I'm pretty sure the fall knocked it (the life) out of him. Batman, wearing all that razmataz, still had quite the blow into him when he landed.

If he were still alive, they would have sent him to a pyschiatrist instead of do all that funeral jazz.

I'm kinda hoping for a Catwoman / Harley Quinn / Penguin mix-up for the third movie.

Another subtlety I loved was how the Joker had his hostage read a note on tape which he then sent to the cops/media and the Joker couldn't help himself, so he read along with the hostage like an annoying friend at the movies spoiling your fun but having lots of fun himself.

Wanna know what made that scene even better? Having followed that guy's escapades in Gotham for the last few months. That just raised the realism and relativity of that scene to an *ahem* insane level.

Keep in mind, Batman had a bullet in his stomach.

another subtlety of Joker related scenes. When he has the new reporter read the hostage note, if you notice, when he let's go of the pages, they are falling up.

He was holding that guy upside down, that's a nice touch

That's a good pick up! The finally scene when Bats had Joker hanging upside down, the camera had them both right-side-up, as if they are both face cards of a deck...

One thing I heard in the movie that I had NO idea about was Alfred's stories about the jungle. I think he was with a group of people who were regulating the jungle (south america) and one group was demanding gems from everyone else, but one guy was stealing the gems regardless that everyone was suffering because they didn;t have the gems to trade. Eventually they "burned the jungle down" to catch him.

I have never read anything about Alfred's past in any comics. Does anyone know anything about that?

He's had several background tellings over the years. I think mostly in the very early iteration, he was a former intelligence agent. Later, it was rewritten that he worked for the British royal family and the Waynes hired him from there.

So, i just watched it for the second time last night, and I started trying to find all the little jokes The Joker made during the course of the movie. Some of them were twisted, so that only he would find them funny, but they were still jokes or gags. Here's the ones I thought were hilarious, but I'd love to see if anyone found any others.

*extreme spoiler warning*

Being one of the masked bank robbers to hear what the other guys thought. 

Telling the other bank robber the bank manager was out of ammo.

"Nooo, I kill the bus driver."

Getting away from a bank robbery in a school bus.

Stealing a little of the mob's money as part of the plan to steal it all.

Custom made clothing - jacket and vest made from card table felt, shirt print is of the back of standard poker cards

Taunting the mob bosses with "Like the suit? You should, you bought it."

The 'you'll poke your eye out' magic trick.

"I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy" (Crazy people can't tell if they're crazy)

"Now let's not blow this out of proportion." (as he shows the grenades in his jacket)

Having Gamble's men 'try out' for a 'position' in the gang.

"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. We are tonight's entertainment."

Eating the hors d'ouvres loudly and tossing the champagne out of the glass before 'drinking' from it.

"Where's Harvey Dent?" (Spoken in a 'gentlemenly' accent in room full of rich people)

Grooming himself when approaching Rachel.

"Poor choice of words!"

Killing the commissioner and then replacing his honor guard.

Planting the joker card in the Judge's file, then when she ignores it, he fills her car with joker cards that go flying all over when the car explodes.

Obstructing the path of the police escort for Harvey Dent with a burning fire truck. (I can almost hear him saying "It's a fire truck! Get it!? HAHAHA"

Attacking the convoy from a circus truck.

The circus truck says "Laughter is the best medicine." but that wasn't ironic enough for the Joker, so he spray painted an "S" in front of "Laughter".

"I like this job."

Clapping for Gordon's promotion.

Lying about who was at which address, and having both Batman and Harvey listen as Rachel died.

"I want my phone call."

*silently mouths*"Six?"

Wearing a Harvey Dent campaign sticker while in Harvey's hospital room.

"I'm just like a dog chasing cars; I wouldn't know what to do with it if I caught one."

Convincing Harvey Dent, a man who stands for justice and fairness, that there is no plan, only anarchy.

"I'm only burning my half [of the pile of money]. You can do whatever you want with your half."

Switching the hostages with the thugs.

"This is where the irresistable force meets the immovable object" (A logical impossibility; if the force is irresistable, then...)

*End spoilers*

I'm sure there are more, those are just the ones i could remember.

Sitting next to Harvey in the hospital bed, dressed as a female nurse and just saying "Hi"

And his sarcastic laugh as he walked into the mob meeting and saying "And I thought my jokes were bad"
