The Dark Knight Ending Speech--HQ

[MLoooll]

Because hee is not a hero ... He is a silent guardian .. A watchful protector ... A dark knight

[XxShadowOfAgesxX]

CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE

MOTHA FUCKIN CHILLS MAN

[Brrtoe]

Someone give batman some kleenex, i think he has to sneeze.

[tastytastfood]

Gary Oldman, Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman. this scene is too fucking epic for my head

[TheMartinEmmanuel]

GOOSE BUMPS!

[nkk20012001]

Why does have to take it on himself...they could have charged it on the joker...?

[Majichianneru]

@nkk20012001

omg you right !!!

i never think to that before ...

yes, why not ont the joker ?

but, for the movie, it's more better, think to the next with TDKR

[DevilishmanThe]

@nkk20012001 Because the Joker was clearly somewhere else during the fight. They cannot say the joker did it if he was somwhere else.

[DrDemianCadillac]

@nkk20012001 The can`t say the joker did it because he was too busy messing around with the ferries. Plus, he was already arrested in the previous scene...

[Stevemybear]

I just love the music in the background I always listened to when I had the movie on my iPod but I had to delete for more space and now apple charging me 10 bucks to Redownload it. :( I loved this part

[mrksiy]

hey Batman, why are your movies so good?

[tonyz3t]

THIS MADE MY DICK ROCK HARD

[OfficerMickey1]

I remember the whole theater was screaming and clapping

[americangal5]

Gary Oldman rocks. Christian Bale is freaking hot. 'Nuff said

[thewatchman2009]

I Never get tired of watching that scene! both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are amazing in there own right, with TDK raising the bar ever so slightly. I REALLY hope The Dark Knight Rises can live up to everyone's expectations and after seeing inception I am quietly confident that TDKR will solidify Nolan as one of the great directors of modern action cinema...If he is not there already.

[The90slim90]

@thewatchman2009 Nearly Impossible to top TDK, but man, It's Chris Nolan. He'll blow our minds once again, and somehow he will make TDKR even better.

[SergeantTomato5]

Who exactly were the five dead???I know who 2 of them are but what about the others.

[The90slim90]

@SergeantTomato5 Wuertz, Maroni, Maronis driver, Maronis guard, the fifth I'm not quite sure, maybe Gordon thinks he killed Ramirez too.

[Lastbutnotleast95]

This movie is a masterpiece ...nuff said.

[missdramaqueen1022]

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!! :)

[dinkthroughball]

by far the best ending of any film ever

[jjjjzzzable]

I think of of the reason why people more like batman than other heroes is that batman has been described like a really human being, he will get hurt, he will blood, he will cry, he do has negative side, he will do everything which human will do, except he has a stronger soul, thats why he can take it, thats why he is the hero we deserve.

[LatinoBadass]

i liked whay more that batman voice that bale did for batman beguins

[Stormeyworld]

Christopher Nolan you're the best screenwriter ever!

[Neopolitic]

This is not fiction fantsasy story. You can see those dark knights every day....around you. You just have to see thru all the sharade.

[tastytastfood]

"...because he can take it..."

goosebumps and even a hint of manly tears occurred. perfect ending. This too me is one of the only movies that feels like more than a movie like genuinely. If you understand what I mean, you'll know the feeling

[Atlasshrugging18]

"Hes the hero gothm derserves but not the one it needs right now" that can go with Bush in 2008, Hes the president America deserves right now but not the one it needs right now

[Atlasshrugging18]

This scene is like Bush in 2008, "You either die a hero or live long enough too see yourself become the villian"

[RemBlu]

@Atlasshrugging18 What the hell are you talking about, dude? You had me cracking up like crazy here xD rofl!

[Atlasshrugging18]

@RemBlu Ilm talking about is that Dent like Obama during 2008 and Gordon like McCain, Bush fled the white house because the president america deserved but not the one it needed, so as Gordon or McCain said, "So we'll hunt him"

[schapadap]

@Atlasshrugging18 fuck that, Bush started 2 wars and did a horrible job as president. Hes not the president America needed or deserved.

[Atlasshrugging18]

@schapadap What I meant was that you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian. Now in 9/11 america did look towards Bush as a hero but that fame died down because he was in Office for longer.

[ultraryanrules2]

damn good quality dude

[DANNexMACHINA]

Following, Memento, The Prestige, TDK, and Inception all have such amazingly epic endings!!

[Stormeyworld]

@DANNexMACHINA I agree. I love the ending of The Dark Knight and Inception. The music is amazing and so is everything else. Love it!

[DANNexMACHINA]

@Stormeyworld And I read that there's this super emotional scene in The Dark Knight Rises. I'm suppose to go see it with all my friends, I hope there ready to see me cry, LOL!

[schapadap]

@DANNexMACHINA With Hans Zimmer doing the score and Christopher NOlan directing, you know there will be lol

[The90slim90]

@DANNexMACHINA I guess the ending of TDKR will be the most epic thing ever.

[15jbullock]

@The90slim90 lets hope i mean its the last and some say that the Ending is so secret that the actors had to promise not to say anything

[The90slim90]

@15jbullock Most of the actors got a script without the ending scene. That's how secret it is. :O

[15jbullock]

@The90slim90 IKR i cant wait to see that ending u might see the ending to batman and u see the start of BATMAN BEYOND

[lLxJLxJl]

1080p!

[TheNav1993]

Probably the best ending to a movie EVER ! GOOSEBUMPS ALL AROUND.

[nb45001]

5 people who disliked this are the 5 dead.

[nb45001]

Not just the best superhero movie ever,The Dark Knight is the best MOVIE ever.(well until the dark knight rises comes out)

[hmc117]

One of the most EPIC movie endings ever, and one of the best movies ever.

[NewSuperAvenger]

@hmc117 not just a best movie. But THE best superhero film/sequel ever.

[fLrzi]

@NewSuperAvenger the phrase "best movie ever" already includes superhero- and sequelfilms :D

[SonnyRed298]

The ending scene was legendary

[bladervinay]

This Batman movie was epic and de ending was so good it begs out for more of

But I do think Joker did win at the end cos he made Batman look as a criminal and Batman is a symbol for justice unlike Harvey dent who is just a man

[MrJohnDoe2525]

I have no clue why I cried at the end its just that great I can't wait for dark knight rises

[Firebreather832]

I'm pretty sure Coleman Reese is at Dent's funeral at 2:10. On the left.

[96ruiz]

Hes the pimp Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now...

[elite4th]

@banethebrawler

But he didn't kill remirez the female cop because when he flipped the coin the unburnt side was up. Then he said after flipping the coin you live to see another day detective. Watch the film again man

[vinnievu1]

@elite4th Then tell me who's the 2nd dead cop and the 5th dead person.

[elite4th]

@vinnievu1 well the movie was cut short 34 min cause it had been too long but i know for sure that Christopher Nolan (director) had more scenes of Harvey killing killing ppl that was not aired. I am assuming the ppl he killed in those cut scenes were cops. Unfortunately you can't always anticipate where the cuts will need to be made in the editing room.

[stickdownman]

@elite4th i wouldn't have minded a longer movie =)

[razgriz1101]

@stickdownman me too

[bbtank3000]

Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had extremely well written endings. Batman Begins ended with Batman telling Gordon he'd never have to thank him for protecting Gotham--it showed Batman's sense of honor and selflessness in his commitment to justice. The Dark Knight continues that trend, but goes on to explain how Batman isn't a shining hero to be put on display, but the standalone outcast who is still a hero because of his heroic efforts no matter how he's condemned by the people.

[RTSRafnex2]

He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight! man, the end is so f***ing epic!!!!!!

[thinhtran12345]

I wonder if Rachel's letter and what she really said is going to mention in TDKR....Poor Bruce....Great movie btw. One of the best <3

[slaidification]

What a compelling ending. This makes the Dark Knight so successful. The music just matches it perfectly. P.S. If there's gonna be a Robin, which I hope there isn't, at least let this kid be it. I was expecting him to be your typical child actor at first, but I was proven wrong, he's good.

[PSNdeathlyrYaN]

R.I.P Heath Ledger, Nolan Made The Dark Knight. Nothing will beat his Dark Knight Films, especially Superman(HELL NO!). Batman...is...a Legend!

[Susi2584]

@PSNdeathlyrYaN actually Nolan and Heath's extraordinary performance as The Joker made a film great...I thought Bale sucked as The Batman...

[sushiboi66]

FIVE DEAD, TWO OF THEM COPS?' what the hell is he talking about???

[BaneTheBrawler]

@sushiboi66 Ramirez (Female cop Harvey kills), Wirtz (Male cop Harvey kills), Maroni (Mob guy Harvey kills), Maroni's driver (Random dude Harvey kills), and Harvey himself. Yes, Harvey dies.

[XFitness4LifeX]

This shit gave me goose bumps all over! 3:50 - I started to break in tears!

[mcbaseball2007]

the 4 people who dislike this worked for the joker

[xeroxophy]

This is y I still think we all love to be superheros with super power, still this is y I would definitely hate being a hero like Batman, because it is just so tough being in his situation bcoz I cannot take it.. this is still y I respect this legend so much.. while I treat the others as cartoon

[roninredshade]

1:44 I had the same reaction as Gordon when I saw this in the theater, which is why it's one of my all-time favorite movies....

[trepistol]

Resurrected2011 is right,I read in entertainment weekly back in either the Dec 2008-Jan 2009 issue,they were like if Heath would have never died,they were gonna bring him back,when joker was like "We're destined to do this forever"was the hint

[Liquidsback]

The Joker he's the villain Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he isn't after power, or money. He's a Harlequin of Hate.....The Clown Prince of Crime......The man who laughs...

[Resurrected2011]

What Bane is going to do in TDKR was all originally The Joker's doing... Then Heath died and they re-wrote it for Bane.

[Kameel661]

@Resurrected2011 seriously dude is that true?

[yamisupersaiyan]

@Resurrected2011

WTF no thats retarded. Bane is physically powerful, it isn't just a rewrite. Its been 8 years since TDK, why would Joker even be in for that long just to come back so late?

[sushiboi66]

@Resurrected2011 mm yes the joker was going to appear in TDKR but maybe they already had a role for bane in the movie

[gamelucked97]

heath ledger deserved the role of the joker.The first time i saw him i was blown away.But his gone now :(.Christopher Nolan is one of my favourite director.BTW best batman music ever.GOOD JOB HANS!!!!!

[nyyank87]

Christopher Nolan is the director we deserve, but not the one we need right now

[samfilmkid]

@nyyank87 actually, we REALLY need him right now! the state cinema is in and all...

[OnRockIT]

@nyyank87 So we'll bicker him, because he can take it. Because he's not the director we need.

[BTLgmoney]

As a Lifelong Batman fan, this ending had me in tears. Christopher Nolan for me was the first writer/director/producer to get the Story of batman RIGHT. For me Nolan took the foundation of Batman and made his own version of it to cater to a real life Gotham with real issues that we can relate to ie (Corruption, fear of what will happen, etc.) and blended it with the comic world of Batman. Really can't wait for July 20th 2012.

[zuzucool89]

@BTLgmoney i feel u man! same here...



[chupacbrasTV]

@BTLgmoney 100% right. It took it from the comic book world and put it out in our own world with all it's darkness and grit

[15jbullock]

@BTLgmoney me either i cant believe it will be the last i cant wait to see it. here is wat i see in TDKR i see its like months after the Events of TDK then Bane comes and ends up breaking Batman's back then 8 years later he comes back to stop Bane for good and ends up getting hurt worst in it and then quits for good and then we see a beginning to BATMAN BEYOND

[Animeality]

@BTLgmoney melodramatic Nolan-supporting. Yawn.

[YODA2011able]

this was the first movie in a long time that at the end the audience applauded. great movie looking forward to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

[Sunburn190]

This video is the one we deserve, but not the one we need right now. So I'm going to watch it in 1080p. Because my computer can take it.

[gourcuff0008]

@Sunburn190 Nice one !



[Animeality]

@Sunburn190 High-larious.

[RudySpino]

Does any one else tear up at the last few lines of this speech? <:')

[zufi7]

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"..epic quote.

[dantemaycry89]

I remember seeing this and as soon as the 'The Dark Knight' appeared at the end titles I was like "WTF!? I want Batman 3!" and now it's not far away =D

[Avrura]

the dark knight rises start with that speech

[sailorsam]

Thank you for posting a video titled "HQ"...that actually IS HQ!!

[Yamimike3000]

THE JOKER AND HARVEY TWO FACE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO DIDN'T LIKE THIS EPIC ENDING

[21a45]

Can't wait to the new batman movie!

[1Minute60Seconds]

"He's a silent guardian, a watchfull protector"

* Puts on glasses *

"The dark knight".

[lonelydarktenshi]

So they'll hunt him because he can take it. Great quote.

[usman78662]

gorden: fuck you

batman: you dont have to fuck me

gorden: yes i do

[Warlord2994]

Batman is my favorite!!!!

[thenewdarkknight]

At the beginning of TDKR you will hear part of the speech, and Gordon at the end is going to say ''I believe in Harvey Dent''

[MarcusKiner]

@thenewdarkknight believed, past tense

[SternMann93]

Usually superhero mives come out as cheesy. This, however is one of the best movies ever made.

[Darkknightfan426]

No best superhero movie of all time.

[subsidia]

best batman movie of all time!

[GamepadDave]

The greatest ending to one of the greatest films of all time. Dare I say this is my favourite film? Yep. This is my favourite film.

[TheElMuffin]

I have the weirdest boner right now.

[GileadsFinest]

Stellar ending to a flawless movie. Batman's sacrifice here really reminds me of The Boss's sacrifice at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3. Both are outstanding characters, true heroes who willingly sacrificed their reputation for the greater good. True heroes do what's right no matter what; they don't need people's approval, they don't need to be liked.

Can't wait for the third movie. Hopefully it's just as good as the first two. I have a feeling Batman will sacrifice his life in the end.

[yaya8041]

Batman chose to sacrifice his own reputation in order to protect Harvey's so that people in Gotham will not lose faith. That's what I call a superhero, not someone with superpower but someone who are willing to sacrifice himself for others.

[911jesse]

GORDON IS BLACK.

[SuperTomcat105]

James Gordon Jr.: Why's he running, Dad?

Jim Gordon: Because we have to chase him.

James Gordon Jr.: But he didn't do anything wrong.

Jim Gordon: Because he's the hero Gotham deserves. But not the one it needs right now. And so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent gaurdian. A watchful protector. A DARK KNIGHT!

[95Wilhelm]

@zer0knight Yes he ia you fucking moron, there is a picture of Bane holding Harvey Dent's picture in front of a crowd (or a gathering of people of some sort). And there are pictures and videos of a lot of criminals running in the streets (probably the criminals Harvey locked up). I'm pretty certain is going to use Harvey's scandal to his profit.

[bulldozerchn]

The quality...wow

[95Wilhelm]

How this movie's ending turns out will be affected in the next movie and thus be a part of the story. Bane will use this scandal with Harvey Dent in order to take control of Gotham or release all the criminals back on the streets. God Nolan and his brother are fantastic screenwriters.

[zer0knight]

@95Wilhelm The dark knight rises takes place 8 years after the events in the dark knight, :P bane isn't gonna use anything to do with the harvey dent scandal -.-

[Alexthegreat8907]

Imma take a crack at speculation: Bane exposes the truth about Harvey Dent, letting all the criminals he locked up out on the streets.

[Tweektweakcoffee]

@nani5555 Oh :'( thanks for telling me lol

[MrDaxaou]

epic movie......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tweektweakcoffee]

Wait does anyone know if Harvey died? Because if he did I will cry =(

[nani5555]

@Tweektweakcoffee yeah Harvey dies. Supposedly Christopher Nolan confirmed it. Sorry to break your heart.

[ThePiSymbol]

@nani5555 I've heard the same but my doubt comes from the fact that Batman fell from the same height and survived.

[AlexDiscoBall]

@Tweektweakcoffee Still alive in the comics!

[gregapage]

@Tweektweakcoffee dumbass you seen his funeral!!

[ceazuh]

@Tweektweakcoffee hes laying there dead haha :P

[WildGunsTomcat]

@Tweektweakcoffee

Harvey Dent had to die. That's why Batman tells Gordon to blame him for everything bad that happened...so Harvey remained a hero.

[WildGunsTomcat]

@Tweektweakcoffee

Let me clarify. Batman had to be blamed so that the Joker wouldn't win. The Joker wanted to prove that a good man can fall easier than a bad man. Batman refused to let that happen...so he took the blame. Harvey died for their cause.

[trequor]

I wonder if Batman's cape ever gets caught in his batpod wheel

[doriitostv]

best...movie...ever!!!!!!!!

[63Dayton36]

There are good endings... They are great endings... Then there is this ending :)

[Nick64266]

The Dark Knight Rises

Gordon: "Thank you...Bruce."

Batman: "No. Batman."

[95Wilhelm]

Every time I see this I get goosebumps, one of the best endings ever! The Dark Knight Rises will be amazing, no doubt!

[akumatekkusu666]

NO CASKET!!!!!

[supermanfan62]

kill colman reese

[gio05]

Best ending movie lines ever: (no particular order)

1. "Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now!"

2. "To convince me to honor our arrangement? To take a leap of faith, Yes. Come back..."

3. "I never said thank you!... And you'll never have to"

4. "Do you have anything to say?...Abracadabra."

[ETibbs11]

@gio05 And all Nolan films. Kudos :D

[ChannelXII]

@gio05

Coincidentally (or not?) those lines are all from Nolan movies. But they are great lines nonetheless.

[Gammodore]

@gio05 all christopher nolan films too

[TheArsenalfan49]

that one dislike must be from katie holmes

[getclutch72]

& Joel Schumacher.

[cyndilu93]

This world needs a Batman :(

[notforvideos]

@cyndilu93 lmao - He'd straight up die. LoL

[Gir78623]

I feel truly blessed by God to be born at a time where movies like these have been made with actors who don't portray their characters, but rather play an extension of themselves.

[iknownothing34]

I can't find the words...I was going to post something about this...but it's just so.....I can't find the words.

[Superbat577]

Epic ending to an epic movie.

[SmolyMartin]

MAke a movie with Gordon Freeman and you win a Oscar!

[nray25]

The Joker disliked this.

[fucku999able]

James Gordon Jr.: [Batman runs off into the darkness as James Jr. joins his father by Harvey Dent's body] Batman? Why's he running, Dad?

Lt. James Gordon: [Staring after Batman] Because we have to chase him.

James Gordon Jr.: But he didn't do anything wrong.

Lt. James Gordon: Because he's the hero Gotham deserves. But not the one it needs right now. And so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent gaurdian. A watchful protector. A dark knight

[CMakaveli91]

'So we'll hunt him ... because he can take it .'

Like a bawse.

[HEEEEELLLOOOOOOOOOOO]

Oh just another day of Nolan's amazing endings. Typical.

[natmanprime]

"what u need what u deserve, what u need", oh what BULLSHIT

actors can't enunciate properly, and the director cant get the soundman to pick up the SOUND

FUCK

preeeeetentious

heath and the old boys (btw caine OR freeman ok?, not both, no room) were good, but these two cunts "brahhhbrahbrahblah..whisperwh­isper"

fuck me

[SergeantTomato5]

@natmanprime You dissing others about talking weird but no one can understand what the fuck your saying without hurting there eyes and brain.

[natmanprime]

@SergeantTomato5 ha u poor thing

the difference is i'm not a paid actor charging money so i can talk how i like get it??

muppet

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@natmanprime

It's a bit sad that you call this 'bullshit' when it obviously goes way over your head. Take a chill pill and go watch Batman and Robin, that should benefit your level of understanding. By the way, you should get your ears cleaned out, I heard everything they said perfectly.

[natmanprime]

@RS1Comedy1Vids oh ok. then would u mind telling me whats the difference between u needing a slap and deserving a slap?

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@natmanprime

Pfft... try me, mate.

[natmanprime]

@RS1Comedy1Vids LOL what do u mean 'try you' you idiot how'm i gonna slap u through the internet?

i was asking u a question.

whats the difference?

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@natmanprime

Well that was lost on you, should have figured. Well geez, how should I know? Go ahead and attempt to humour me.

[natmanprime]

@RS1Comedy1Vids no it was lost on YOU u insufferable moron. it wasnt intended as direct threat it was a question: do you deserve a slap... or need one? which is it? quickly now

btw ur supposed to know the difference since u claim to know what the fuck theyre talking about

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@natmanprime

I'm the insufferable moron... while you ask people if they need or deserve online slaps... why am I wasting my time here... Is your 'question' related to this video clip? If so, you truly have misinterpreted this scene. Is it a play on Gordon's words at the end? I feel a facepalm coming along.

[natmanprime]

@RS1Comedy1Vids ur instinct is correct...nowhere did i offer you, or ask if u deserve online slaps...

do u understand?

INCORRECT mr Dildo!!

LOOL

1st an online slap would be impossible. i dont know why u cant understand that. i merely implied that u deserve (or need? who knows ;)) ...a SLAP. the fact that u think it'll come through the internet somehow, or that i offered it, is entirely a fabrication of your addled mind.

2nd: it was also a QUESTION about whats the difference.

WOW

*facepalm*

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@natmanprime

Unreal. The only thing more flawed than your questions is your logic.

[natmanprime]

@RS1Comedy1Vids ...translation: u've just been pwned and ur trying to save face.

lets walk u through it: "me: "do u deserve or need a slap"

you: "DURR.. u ask people if they deserve or need online slaps."

me: "WRONG. i said (well, implied actually) that u DESERVE a slap. not an ONLINE(note carefully) slap. that would be, of course, impossible *smirk*"

now. my question also alluded to the verbally implied difference in the movie between 'needing' and 'deserving'.

what is the difference?

hmmm?

[RS1Comedy1Vids]

@natmanprime

Pwned? Really? Don't get your hopes up too high. Besides, I can't believe you took the whole 'online slaps' thing so seriously, I guess sarcasm doesn't communicate well through the form of text. Also, you didn't 'imply' anything; you asked, probably the dumbest question I have ever come across in YouTube. Let me try and explain this whole "deserve" and "need" thing, before you embarrass yourself further. See my next post.

@RS1Comedy1Vids sarcasm!!!looool

no sorry that doesnt work, i can see ur trying ur best to backtrack

i dont need to HOPE u get pwned, its just happened ur poor thing : )
