Playing the Movies: The Dark Knight

Yesterday, I walked through some different teams you could run to play through Batman Begins, today we visit the sequel and run though all the fun that can be had with Joker & company. And since the Joker is one of my favorite characters of all time, and this set filled with fun Jokery goodness, I had a lot of fun building these teams. My only big complaint is that the Joker and his 4 Henchmen never work out to a nice round point total, without filling in alternate characters (the route I took) or filling in multiples of 1 or more Henchmen (which I'd never try to do since I've had a heck of a lot of trouble trying to track down 1 of each to begin with, as I'm still missing 2-4 in my own collection).

Anyway, without further rambling, let's start where the movie does with the bank heist with Joker's Gotham Underworld crew:

 35 DKR007 The Joker's Henchman #1
 60 DKR016 Salvatore Maroni
 33 DKR019 The Joker's Henchman #2
 35 DKR207 The Joker's Henchman #3
 40 DKR208 The Joker's Henchman #4
 85 DKR209 The Joker
--------------------------------------------------------
288 Total

Sure Sal doesn't really belong on the team, but outside of duping a couple of Henchmen, it's the only way to get the team to work. You could always say that Sal is standing in for the bus driver if you need an explanation.

The next team is the Gotham City alliance that took down the mob banks, and extracted Lau from his office in China:


 60 DKR017 Harvey Dent
 35 DKR026 Lucius Fox
140 DKR029 The Batman
 50 DKR106 Sgt. Gordon
--------------------------------------------------------
285 Total

Later, Joker and new henchmen from the Gotham Underworld bust up Harvey's fundraiser, being put on by Wayne and his elite Gotham City friends:

 35 DKR007  The Joker's Henchman #1
 40 DKR010B Falcone Bodyguard
 40 DKR010B Falcone Bodyguard
 33 DKR019  The Joker's Henchman #2
 75 DKR104  The Joker
 35 DKR207  The Joker's Henchman #3
 40 DKR208  The Joker's Henchman #4
--------------------------------------------------------
298 Total

Versus:

 60 DKR003  Bruce Wayne
 40 DKR005A GCPD Officer
 40 DKR005B GCPD Officer
 60 DKR017  Harvey Dent
 45 DKR018  Rachel Dawes
 55 DKR013  Alfred Pennyworth

I didn't actually build a team that uses Joker as Sgt. mainly because it runs into EXACTLY the same problems as the bank heist team unless you actually build him on a team with other GCPD pieces and run it as a Police theme team. However, to me, that just feels wrong. So I jump ahead to the climax of the film. Again we pit the Gotham Underworld against Gotham City:

 35 DKR007  The Joker's Henchman #1
 65 DKR009  Two-Face
 40 DKR010B Falcone Bodyguard
 40 DKR010B Falcone Bodyguard
 33 DKR019  The Joker's Henchman #2
194 DKR028  The Joker
 35 DKR207  The Joker's Henchman #3
 40 DKR208  The Joker's Henchman #4

129 DKR001  The Dark Knight
 40 DKR005A GCPD Officer
 40 DKR005B GCPD Officer

 55 DKR013  Alfred Pennyworth
 35 DKR026  Lucius Fox

That's all I have for today. Part 3 will go up sometime between tomorrow and Tuesday (depends on when I remember and have time to post). Thanks for reading, and if you have feedback, and/or other team ideas that I missed, feel free to list them in the comments.
