The Dark Knight Discussion **CONTAINS SPOILERS** - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Ledger was amazing and I'm not saying this due to the circumstances.

Batman's voice annoyed me though at times and his girl was not very attractive. C'mon you have supermodels on your arm and you want her? Let's be serious.

Yeah Mel would be a great joker. I like that call.

I can't think of anyone but Jim Carey. It would have to be someone that would make you think "Huh?" but end up blowing you away like Ledger did. I wouldn't have initially thought Ledger would have done the job he did. Look at the beginning of this thread clear back to 2006, Ledger's name was never mentioned as a possible Joker by all that was speculating.

Right I was one who laugh at him as the Joker, but I was wrong. Mel could have played that part. He was pretty awesome in Mad Max.

He grew up with her. You will have feelings for people you grew up with more than some randomn chick you could hit any day of the week because of your bank account.

The whole point of those scenes was that Dent is dead. For the city to clean up, he had to die a hero. Two-face could be dead or alive, that doesn't matter, it only matters that since he was no longer Dent, he must be dead to the city.

I disagree. I think it's quite obvious he is dead. He didn't "become the villain" in the public eye, which is what the quote refers to. I would see no reason for his character to return because if the public did discover him, it would destroy the entire point of this movie, regardless of what half of his face looks like. People would still see Harvey Dent being a crazy mofo and the hope brought on the city by the "white knight" would be literally and figuratively killed.

Plus he wasn't laying on the ground like someone that was just knocked out, he was sprawled all over the place. They turned his head with no resistance. The guy is dead.

The dynasty will return

I totally agree. You always have a soft spot for your first crushes, even if the chick wasn't all that attractive you still felt something special about her. My 3bitz...

I just think there is a difference between having an amazing performance that ADDS to a film's greatness (Ledger) and then partaking in a role where you do everything in your will to steal every scene (Carrey and every film since Earth Girls Are Easy).

We agree. Right now I can't think of anyone else, and I am not suggesting a Carey reprisal of the role. It will have to be someone that I would have never guessed, and will add to the films greatness and not steal the scenes. Imo, Ledger didn't "steal" scenes. His performance is what most people will remember most about the movie, but his performance enhanced the the others.

I doubt that they bring the Joker back so soon after Ledger's death.
