The Dark Knight Deleted Scenes Part 2

Here is some more on deleted or changed scenes from The Dark Knight.

 

One of the days I was downtown Chicago for my costume fiiting in the police uniform.  I stumbled upon them filming a scene by the IBM building.  It was supposedly a scene involving the mayor having a dead Batman hanging outside the window of his office.  They used a dummy for most of it of course.

Notice he doesn't have any facepint on it the pic.

 

Now the part that is weird.  When they did the close ups with the actor painted up, he actually had a knife stuck in him with the Joker's card.

And when you see the movie........

Its pinned to his hockey pads.  Probably due to ratings and violence issues.  The film was already pushing the boundries of PG-13 and thats what Warner Bros. wanted was a PG-13 Batman film.  I love how the card says WILL THE REAL BATMAN PLEASE STAND UP!

 

Another scene they filmed but was missing was after the Joker crashed the Dent fundraiser and threw Rachael out the window, he had a brief scene with his goons in the car.  In one version of the script and novel the dialogue went something like this:

Goon: They didn't get Dent so the trip was a total loss

Joker: Not really.  We discovered something important, Batman's weakness.  He cares too much for the innocent.  And we can use that to our advantage.
