Someone sent me this clip the other day, and I thought it was worth a quick post. Did you remember that Prince Joffrey from Game of Thrones (Irish actor Jack Gleeson) had a super-brief cameo in Chris Nolan’s first batman movie, Batman Begins? He shows up cowering behind Katie Holmes like the little booger-faced milk baby he is, saying “Batman will save us,” and sure enough, Batman swoops down from the rafters to take down a bad guy before running off, missing a golden opportunity to slap the sh*t out of the little turd in the process. Dinklage 1; Batman 0.
By the way, I’ve always wanted to deliver some overwrought line to a broad, then swan dive off her balcony like a boss. That’s going on my bucket list. “Always remember… lefty loosey… righty tighty.” (*kite surfs back into the night*)
-Thanks to Christian for the tip.

“Always remember… lefty loosey… righty tighty.”
and this Timmy is why we don’t sleep with chicks at a liberal arts school.
I always remember him as answering the door at Gordon’s house too, but I’ve been told I’m wrong. I can’t confirm or deny my wrong-ness, having not rewatched the movie in awhile.
Sorry, youre wrong.
Joffrey also shows up earlier in the film. Batman’s climbing a building in The Narrows, doing some snooping, and this kid walks out onto the balcony. He sees Batman, then gets all sad and whiny and says something to the effect of, “They’ll never believe I saw you”, so Batman throws him one of his gadgets.
Looking back, I wish Batman had slapped him, Tyrion-style, and told him to harden up.
Why didnt Flass shoot him in the face? Stupid Rachel Dawes. GLAD SHE DIED.
I just realized that little prick was in it on the ba;cony scene when i saw BB last week during one of the 500 screenings on FX. He says to Batman no one will believe him that he saw him and Batman just throws him a $20,000 dollar tool he was using. Hey 20Gs is no sweat off Batmans balls.
*balcony
Actually when R. John Blake was first introduced in TDKR, I thought he might have been that kid, due to Blake’s oddly inexplicable confidence in Batman. If that kid was 10 years old at the time of Batman Begins, he would be about 19 during the events of TDKR, which kind of makes sense for a hot-headed rookie cop right out of the academy.
The same thought crossed my mind as well.
Dammit, Batman, think of all the trouble you could’ve saved Westeros.
Way to pull a Ned Stark, bro.
That’s King Joffrey, Mancini! Show some respect!
* gets bitch-slapped by Tyrion *
Nevermind.
And Little Finger shows up as the CIA (?) guy at the beginning of DKR!
Sadly, I could not find any GoT actors in TDK. Unless I missed one?
Well struck, Dog!
*does handstand on the Monster at Fenway*
Hey Sully! TWO IN THE GOO, ONE IN THE POO!
*falls to death*
Did that little fucker ever pay his debt to Batman or what?
I never realized this before, great find and thanks for posting! Just like in GoT, he’s always hiding and cowering behind someone else hopings someone will save him. Joffrey, you’re a turd lol.
Batman should’ve let the prick die
Didn’t one of the League of Shadows guys push him away with their hand to his face, not quite a slap, but a proto-slap.
Yup. [www.uproxx.com]
I have never noticed this before but I think the bald convict looks A WHOLE LOT like a bald, wild eyed Christian Bale.

Yeah, and the li’l prisoner in TDKR was Ramona from Ramona and Beezus.
..somebody told me because I definitely don’t like watch Selena Gomez movies or anything that would be silly why do you ask?
King Joffrey*
Dude, he’s not the rightful king. He’s not even a true Baratheon, since he was sired by two Lannister siblings and not the king. Did Ned Stark’s death mean nothing to you?
Sept of Baelor
NEVA 4GET
I sing my songs like a pretty little bird
De facto King is still King. Once half the kingdom declared fealty to him his lineage became a non-issue.
Don’t forget the epic music that you need blasting as you make that swan dive.
I was watching the batman begins reruns on FX last week when I saw the scene where he sees Batman on a ledge and went batshit(NPI) when I noticed it was that little shit!
Okay, I haven’t yet had my pre-DKR Nolan Batman marathon yet, so I must ask – is that gurgle seriously his old Batman voice? How did anyone take him seriously?
