After four days in the hospital, Martin was discharged and returned to the set to continue filming the final few action scenes of Batman's showdown with the Joker.
Meanwhile, the rest of the crew had been busy, and all the other scenes had already been shot.
In the pitch-dark studio, the figures of the Joker and Batman intertwined, grappling with each other.
In this installment, Batman could be considered the weakest in terms of combat ability.
Ultimately, the Joker was subdued by Batman, who chose not to kill him but handed him over to the Gotham police for legal judgment.
Though the movie's storyline doesn't spell it out, anyone familiar with Gotham knows that the Joker would surely be sent to the legendary Arkham.
With Director Nolan announcing this cut as a keeper, all scenes of The Dark Knight were finally wrapped up.
There was no fanfare, no cheering; months of intensive work, coupled with the mess Bale created, left the crew without the desire to celebrate.
