Someone Noticed A Hilarious Detail About 'The Dark Knight'

#1

The Dark Knight is one of the best superhero movies of all time. It’s been almost ten years since the classic The Dark Knight was released, the same move that introduced us all to arguably the best portrayal of The Joker all thanks to the late Heath Ledger.

But even though everyone and their mom have seen that movie, and even though it made a ton of cash, it is just now that people are realizing a hilarious small detail in the film that you may have missed the first time around.

The scene in question is when the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, sneaks into a hospital dressed as a nurse to try and kill a wounded Harvey Dent, played by Aaron Eckhart.

#4

"A great moment in movie history is when Harvey can't recognize The Joker until he takes off his surgical mask."

#5

Just look at Dent's reaction to the Joker...

#6

HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE?

#7

This is the greatest piece of acting in the history of cinema. Twitter seemed to agree...

#8

"I guess I just assumed he was still under shock or dozy because of surgery and exhaustion."

#9

"ah, I thought it might be, but it'd come across as insulting if you were serious and I asked if you were joking."

#10

He also never noticed it!

#11

"This is right up there with Clark Kent taking off his glasses. "

#12

"Guess he didn't care who he was ... until he took off the mask."

#13

"why am I just now noticing this?? lmao. "

#14

Yep. It’s been nine freaking years, and we didn’t notice.

#15

Others defended the scene.

"He's waking up. You see him blinking weird and groggy. It's not like they were talking before hand and there was a reveal."

#16

"This tweet and how the scene actually unfolds are two totally separate things. There's a reason why it never bothered you in the movie"

This is hilarious.
