REVERIE: Fate of Lucius Fox, Salvatore Maroni in 'The Dark Knight' remains unclear

Aug 12, 2008

Christian Bale's The Batman dived at Aaron' Eckhart's Harvey Two-Face, causing him to fall from a high floor of a burnt warehouse in "The Dark Knight."

Though official sources confirm that the crazed Gotham City district attorney is dead, hardcore fans of "The Dark Knight" might have noticed that the fate of Morgan Freeman's Lucius Fox and Eric Robert's Salvatore Maroni was left unclear.

Whether Fox will return to run Wayne Enterprises and supply The Batman with the latest high-tech gadgets with crime fighting applications in a sequel depends.

In the movie, he resigned from the company in protest of the existence and proposed use of a sonar-based machine that would utilize Gotham citizen's cell phones to monitor and image the entire city.

Fox later agrees to use the machine to help The Batman find The Joker. "(But) as long as this machine is at Wayne Industries, I won't be," says Fox, whose ultimatum calls his job into question when it is destroyed.


Equally uncertain is whether Maroni died when Harvey Two-Face shot the mobster's driver, causing the limousine in which they were riding to flip over on its head. His fate is further questionable in that the ill-fated district attorney who caused the wreck thereafter survived, though he alone wore a seat belt. Maroni might have died or sustained injuries.

What is certain is that "Dent presses the barrel of the revolver behind the shadow of the driver. Maroni LUNGES, SCREAMING. Dent FIRES," the official movie script shows. "The Limo SWERVES off to the bridge, SOARS out over the canal, and PANCAKES into the RETAINING WALL."
