The Dark Knight - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
The security camera footage of the Joker that Gordon shows Batman has a timestamp of '07/18/2008'.
This date, July 18, 2008, was the official U.S. release date of "The Dark Knight".
Bruce Wayne drives a Lamborghini Murciélago.
In Spanish, 'murciélago' means 'bat,' making it a fitting car for Batman's alter ego.
When Lucius Fox is presenting Bruce with his new, more flexible armor, Bruce asks if it will hold up against dogs. Lucius replies, 'Should do fine against cats.'
This is a subtle nod to the future appearance of Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman, who would be a prominent character in the next film, "The Dark Knight Rises".
The name of the Gotham City judge who is killed is Judge Surrillo.
This is a likely homage to one of the film's second assistant directors, Jesus 'Chuy' Surrillo.
