In the future, the “Dark Knight” did not notice this brilliant reference to the hit book for years

But fans suddenly found a visual detail in one of the episodes, which can be read as a hidden reference to the Joker Smel whides. And based on the reaction to the network, many are certain: it was a conscious gesture of Christopher Nolan.

The reason for discussion appeared on Reddit, where one of the users drawn attention to the short scene closer to the final of the film. In the frame – the big opening of the monument for Batman. And it seems to be nothing unusual, but if you look closely, the composition of the frame is something very familiar: in the background there is a visual element that looks like a strongly grinning face. Those who grew up on the “Dark Knight” immediately recognize the characteristic grimas of Joker.

The director Nolan has never confirmed this himself. But fans are sure: this is what a thin and respectful hint looks like – not obsessive, without dialogues and fanfare, but expressive enough to be noticed. As one of the commentators said:

“A reference to the joker, hidden in the stage in which Batman is honored. Very in Nolaan.”

Remember that the HIT Warred Book died in 2008, a few months before the release of the “Dark Knight”. For the role of the joker he posthumously received an Oscar and his image is still considered one of the most powerful transformations in the history of comic adaptations. Since then, Jared Leto and Joakin Phoenix have tried the role, but nobody can avoid comparison with ledger.
