Daily Dialogue — December 12, 2010

“Why so serious?”

 — The Joker (Heath Ledger), The Dark Knight (2008), screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer, characters by Bob Kane

For the video clip with the actual dialogue, go here. 

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is five words or less — maximum impact, minimum words — suggested by CWillGoWrite. The Dark Knight suggested by Marc.

Trivia: In one draft of the script, a reference to Robin being related to Rachel Dawes was considered. The character of Dick Grayson was not explicitly mentioned, however Rachel Dawes is revealed as being a relative of the Grayson family. Christopher Nolan had it removed because he didn’t want to build hopes up about the Robin character appearing in a future film.
