- I agree that this how it was supposed to happen. However, watching the
- tape carefully, I cannot see how it could actually happen:
-
- (1) Two-face put the coin in a LOWER outside jacket pocket. Batman
- grabs the upper part of Two-face's coat. His hands never get near
- the pocket in question.
-
- (2) Two-face flips the coin in his RIGHT hand and puts it in his
- RIGHT pocket. Batman would have to get it with his LEFT hand since
- the two were facing each other. However, Batman is later shown
- using the coin in the RIGHT hand to cut the rope.
-
- So all told, Batman had to grab the coin in his left hand even though
- it got nowhere near the pocket. He then, while being knocked on the
- head and manhandled by the goons, he had to transfer the coin to his
- right hand and hold on to it while being tied to the big coin. and no,
- his hands never cross over such that he could have picked the left
- pocket with his left hand.
-
- This actually makes as much sense as the large coin flying several
- hundred feet through the air, Batman launching himself lightly from
- the coin, and landing back on the fork-lift to kick Two-face. Sorry.
-
- Actually, despite all of this and the other flaws, I still loved this
- episode.
