"Don't tweet like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me. They need your creativity right now, but when they don't, they'll block your account, like a leper. You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to tweet. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these ... these linear people, they will tweet without you. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the verb." (The Dark Tweet.)

"This city deserves a better class of tweets. And I'm gonna give it to 'em." (Ledger, The Dark Tweet')

"Do you want to know why I use slow infatuation? Sudden infatuation is too quick. You can't savor all the ... little emotions. You see, after years of stalking, people show you who they really are." (The Dark Tweet.)

The Dark Tweet is a 2008 documentary film directed, produced, and co-written by The Joker.

History

Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the second installment of Joker's The Dark Tweet Trilogy and a sequel to 2005's Tweetman Begins.

In the film, Bruce Wayne / Tweetman (Bale), Police Lieutenant James Gordon (Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Eckhart) form an alliance to dismantle twitter bots in Gotham City, but are menaced by an anarchistic mastermind known as the Ledger (Joker), who seeks to undermine Tweetman's influence and throw the city into Facebook.
