VOTD: Batman Is Confused - Plot Holes Of The Dark Knight

By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 9, 2009 12:00 am EST

Batman’s beginning to wonder if his movie makes any sense at all. In music video form, the eighth video in the Key of Awesome series takes aim at the plot holes of The Dark Knight. Of course, if you’ve been in a hole somewhere and still haven’t seen Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel, be aware this is spoiler filled. Watch the video embedded after the jump, followed by the lyrics.

The video: Behind the scenes: All characters played by Mark Douglas Music by: barely jake Lyrics: KID Batman! Why is he running, Dad? GORDON Because we have to chase him. KID Why? GORDON Because he can take it. Because hes not a hero, hes a silent guardian, a watchful protector, the Dark Knight KID I dont get it. GORDON Neither do I son, but it sounds cool. BATMAN As I ride on my bike at the end of Dark Knight Theres a few plot points that just dont feel right Like why the hell did I agree to take the rap Harvey Dent killed those people. Who gives a crap? And the Joker pulls crimes in such an orderly manner He must write it down in an evil day planner His henchmen are psycho and expendable Yet somehow completely dependable

And why is Morgan Freeman all pissed at me? He seemed to resign kind of randomly Its OK to build me an armored tank-car But ooh, tapping phones, thats going too far Chorus This movie of my life just doesnt hold together At least is beats the crap out of Batman Forever I enjoy car chases, explosions and suspense Is it too much to ask that it all make sense? ALFRED No no Master Wayne, you dont understand You cant kill a symbol, but you can kill a man BATMAN If I want to quit then thats my choice ALFRED Were alone you dont have to use that voice And what about Ms. Dawes its like you just forgot her BATMAN In Batman Begins she was so much hotter ALFRED Joker, are you busy? Lets call a truce.

The video:

Behind the scenes:

All characters played by Mark Douglas

Music by: barely jake

Lyrics:

KID

Batman! Why is he running, Dad?

GORDON

Because we have to chase him.

Why?

Because he can take it. Because hes not a hero, hes a silent guardian, a watchful protector, the Dark Knight

I dont get it.

Neither do I son, but it sounds cool.

BATMAN

As I ride on my bike at the end of Dark Knight

Theres a few plot points that just dont feel right

Like why the hell did I agree to take the rap

Harvey Dent killed those people. Who gives a crap?

And the Joker pulls crimes in such an orderly manner

He must write it down in an evil day planner

His henchmen are psycho and expendable

Yet somehow completely dependable

And why is Morgan Freeman all pissed at me?

He seemed to resign kind of randomly

Its OK to build me an armored tank-car

But ooh, tapping phones, thats going too far

Chorus

This movie of my life just doesnt hold together

At least is beats the crap out of Batman Forever

I enjoy car chases, explosions and suspense

Is it too much to ask that it all make sense?

ALFRED

No no Master Wayne, you dont understand

You cant kill a symbol, but you can kill a man

If I want to quit then thats my choice

Were alone you dont have to use that voice

And what about Ms. Dawes its like you just forgot her

In Batman Begins she was so much hotter

Joker, are you busy? Lets call a truce.

I need you to help explain the plot toBatman

JOKER

Call me insane, but I consider us friends

I brought the DVD so we can watch it again

Ill make the popcorn and pour the sherry

Ooh, maybe we could watch it with the commentary

How does Harvey Dent do total 180?

Well they barbequed his face and he lost his lady

When did you have time rig up both of those boats

Does talking that way ever damage your throat?

Well at least they got rid of Joel Schumacher

You know movie is really good the Hurt Locker

Oh I heard that was good. Ive been meaning to see it.

Whos in it?

Anthony Mackie

I dont know who that is.

He was in Eight Mile.

Oh, he the guy who hosted the rap battles.

No that was Mekhi Phifer.

Joker youre getting white makeup all over the popcorn.

Sorry, Hey did I ever tell you how I got these scars?

YES! Several versions.

Maybe some other people would like to hear the story.
