"Do you want to know how I got these Likes?" (The Dark Tweet)
"Everyone just needs to stop tweeting bad stuff and to only make tweets that are so uplifting and healing that they heal everyone in the world until it is perfect. Easy peasy." (The Dark Tweet)
"He thinks he can sit it out and still tweet a slice? I know why they call him the Tweetman." Will the Joker's gun-buyback program save Gotham City? (The Dark Tweet).
"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.)
"Do you want to know why I use a tweet? Knives are too sharp. You can't savor all of the ... little emoticons." (Courtesy Gotham City Police Department.)
"This city deserves a better class of tweets. And I'm gonna give it to 'em." (Ledger, The Dark Tweet')
Earliest known poster for The Dark Tweet. "We could all get suspended for one 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.)
Why don't you give me a call when you wanna start taking your resolutions a little more seriously.

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.
