Humour and The Dark Knight Rises

[Ailton]

Good point. Hardy said that he's absolutely serious and there are no jokes about him, you're right. On the other hand I don't see why serious actions shouldn't be funny to the audience - with brutal scenes, people get scared, then released, then they laugh.

I also think the Joker didn't intend to be funny with his pencil trick. He just scared the mob off by showing them how surprisingly dangerous this clown can be.

It was intended to be funny to the audience.

That's exactly my point. And that's why it doesn't matter whether Bane intends to joke or not.

Also am I the only one that could not stop laughing when the joker interrogates the man who is pretending to be Batman and he slaps him and says "Are you the real batman?" and the "you do Bryan, you really do!"

IMO that's the most disturbing scene in the whole film, that poor guy is so scared and defenseless and the Joker just mocks and humiliates him.

As for TDKR, I'm sure Alfred and Fox won't disappoint.

More disturbing than funny IMO. But it is still great stuff.

The most hilarious bit of humor in this film is going to involve Batman, Catwoman, and a recurring gag throughout the series .

Most of the humor in this film is in the first half

The "look at me" line sounded like John Wayne gacy probably did when he was torturing his victims while in full clown regalia. Morbid, but just a thought.

It's okay, I had no plans on sleeping anyways.
