Note Ledger's hexagonal shirt (hexagon gives the illusion of cubes, so more box symbolism + hexagram/seal of Solomon resonance, + Bee honeycomb resonance). Top poster he wears purple.
They crack the safe (locked compartment of the mind), which has a suitable 6 pointed star shape (so hexagon/hexagram) and also a circle with a point in the center (eye symbolism I've decided). Back at the main level, that dude from Prison Break starts opening fire with a shotgun, for some reason shooting through the window (wouldn't it make sense to get a clean shot?) leading to another shattered glass (shattered/fragmented mind) symbolic shot. He is put down and questions the morality of the robbers (have to say, the joker's insane anarchism is rather appealing) upon which Ledger removes his mask, only to reveal another one (ish), the now infamous insane-clown face-paint. As he does this, he perverts a nietzsche quote (what is it with MK victims quoting Nietzche? in movies) saying (after the PB dude asks "why?") "Whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... [removes mask] stranger." Just before this, a yellow school bus (with octagonal stop sign) crashes through the glass front door leading to another shattered glass shot, this is the vehicle he escapes in and then we are showed various clips from the rest of the movie (where the top shattered glass/light image comes from). According to one commenter in a new mammoth post (which by the way, his blog works as an excellent antidote to my depressing mind control analyses) by Jake Kotze over at the blob, the number 88 features a couple of times (see K2's comment). The number 8 can be considered symbolic of total control. (He died at 28 ((two 8's 88)) in the year 2008 (88), more Ledger synchness over at Dedroidify ((and countless others that I'd link to)))
G = 7 N = 14 B = 2 (=23) shattered glass.
Octagon = 8 You lose track of Ledger's yellow school bus as it is lost in the crowd of various other yellow buses.
Looking forward to seeing the rest, no doubt this mind control subtext goes on throughout the rest of the film. Will probably analyze the rest of the movie once a good DVD Rip comes out.
