Dark Knight

So I spent today reading the Dark Knight script, it's online for free under a WB "For Your Consideration" website.

Turns out Heath Ledger improved some of the best parts of his character. Damn shame.

Anywho, this will settle the "Is He Dead?' argument from the movie. It's taken from the ending during the standoff at the burnt down warehouse.

DENT
Your turn, Gordon.

GORDON
You're right, Harvey. Rachel's death
was my fault. But punish me-

DENT
I'm about to. Tell your son it's
going to be all right, Gordon. Lie.
Like I lied.

Gordon looks up. Pained. Locks eyes with his son.

GORDON
It's going to be all right, son.

Dent FLIPS the coin. High. Dent's eyes FOLLOW the coin up-
Batman HURLS himself at Dent and the boy.

All three of them VANISH over the edge. A TERRIBLE CRASH then
silence, but for the sound of DENT'S COIN, SPINNING on
the floor at the edge of the hole.

Gordon, horrified, RUNS to the edge- peers down-
Dent lies at the bottom of the hole, his neck broken. DEAD.

The coin stops spinning, GOOD SIDE UP.
