Movies What If... The Dark Knight

[Majora Fi]

Riding the wave of Nolan's Odyssey, let's return to his film that's most deeply rooted in pop culture.

Specifically, the moment when Joker convinces Harvey Dent that he wasn't responsible for Rachel's death (and offers to be killed if he's wrong).

What if Harvey's coin favored the Joker's death? Would clown accept the bullet or run away? And how would the plot unfold if he died there?

I maybe wrong but of all the Nolan films, this was the only one that didn't get a Tie-in game. Begins had one on PS2 and Rises had one on Mobile where Bats was voiced by Goku(Sean Schemmel).

The problem was precisely that it was a movie-based game: EA tried to create an open world, realized they wouldn't have time to release it alongside the movie, canceled it and returned IP to Warner (who then gave it to Rocksteady to make Arkham Asylum).

If you look at the Joker's index finger, he's holding down the hammer of the revolver. Therefore, even if Harvey pulls the trigger, it won't fire unless Joker lets go of the hammer..

This made the coin toss even more ambiguous (did Harvey let Joker go when he realized this?)

I always thought it was just a test to see if he really could pull the trigger, and the gun probably wasn't even loaded.
