About

Somebody get this hothead outta here! is a memorable quote uttered by police commissioner Peter Foley when addressing the character of John Blake in a scene from 2012 blockbuster movie Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. Online, proponents of the Baneposting meme began abusing the phrase as a way of calling out critics of the meme on message boards, specifically referring to them as "hotheads".

Origin

In 2012 film Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, after a foot chase, commissioner James Gordon (played by Gary Oldman) becames trapped down the sewers of Gotham City because of an explosion, leading to a scene where police officer John Blake (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) pleads for his colleagues to go and help Gordon, to which commissioner Peter Foley (played by Matthew Modine) promptly retorts "Someone get this hothead outta here". The scene was uploaded to YouTube on May 2nd 2014 (shown below).

As early as October 1st 2012, a 4chan user on the /m/ (mecha) board used the phrase "Would somebody get this hot head out of here!" as a reply to another user^[1]. Then, on November 21st, 2012, another user reused "SOMEBODY GET THAT HOTHEAD OUTTA HERE" as a response towards a user who tried to debunk the misinterpreted dialogue behind the Baneposting meme^[2], in a /tv/ (television & films) thread itself referencing the Bravo Nolan meme.
