DjMaffi The thing is that he ended up going on TV and would reveal it if Joker did not stop it🤔 so i dont know why people actually applaud this scene. He clearly did not give a shit and this speech did not worked on him
No. Because he didn't. He just caused him to really reevaluate his position and showed him he had no leg to stand on. Basically go back to work and forget about it, for his own good.
@@technokokos Yes and then several things would have been called into question, not gonna list them out. The point was that the guy was gonna try and blackmail him but didn't have any credible evidence to back up his claims. All of his claims could be destroyed with simple sentences like "He stole the vehicle" and "Mr Wayne wanted a new house, and some new furnishings that's where the money went", and those just came off the top of my head. A billionaire, specifically one as smart as Bruce, with weeks, possibly months of time to prepare wouldn't even have to try hard to dismantle his claims.
@@technokokos it totally worked. He was only going to reveal it because the Joker was gonna blow up a hospital. Then the Joker Changed his mind and wanted him killed. Did you even watch the movie?
I think he implied two things though. 1. either you're an idiot and are going to tarnish your reputation if you go public because Wayne will run a smear campaign and will win. or 2. he is Batman, you think blackmailing Batman will end well. lmao no matter how you look at it, fox played this dude
@@mungy27 He sure did. I saved this video, so I can always watch again how perfectly he owned this punk. I don't know why, but it always makes me smile when Morgan Freeman, after a perfect pause, is smiling and just on the verge of laughing as he says, "Good luck." Perfect!
This line is so brilliant because Fox presents him with two outcomes. He would either face the wrath of Batman, or face the wrath of Bruce Wayne, neither of which would be so pleasant.
Just in different ways One way your fired and can never find a good paying job again Or 2 Batman takes all the evidence you have and burns it If you get in the way he punches you in the face
I would say 3 … 1 he faces bruce waynes influence , being fired and sued. 2 he looks like a complete idiot trying to convince people bruce wayne is batman 3. Batman beats his ass
One thing that always pisses me off in fan wars is when The Dark Knight is used as an example of why superhero movies don't need jokes. So many Man of Steel fanboys are convinced that jokes aren't important to a narrative, yet skip over the fact that, while not as blatant as the Marvel films, The Dark Knight had amazing jokes like this one in it.
+Infinight Moon TDKT has several jokes. Some are amazing. Some are chuckle-worthy but not very funny. Anyone who says that there are a lack of jokes here is wrong. And of course, no jokes take away from the scene or movie as a whole, it just improves it.
If He's Wrong: He gets the crap sued out of him by Bruce Wayne. If He's Right: He gets the crap beaten out of him by Batman. Worst blackmail scheme ever.
Heck, even if Batman doesn't beat him up, it would still go wrong for him either way: If he's wrong: He gets the crap sued out of him by Bruce Wayne. If he's right: Bruce and Lucius change some things around and disappear the evidence, then nothing's found and nobody believes him, and he gets the crap sued out him by Bruce Wayne. Reese really didn't think things through, did he?
@@Interestingenough4 doesn't take much to disprove a theory based on "circumstantial" evidence. Alfred, Fox, and Bruce would be able to tear apart his entire theory and ruin his life. Just him, "keeping the evidence" is enough for the three of them to reshape somethings so that if Reese should come out, they would be prepared for it.
One of the smartest men in the world who is also one of the richest men in the world who is also a superhero vigilante yeah kind of the worst possible choice.
@@OneSockOff_95 actually he is, The Riddler is supposed to be the main villain in The Dark Knight Rises, but Christopher Nolan decided to start his "ARC" if you will...
I don't think Reese is stupid per se. Reese, like a lot of people, liked the idea of being able to place a rich guy under his thumb, ignoring that blackmail is a dangerous game to play, especially on a wealthy man. Lucius understands this and kind of pities Reese. Which is why he is telling Reese, "Buddy, you're in over your head, so I suggest you back out before you do something stupid," as a friendly warning.
Nathan Seper seriously man, just in our reality alone a man as powerful as Bruce Wayne could have you killed. Someone with that much money more than likely knows someone who is a professional bagger and can make like your existence never was. Of i had wealth like that, you bet you ass i would too. Its called protecting you funds and assets from potential threats.
I didn't understand Lucius' response at first when i was a kid. Now i think it's pretty much the perfect ingenious response. "You think a billionaire is a cloaked vigilante? And you want to blackmail him?" not necessarily denying but helping him reevaluate his line of thought and decision making.
He didn't fold. He went to the media and did an even dumber thing, drawing the attention of the joker and getting thousands of people desperate to kill him. THEN, Bruce Wayne saved him..
He discovered it all by accident but thought was smart, but if he were he'd be like "Blackmail? Goodness, no, let's not misunderstand each other. I found it out, and others can too. I can fix this, and keep working to prevent that from happening again. There are people who would rather sell this to some wealthy criminals. Let's negotiate."
@@desipop3654 Pattinson is great and is gonna be a great Batman, maybe even the best. But give credit where credit is due...Bale is one of the greatest actors ever and is a true chameleon.
Just up to the part about how much money he could get. Everything after that got a bit hazy. The idea of $10,000,000 a year for life can mess with your head.
"Spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands" eye opener for that guy. Seeing how he was going to be a criminal for blackmailing Bruce. Too funny.
Given how Bruce is himself a criminal for his actions? His interrogation of Flass by yo-yoing him would've been ruled as inadmissible due to Flass being under duress and would say anything to get it to stop. It's more like Reese realized that he was trying to scare someone who intentionally goes up against people who are way scarier.
@@goalsquad8400 Well, Gotham, specifically. Gotham is cursed, it pushes people to extremes. People blame Batman, but no, this was done WAY long ago. If a person actually does their research on the history of Gotham, they'll start to understand why it got so bad. Batman was just a guy who started fighting back against it, inspiring others to do so as well. Batman cleaned up the town, and the only ones who remain are the really corrupted, in body and mind. When you finally understand Gotham, you'll finally throw away that silly notion of "Batman is to blame," because this evil has always been there.
Everyone knows how awesome Alfred is at having Bruce's back as Batman, but Lucius Fox is right there with him. I remember playing the Arkham Asylum game and getting frustrated at why couldn't Batman's scanner open these stupid electronic locks...right up until I saw in the description that they were designed by Lucius Fox. At that point I simply went "fair enough, not getting through this" and went on with my life.
Look: when TDK was over, everyone was celebrating it. Of course guesses started spreading. And for those random ideas to center around The Riddler being the villain in third movie, was I think a logical fan-theory. And it was also clever of Nolan to officially deny it, even before he would've announced to actual villains. "There will be no Mr. Freeze, and no Riddler." That was an intelligent way to build the hype for a third CHris Nolan-Batman-movie without Heath Ledger.
Was a dumbass theory to begin with, didn't buy it at all. Almost as dumb as the idiot who thought that the twins in Matrix Reloaded was one guy who was able two create two entities when he is in the Matrix.
It was a sideways reference, one of the bigger ones. TDK Trilogy is full of little easter eggs like that, many of them just short one-liners that you'll miss if you're not looking for them. Two-Face (eventually happened), Catwoman (eventually happened), The Calculator, Killer Croc, Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya (the corrupted cops in TDK), the Riddler here, Robin, possibly even Mr. Freeze, all got little snippets thrown in for them throughout the trilogy.
While of course Morgan Freeman is awesome, I think the guy playing Coleman Reese really sells the scene. (Joshua Harto) Watch his face completely change from arrogant to terrified in reaction to Lucius' little speech. He has no other line until "keep that", which he delivers with a nice deflated thud. That is some fine acting.
+Jon Vokins idk but i think it's been said before that this character was a wink to the riddler (edward nigma), you know how they got down those narcissistic and arrogant features that coleman reese has, but also the way they got down how he would be terrified and scared once batman got his hands on him XD (mr. reese..... mysteries :D)
Morgran Freeman is great as always but this other actor does an amazing job also. The satisfaction in watching this scene depends heavily upon seeing the guy go from the heights of smugness to needing to change his pants in a matter of seconds. And this actor totally sells it.
Definitely must have been questions about Wayne Enterprises funding Batman, but I doubt anyone would think it was Bruce Wayne. They'd think it was some government contract, that Batman is a government agent.
This is just about the best moment in the entire Nolan Batman trilogy. All the action and drama and what have you is exciting, but this quiet little moment stands out as one of the better judo throws in modern cinema. :D
No the best one was when Bruce Wayne fired the CEO during the board meeting he thought was convened to break up the company when in fact all the companies that bought the pieces were owned Bruce Wayne. Epic!
No, I would say it is easily topped when after the Joker puts out a hit on this guy and Bruce saves his life whilst playing dumb about his intentions to the cops. As he is being escorted away, he sees it was Bruce who saved him despite knowing how he was about to reveal Bruce secret identity.
The whole trilogy is absolutely riddled with moments like these, all fantastic and iconic. - Jokers “Why so serious?” - Joker’s conversation with Harvey and the famous improv with the detonator -Joker’s manipulation of the cop for his phone call -Bane’s “Do you feel in charge?” -Unveiling of Gotham PD statue Even the little nod between Alfred and Bruce when it was all over. This trilogy forged the standard to which all other DC movies are compared to
Lucius pulls out a calculator and punches in some equations. He pulls out checkbook and writes on a check. He removes the check from the checkbook, and hands it to Mr. Reese. Mr. Reese reads the amount on the check *$27,400.00* Lucius Fox: *By mycalculations, that gives you about 24 hours.* Mr. Reese gulps in fear and hurries out of the office.
Such a well-acted scene by both men. I really appreciate Freeman's subtle change in demeanor from slightly concerned to the smirk knowing he can handle Reese.
What I loved most about this scene other than Morgan Freeman's reply to Reese is the transition both of them had. Reese comes in so confident and smug while Freeman is taken back of this finding only for it to turn into Reese being taken back and Freeman going confident and smug right back. I absolutely loved Freeman's reply here.
At 0:40 , Reese : What’re you building for him now ? A rocket ship ? Fox : Correct . with autopilot . it’s called the Bat . To let him fly away with a nuclear bomb in the next movie
Indeed. Because the subtext is: "Do you not realise how implausible and ridiculous the notion is? And even if it were true...is this really a good idea?"
Blackmail is so old school Nowadays its more likely someone would anonymously out Batman and then sit there watching the media fallout while jacking off
Morgan Freeman is pure gold in any role he plays. The dude can make you laugh out loud in Bruce Almighty, he can make you think you'll be l die by his hand simply by him saying to you, "Good luck." He's just awesome.
Just because you're smart, doesn't mean you can't be stupid. Edit: Since this comment got a lot of attention, here's a fun fact for you guys. A lot of people have compared Coleman Reese to being a reference to the Riddler. Lucius Fox calls him Mr Reese - or Mysteries. The Riddler is always thwarted by the Batman because he's always so sure that he's smart, so obsessed with being right, that he trips up in stupid, obvious ways. Another reason for my comment. Another thing: the Riddler is one of the very few people who figure out the Batman's secret identity, but never reveals it. Stay safe you guys!
I remember when I first saw this, and I thought it was such a smart, simple and elegant answer to “why doesn’t anybody in Wayne Enterprises finds out he is Batman and tell on him or blackmail him for it?”
Actually everybody knows it for a long time but Wayne Enterprises pays well, have great dental plan and others tought about it and realised just what Mr. Fox just said so they went back to work...
@@jeremywhitfield4556 It is a terrible film. A handful of bad/miscast actors in main roles, Nolan should not have cast the French lady as Talia, Anne Hathaway was not a good fit for Catwoman (whose plotline withers and dies early one but she's still a main focus in the film) several different plotlines mashed together in a unsatisfactory way and has a terrible ending.
+betatalk357 Yeah, the only good thing he can possibly take from this is knowing that his punk ass just got burned by none other than the golden voice of Morgan Freeman. Now THAT'S the way to go.
I remember this is the first comic book movie where the side characters performances really stood out. Freeman and the guy who plays Reese really do a great job.
Batman isn't the only one who knows how to use fear as a tool , his allies are just as terrifying . Also the fun fact Lucius didn't even had to use a fake terrifying voice likes Bruce , he just showed that a calm demeanor with the right words and a smile at the end can be just as terrifying as the real Batman's methods.
Often the secret to being really successful is hiring (and retaining) the right people around you. Having Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyworth in his employ was virtually PRICELESS in accomplishing his aims. He literally could not become The Batman without these two men. And I might add, older, experienced men.
I mean to have a butler who's former British military/intelligence and a colleague who runs the entire Applied Sciences department of your family's multi-billion dollar company.
Lucius Fox was a close friend of Thomas Wayne and a capable businessman in his own right, when Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, young Bruce Wayne found himself with ALOT on his plate to deal with. He hand-picked Lucius Fox to be CEO of Wayne Enterprises and it is easily one of the best decisions he ever made. Lucius is very underrated and I'm glad they gave him some respect here.
Bruce can't even become an adult without Alfred. :3 Actually, without Alfred taking care of what a functional adult usually do (cleaning, cooking, etc), Bruce is much like a rich geek who actualized his nightmare.
I like it when directors make the effort to address potential plot holes. Viewers will always ask themselves these kinds of questions, and Nolan answers one of them with a really funny scene.
This is a brilliant scene - both teasing at the danger of Batman's identity being revealed, and at the thoughtlessness of the man attempting to reveal it.
Everyone's praising Morgan freeman's acting in this (and its very well deserved praise) but I'd like to point out that the guy who played mister Reese did a really good job as well
A perfect job! It was brilliant acting. Going from exultation through that crumbling smugness, to utter bone~crunching embarrassment...they ought to have mini~Oscars for things like this. That's a good idea, actually...I would watch it

Emilio Estrada Actually he fits the profile a lot more than just wealth. He’s very physically fit, white, the right height, has a motivation (the loss of his parents) and has adopted children around the time of the robins if we want to add comics to the Nolan films.
@@andreponniah9900in batman begins. Ra Al Ghul burned down Wayne Manor. In Batman Forever, Riddler tore down the batcave so it's not like they don't know what to do next
I love how Lucians face and eyes was just like "oh shit this guys could actually cause us some trouble" at 0:39 and then at 0:46 he's just like "nvm this guys a dumbass"
His eyes got like that because he didn’t know about the cell phone project and was caught off guard for a moment, but then he realized Batman is doing something on his own without consulting with him first.
Like getting engineered collisions imposed upon you by corrupt federal law enforcement and intelligence community personnel at 0:39 and then at 0:46 you explain to the opposing force that if anyone hits you, and I mean f-cking anyone, that you'll regard it as an attempt at vehicular homicide and defend yourself with deadly force, practicing what the FBI preaches. Which is to shoot them to the ground. Continue servicing the target until they are laying in the ground and they have stopped moving. Which is really hard for them to do if they're seatbelted into a car.
(0:48) *_"Let me get this straight..._** ~* This scene is the epitome of the Life Lesson of, *_"It sounded better in my head.",_* that everyone should learn. *;D* Thanks for uploading this, *PumaProductionsZF.* :)
Actually, there's a great lesson learned by the way Freeman's Fox character handles this would-be blackmailer... Listen, keep icy cool, admit to nothing and let the other person discover their grave mistake by even coming to you with such "nonsense"! Gotta love it! :-).
He had everything right. If Fox had only break his expression for a second, Reese had him. But Fox kept his poker face intact and change the entire game
he didn't "kept" his expression. He was fearful at first. It was the nature of the challenge that gave him the upper hand. Reese wasn't neither a worldburner nor a truth crusader, if Reese just went for news and gave the evidence, shit woulded hitted the fan. He just wanted and easy win taking advantage of the situation, and thats EXACTLY the kind of people intimidated by Batman. If Reese didn't blackmailed him, there wouldn't been anything Lucius coulded done.
And it blinded him from realizing that his ambitions were too high. I should've presented himself as an ally of the Bat. Someone who could cover up the numbers. All for the price of a modest raise and the favor of both Batman and Bruce Wayne.
I can not be the only one who thinks Morgan freeman just killed it with this line and got the point across without directly stating "So you're going to blackmail him which is a crime and puts you on his list?" Beautiful.
No, he's informing butterball here that he's fucking with someone who not only is arbitrarily rich on a level more commonly associated with countries, but also has a personal hobby of beating the stupid out of criminals non-lethally and getting away with it.
What Freeman told him is that he is blackmailing someone who could destroy him both legally (with his billionaire position) and physically (with his alter ego). Freeman did not make it look absurd, he blackmailed him in return.

"Spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands" eye opener for that guy. Seeing how he was going to be a criminal for blackmailing Bruce. Too funny.
Finally someone gets it. Jesus
Technically it’s not “with bare hands” he’s wearing armor plated gloves. But I’m sure his actual bare punches are still very effective
Given how Bruce is himself a criminal for his actions? His interrogation of Flass by yo-yoing him would've been ruled as inadmissible due to Flass being under duress and would say anything to get it to stop.
It's more like Reese realized that he was trying to scare someone who intentionally goes up against people who are way scarier.
@@blackjac5000 the whole point of batman is that the legal system was corrupted ad couldn't be relied on, so he took it into his own hands
@@goalsquad8400 Well, Gotham, specifically. Gotham is cursed, it pushes people to extremes. People blame Batman, but no, this was done WAY long ago. If a person actually does their research on the history of Gotham, they'll start to understand why it got so bad. Batman was just a guy who started fighting back against it, inspiring others to do so as well. Batman cleaned up the town, and the only ones who remain are the really corrupted, in body and mind.
When you finally understand Gotham, you'll finally throw away that silly notion of "Batman is to blame," because this evil has always been there.
This is why people don't "find out" batman is Bruce Wayne.
Everyone knows how awesome Alfred is at having Bruce's back as Batman, but Lucius Fox is right there with him. I remember playing the Arkham Asylum game and getting frustrated at why couldn't Batman's scanner open these stupid electronic locks...right up until I saw in the description that they were designed by Lucius Fox. At that point I simply went "fair enough, not getting through this" and went on with my life.
The joke in Gotham is that everyone in Gotham, except Gordon, bless his heart, knows that Bruce Wayne is the Batman but no one wants to say it.
Whats your thumbnail Annie Frank?
And the joker doesn’t wanna lose his favorite nemesis too lol 😂
Why would a billionaire waste his time wearing a costume punching criminals at night?
Remember when everyone thought this guy was going to be The Riddler?
"Mr. Reese"
"Mysteries"
Look: when TDK was over, everyone was celebrating it. Of course guesses started spreading. And for those random ideas to center around The Riddler being the villain in third movie, was I think a logical fan-theory. And it was also clever of Nolan to officially deny it, even before he would've announced to actual villains. "There will be no Mr. Freeze, and no Riddler." That was an intelligent way to build the hype for a third CHris Nolan-Batman-movie without Heath Ledger.
Was a dumbass theory to begin with, didn't buy it at all. Almost as dumb as the idiot who thought that the twins in Matrix Reloaded was one guy who was able two create two entities when he is in the Matrix.
Everyone?
It was a sideways reference, one of the bigger ones. TDK Trilogy is full of little easter eggs like that, many of them just short one-liners that you'll miss if you're not looking for them. Two-Face (eventually happened), Catwoman (eventually happened), The Calculator, Killer Croc, Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya (the corrupted cops in TDK), the Riddler here, Robin, possibly even Mr. Freeze, all got little snippets thrown in for them throughout the trilogy.

While of course Morgan Freeman is awesome, I think the guy playing Coleman Reese really sells the scene. (Joshua Harto) Watch his face completely change from arrogant to terrified in reaction to Lucius' little speech. He has no other line until "keep that", which he delivers with a nice deflated thud. That is some fine acting.
I was just going to write something similar to this but you beat me to it! :)
Aye indeed it was superb!
+Jon Vokins idk but i think it's been said before that this character was a wink to the riddler (edward nigma), you know how they got down those narcissistic and arrogant features that coleman reese has, but also the way they got down how he would be terrified and scared once batman got his hands on him XD (mr. reese..... mysteries :D)
***** It's already a given that Morgan is a great actor.
also in TDKR when daggatt's body language completely changes when bane puts his hand on his shoulder
Morgran Freeman is great as always but this other actor does an amazing job also. The satisfaction in watching this scene depends heavily upon seeing the guy go from the heights of smugness to needing to change his pants in a matter of seconds. And this actor totally sells it.

This is just about the best moment in the entire Nolan Batman trilogy. All the action and drama and what have you is exciting, but this quiet little moment stands out as one of the better judo throws in modern cinema. :D
Additionally; after Bruce Wayne rescues him from an angry mob, he just gives him a nod like “I got your back”
No the best one was when Bruce Wayne fired the CEO during the board meeting he thought was convened to break up the company when in fact all the companies that bought the pieces were owned Bruce Wayne. Epic!
No, I would say it is easily topped when after the Joker puts out a hit on this guy and Bruce saves his life whilst playing dumb about his intentions to the cops. As he is being escorted away, he sees it was Bruce who saved him despite knowing how he was about to reveal Bruce secret identity.
The whole trilogy is absolutely riddled with moments like these, all fantastic and iconic.
- Jokers “Why so serious?”
- Joker’s conversation with Harvey and the famous improv with the detonator
-Joker’s manipulation of the cop for his phone call
-Bane’s “Do you feel in charge?”
-Unveiling of Gotham PD statue
Even the little nod between Alfred and Bruce when it was all over. This trilogy forged the standard to which all other DC movies are compared to
This to me is like the vigo's OH! moment from John Wick.
"I want $10 Million a year for the rest of my life."

Such a well-acted scene by both men. I really appreciate Freeman's subtle change in demeanor from slightly concerned to the smirk knowing he can handle Reese.
What I loved most about this scene other than Morgan Freeman's reply to Reese is the transition both of them had. Reese comes in so confident and smug while Freeman is taken back of this finding only for it to turn into Reese being taken back and Freeman going confident and smug right back. I absolutely loved Freeman's reply here.
At 0:40 , Reese : What’re you building for him now ? A rocket ship ?
Fox : Correct . with autopilot . it’s called the Bat . To let him fly away with a nuclear bomb in the next movie

This scene addresses how everyone always says things like: "if this was real life, people would easily find out who Batman is"

Morgan Freeman is pure gold in any role he plays. The dude can make you laugh out loud in Bruce Almighty, he can make you think you'll be l die by his hand simply by him saying to you, "Good luck."
He's just awesome.
Just because you're smart, doesn't mean you can't be stupid.
Edit: Since this comment got a lot of attention, here's a fun fact for you guys. A lot of people have compared Coleman Reese to being a reference to the Riddler. Lucius Fox calls him Mr Reese - or Mysteries. The Riddler is always thwarted by the Batman because he's always so sure that he's smart, so obsessed with being right, that he trips up in stupid, obvious ways. Another reason for my comment.
Another thing: the Riddler is one of the very few people who figure out the Batman's secret identity, but never reveals it. Stay safe you guys!
Enough said
Or can't be dead.
Well, Reese wasn't being stupid. Stupidity is a warped insult, not a real analysis of intelligence.
Not bad
Maybe not stupid, but certainly lacking in common sense and planning.
Props to the actor, his face actually translates the slow and painful realization of how stupid his plan was.
You can just see it on his face: "Damn, I did not think this through..."
the look of sudden realisation + a hint of shitting his own pants. LOL
I remember when I first saw this, and I thought it was such a smart, simple and elegant answer to “why doesn’t anybody in Wayne Enterprises finds out he is Batman and tell on him or blackmail him for it?”
Actually everybody knows it for a long time but Wayne Enterprises pays well, have great dental plan and others tought about it and realised just what Mr. Fox just said so they went back to work...
The joy on Lucius’s face as he gives that line is just perfect.
christopher nolan and his directing crew really wrote a good trilogy. the dialogue was 11/10. dont forget the alfred story about the bandit.

I remember this is the first comic book movie where the side characters performances really stood out. Freeman and the guy who plays Reese really do a great job.
Every single one. Caine, Gyllenhaal, Freeman, the guy that played Lau. Strong acting, not just another cash grab in an action movie.
You cant expect a bad acting from Caine and Freeman
Ummm, what about Raimi movies? They had pretty damm awesome side characters
If you have Morgan Freeman in the movie as a side character, then he is no longer just a side character
the first DC's comic book movie
is constantine and was played by constantine.
the second is batman begins.
the third is v for vendetta.
Batman isn't the only one who knows how to use fear as a tool , his allies are just as terrifying . Also the fun fact Lucius didn't even had to use a fake terrifying voice likes Bruce , he just showed that a calm demeanor with the right words and a smile at the end can be just as terrifying as the real Batman's methods.
Often the secret to being really successful is hiring (and retaining) the right people around you.
Having Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyworth in his employ was virtually PRICELESS in accomplishing his aims. He literally could not become The Batman without these two men. And I might add, older, experienced men.
I mean to have a butler who's former British military/intelligence and a colleague who runs the entire Applied Sciences department of your family's multi-billion dollar company.
Lucius Fox was a close friend of Thomas Wayne and a capable businessman in his own right, when Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered, young Bruce Wayne found himself with ALOT on his plate to deal with. He hand-picked Lucius Fox to be CEO of Wayne Enterprises and it is easily one of the best decisions he ever made. Lucius is very underrated and I'm glad they gave him some respect here.
@@sirreepicheeprules7443 william earle did make wayne enterprise rich after thomas died but he was saving it for himself
Bruce can't even become an adult without Alfred. :3
Actually, without Alfred taking care of what a functional adult usually do (cleaning, cooking, etc), Bruce is much like a rich geek who actualized his nightmare.

I like it when directors make the effort to address potential plot holes. Viewers will always ask themselves these kinds of questions, and Nolan answers one of them with a really funny scene.
This is a brilliant scene - both teasing at the danger of Batman's identity being revealed, and at the thoughtlessness of the man attempting to reveal it.
Everyone's praising Morgan freeman's acting in this (and its very well deserved praise) but I'd like to point out that the guy who played mister Reese did a really good job as well
A perfect job! It was brilliant acting. Going from exultation through that crumbling smugness, to utter bone~crunching embarrassment...they ought to have mini~Oscars for things like this.
That's a good idea, actually...I would watch it
Yes, but people don't usually give credit for those sort of weaselly performances. Which is a shame because they also take skill to pull off.
Guy runs the gamut from arrogant to utterly crushed quite nicely
Acting is like a dance. You may look good dancing alone but its better when you have a good partner.
Thank you so much for pointing this out

The sheer dumbfounded look on his face says “oh god this isn’t the right kind of people I should blackmail” makes me smile
And that's why nobody believes Bruce Wayne is Batman. The complete absurdity of the premise alone is enough of an alibi.
This is more about why someone would be afraid to come forward, or try blackmail. Figuring it out is one thing, but knowing what to do next is another
That's why it's so funny. It honestly makes perfect sense but it's also completely ridiculous at the same time.

That's why witnesses don't testify in gang murders. They think it all the way thru. Because the defendant has a whole gang that can retaliate.

He had everything right. If Fox had only break his expression for a second, Reese had him.
But Fox kept his poker face intact and change the entire game
he didn't "kept" his expression. He was fearful at first. It was the nature of the challenge that gave him the upper hand. Reese wasn't neither a worldburner nor a truth crusader, if Reese just went for news and gave the evidence, shit woulded hitted the fan.

That's a whole new level of "You haven't really thought this through, have you?"
Clearly, he didn't think it through. Greed is a hell of a drug.
And it blinded him from realizing that his ambitions were too high. I should've presented himself as an ally of the Bat.

He’s telling the truth in a way that makes it so absurd that it fooled the kid. Great scene.
He's straight up tell him that batman beats up criminals and blackmail is a crime.
No, he's informing butterball here that he's fucking with someone who not only is arbitrarily rich on a level more commonly associated with countries, but also has a personal hobby of beating the stupid out of criminals non-lethally and getting away with it.
The brilliance is how we as the spectator recognize how matter of fact Lucius is in those moments. Magnificent cinema.
What Freeman told him is that he is blackmailing someone who could destroy him both legally (with his billionaire position) and physically (with his alter ego).
Freeman did not make it look absurd, he blackmailed him in return.
