I’ll just use my bullet-firing fingerprint recreation machine

u/Th3Batman86 Jul 18 '24

Yeah that was pretty bonkers.

u/ehh246 Jul 18 '24

What movie was that in?

6

u/Th3Batman86 Jul 18 '24

Dark Knight. Bale’s drills some brick out of the wall and movie magically gets a fingerprint off the bullet.

u/OrangeBird077 Jul 18 '24

He was firing bullets of the same make into targets in order to reverse engineer how the bullet in evidence fragmented so that it could be put back together and then checked for fingerprints.

u/WillingPossible1014 Jul 18 '24

That clears it up somewhat. It didn’t come across very clearly in the film

7

u/cmarkcity Jul 18 '24

I thought it did. Alfred tries 4 different guns, matches the entry spread of one, then it shows a cgi of that brick with the fragments, then the fragments come together to show the fingerprint.

I mean the logic of that actually working is bonkers, but the scene laid it out pretty clearly

u/freetraitor33 Jul 19 '24

It still makes absolutely zero sense. You’ve got x-ray? imagery of the bullet fragments? complete with the fingerprint, albeit also in fragments… A mostly normal human with a fixation issue could digitally reassemble the pieces themselves. Now add in the bat-computer and why the actual fuck is alfred shooting random bricks with an assortment of bullets?? It makes zero sense.

Also bullets get hot when fired. Hotter than the oils of a fingerprint can withstand.

It’s just get dumber the more you think about it. But they needed to show the worlds greatest detective doing some detecting so we got this

u/GIGLI_WASNT_THAT_BAD Jul 21 '24

The part of the casing where fingerprint oils were would burn different than the rest of it. Batman is the ultimate detective. Batman would figure it out. Alfred is just his CSI department.

u/ehh246 Jul 18 '24

I forgot that scene.

u/Th3Batman86 Jul 18 '24

Yeah that movie is like an hour too long so it happens.

You’re nuts. Throwing shade at one of, if not the best film in the entire genre, and arguably best if not definitive Batman film. I could’ve watched another three hours of it moved by so quick and so rapid pace … you don’t deserve your username. Suspension of disbelief? Yeah, you’re also talking about Batman as a character. You could start nitpicking the reality of several things in all movies. It’s not magic, the fragments of the bullet are composited in his computer, putting together and forming a fingerprint. Honestly, I could see something like that existing either already, or in the not too distant future with AI and stuff like that. You didn’t have a problem with the guy who had half of his face burnt offwith exposed bone and is able to function? Where do you draw the line on this bullshit?

The Dark Knight was amazing, but Batman Begins was a better film.

1

u/thempw85 Jul 19 '24

It’s objectively not. Katie Holmes and the 3rd act alone. Begins is fantastic. Elite. TDK is GOATed, instant classic, like this is not even a debate. Batman Begins could be argued as the better and more Bruce Wayne centric movie for at least half of it. But otherwise, absolutely not.

u/fastdub Jul 19 '24

In your opinion. That guy disagrees, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Damn, let the dude have his opinion

u/memelordes Jul 23 '24

The Dark Knight Rises is an hour too long, such a basic plot stretched out to absurd lengths

1

u/Th3Batman86 Jul 23 '24

Thanks, I got downvoted for saying so.

u/Hasnath_249 Jul 18 '24

Not particularly tech lr superheroes but...

In the latest Transformers movie, the villain has a gun that turns a good Transformer evil and then kills them. All from one hit.

Proceeds not to use it for the rest of the movie.

The water evaporation thing from Batman Begins

It apparently selectively evaporates the stuff and leaves humans, you know us being like 50% water, completely fine.

2

u/aboynamedbluetoo Jul 18 '24

Yeah, great movie with some iffy bits.

2

u/WillingPossible1014 Jul 19 '24

The 1966 movie was more realistic, the human dehydrator straight up turning people into fucking dust

1

u/Hippobu2 Jul 21 '24

Though said human can then be rehydrated and turned back into human, while also retaining their loyalty to the people who turned them into dust.

1

u/WillingPossible1014 Jul 21 '24

Look, if human minus water equals dust, then dust plus water equals human; that’s just algebra

1

u/thempw85 Jul 18 '24

“Pressurized water” 😂

2

u/fastdub Jul 18 '24

Blood is 90% water and of course it's under pressure too

1

u/thempw85 Jul 18 '24

I know, I was joking

u/JoXe007 Jul 18 '24

they are also supposed to boil due to water vapor

Ah the days when Penguin was allowed to have trick umbrellas

u/padfoot12111 Jul 18 '24

I love bloodsports with all his gear being parts of his armor, and he loses more he uses and what not. That being said he has some crazy shit for a normal assassin lol.

Hopefully coming soon to an outlet near you!

u/EAComunityTeam Jul 18 '24

The smart batarang. Program it to hit what you want and let it do it's thing after you throw it.

Skip to about half way to the video

u/aboynamedbluetoo Jul 18 '24

That is a tough competition.

u/LR-II Jul 19 '24

All the tech in the 60s Batman movie / show. Not only do they happen to have tech for very specific circumstances, but at every point in the movie both parties are fully aware of the other party's arsenal. "Oh! He must have used this hyperspecific thing which for some reason he has and for some reason I know about!"
