Joker doesn't die in this, the director has already confirmed it.

From the guys on set: "Batman is pissed and ties a bunch of Joker goons up, and throws them out a window. Damn cool!

[15jbullock]

@kthevsd but the Joker wont be back in The Dark Knight Rises

[spicyrulz101]

Wow this must have been amazing to witness.

[hackensac]

how did you get this?

[alucard1931]

That was crazy...stuntmen jumping out of a skyscraper and risking their lives for a brief scene. it's a shame that "best SFX" goes to anyone soaking their movie with CGI. Stuntmen need an Oscar category aside from Best Special Effects.

it is english,you douche.

[casstek]

fine.

I don't think they'd make it a point to -lie- about it in every reputable source possible, especially with the script stating that his neck is broken and he's, y'know, dead.

[casstek]

Well do you really think they'd tell you if he was gong to come back in another movie?

[Protozoan129]

Casstek, the script says he's dead, Eckhart says he's dead, and Nolan says he's dead. Therefore, Two-Face is dead.

He didn't get to thought. Hong Kong was really pissy with the entire shoot. Kept telling people to turn their lights off to ruin the night time panning shots. The building jump was CGI in the end. Truth.
