Hey, sorry if this has been discussed already or anything but I had a question about the end of Batman Begins and the beginning of The Dark Knight. I don't remember them saying anything about how much time has passed between the movies, but at the end of Batman Begins, Gordon says "armed robbery, double homicide" in reference to the Joker. I was wondering if this could be referring to the first scene of TDK, since I'm pretty sure he shoots two people and obviously robs the bank. If this is the case, then there is actually an overlap between the two movies. Which would be pretty sick.

We have to take into account the Gotham Knight anime, and the Batman novel Dead White, which are both set in the same continuity of the movies. So I would probably say about a year, or a year and a half.

Gary Oldman has been in many interviews saying there is a gap of 6/7 months between the end of Begins and the start of TDK. if it were less than that then it wouldn't be enough time for Batman to hone his skills as a crime-fighter, and if it were more than that, then we (and the citizens of Gotham) would start to wonder what the hell Batman was doing, sitting back and letting this criminal continue perpetrating his crimes.
6 months seems about right for my interpretation/understanding.

I would agree with that between 6-6.5 months, that is what I was thinking actually going into The Dark Knight, and coming out its about right.

I think that a year or even a year and half is way too long, I think that Wayne Manor would have been rebuilt in that amount of time, and Batman would have gone to Mr. Fox about a new suit before allowing that much time to pass... =)

When the Joker first speaks with the mob doesn't he actually say something to the effect of since the Batman started a year ago things have changed? To me it would signal approximately a year.

6/7 months? It has to be at least a year! it doesn't "have" to be at least a year. Joker's speech about "a year ago these cops and lawyers..." is just language, he isn't necessarily saying it's been exactly 1 year since the Batman appeared. he's just giving the example of how a year ago, the mob guys were untouchable, which could have been many months before Batman ever appeared, while Bruce was still away. it's more comfortable dialogue for him to say "a year ago..." rather than "7 months ago...".
