such would have been more then $300,000 per soldier, not very cost effective.
Any enhancements or new items Bruce Wayne asked Fox to make were not mass produced of course.
The military wouldn't care that much in this case.

Loved this movie! Saw it twice in the theater! Heath was the man! Hate that Heath is gone & now we won't get an encore performance in a sequel.
