I Batman (1989), hur saknade alla Batwings skott och missiler Joker när han stod stilla?

I filmens novellering är det lite tydligare att en stor mängd ammunition som Batman sparkade inte riktigt mot Joker alls, de riktades mot flottorna och allt annat som såg hinkigt ut. Bara kulorna verkar ha riktats mot honom, och de var uppenbarligen bortkopplade av hans ojämna dans:

Bullets, lasers, and missiles screamed down on Broad Avenue, all taking out their assigned targets. Batman wanted to make sure the Joker didn’t have any more surprises hiding in any of his floats or other equipment. So the equipment had to be obliterated.

In the middle of all the destruction, he saw the Joker doing the waltz. Everything had missed him. So far.

All right! He was having fun now.

Things were exploding all over the place. There went a float, here a truck—oops! a building got it that time — bad shot.

Skriptet 1988 versionen handlar enkelt över sin överlevnad som ingenting mirakulös

Batman OPENS UP with everything, and we see the GATLING, MISSILES and LASER EXPLODE INTO ACTION.

EXT. ANGLE ON JOKER - MOMENT LATER

A rocket, bullets, and the laser beam SMASH into the street, all around the Joker. He leaps, LAUGHING, into the air and, miraculously, avoids being hit.

Som en sido är det värt att notera att Joker var i det ursprungliga ( 1986 versionen ) skriptet en tank under denna sekvens.

EXT. BROAD AVENUE - ON BATWING

The black ultralight hurtles down Broad Avenue at full speed, on a suicide mission. MISSILES streak past on either side. MACHINE GUN FIRE peppers the dome of the cockpit. The REAR STABILIZER WING takes a direct hit... and BURSTS INTO FLAME!

The BATWING, trailing thick black smoke, bears down on the tank like a kamikaze plane. BOMB BAYS OPEN as BATMAN dumps the last of his high explosives DIRECTLY INTO THE PATH OF THE TANK. The BATWING takes a hard bounce off the top of the tank and CRASHES TO THE STREET.
