THE DARK KNIGHT: Gary Oldman’s Favorite Scene

4403

Yes, I KNOW, OK?

We’ve got a new Batman film in the works, and YES, I’m focused on it.  BUT…

I do love Batman and Batman history…especially when it involves me!

Back in July of 2008, I attended the press junket for THE DARK KNIGHT in Beverly Hills, California and got to interview the cast and crew — including the great Gary Oldman.

Later in the day, I was walking down the hotel hallway where the junket took place, and there sat Gary Oldman all by himself…and I couldn’t resist the opportunity.

I walked over to GO, stuck out my hand, and said, “Hi Mr. Oldman, Bill from BOF again.  I LOVED your speech at the end of THE DARK KNIGHT and just wanted to tell you that.”

GO grabbed my hand, shook it, and responded. “Thank you very much,” he said, “but do you want to know my favorite scene is?”

Of course, I said yes and you can see the scene below. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
