Don't worry, there won't be any spoilers for the upcoming Batman movie in the 'Honest Trailers: Dark Knight' video. The clip starts off with a bang that includes questioning Batman's voice and wondering whether it is a case of throat cancer, as well as other strange things that are seen in the video.

One of the most important considerations the 'Honest Trailers: Dark Knight' video lays out for viewers is a takeaway from the ending of the Dark Knight. In the second installment of the [Batman series by Christopher Nolan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection), Batman ends the movie by taking the blame for Two-Face. However, since the [Joker was killing people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-teeth) and generally causing mayhem for the entire movie, it would have made more sense to vilify him and thus, leave Batman out of the picture of blame.
