The Dark Knight: For 17 years, this detail at 16 minutes and 33 seconds from the film even has escaped the biggest fans

A wallpaper constelled with spider canvases in Spider-Man, a sound reference to the last second of Avengers Endgame, a cameo by Sam Neill at the start of Thor Ragnarok, funny ball impacts in The Dark Knight …

At 16 minutes and 33 seconds …

Perhaps even more than the others, superhero films contain many easter eggs, winks or references that informed fans can have fun lister by rediscovering their favorite feature films.

However, there are certain details so subtle that they go unnoticed in the eyes of the public. This is particularly the case for a brilliant staging find, skillfully slipped by Christopher Nolan at the start of The Dark Knight (as recently noted by the Instagram ThedarknightrilogyCollection account).

Indeed, when you see the second installment of the famous Batman trilogy, we recommend that you press pause at 16 minutes and 33 seconds, in the scene where Commissioner Gordon interpreted by Gary Oldman talks with the new prosecutor of Gotham, Harvey Dent, in the latter's office.

… Look carefully about the books behind Gordon

For the moment, Dent has not yet been kidnapped by the Joker, his face has not yet been half burned by acid, and he has not yet passed “on the dark”. However, when we carefully observe the library which is just behind Gordon in this sequence, we can note a very interesting detail.

The books on the left of the character are perfectly tidy, but those who are on his right are completely messy. You guessed it: this is a subtle representation of the two faces that will soon constitute the tooth face.

An additional proof that Nolan never leaves anything to chance.
