10 Lies About Famous Movies You Probably Believe

7. Batman Begins

The Lie:"The Joker card tease is a direct foreshadowing for The Dark Knight. With films like The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel so forward thinking, planning ahead at the behest of the story at hand, it feels strange for a big blockbuster to not be setting up whatever may be down the line. So if a slight nod to the fans is made we immediately jump on it as some deep foreshadowing. When Batman Begins, a film whose villains were previously untouched on the big screen and thus new to many audiences, dropped the Joker card in the final scene, it was clear to everyone that we going to get someone a little more familiar the next time around."

The Truth: It was a little wink to fans, nothing more. Although what the card suggested would go on to be perfectly explored in The Dark Knight, Nolan never intended it to be anything more than something to get audiences thinking. At the point the film finishes, Batman has just established himself as the protector of Gotham and a good visual cue to cement this is to show that the stories we're more familiar with from previous TV and film incarnations are just round the corner.

Nolan is notorious for only ever focusing on one film at a time, so even if the card was intended to be something more concrete for the series, in his mind he was definitely going to be the guy exploring it.
