I must say I was a little scared when they said Gordon was dead. It brought back my disgust of the major disappoint with Superman having a son. The Dark Knight is an excellent movie.Bozen's Bitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700627586727751284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369220268366947449.post-14051322169568506832008-07-19T06:01:00.000-04:002008-07-19T06:01:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bozen's Bitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700627586727751284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369220268366947449.post-39142298054140684472008-07-19T03:30:00.000-04:002008-07-19T03:30:00.000-04:00Ted: best comment ever.Ted: best comment ever.Dustin Harbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773952076286647203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369220268366947449.post-77675981003430270332008-07-19T00:04:00.000-04:002008-07-19T00:04:00.000-04:00Wow i just got back from the dark knight and was b...Wow i just got back from the dark knight and was blown away by the movie. When the joker would come onscreen the entire theater would just get super quiet and you could tell that everyone was hanging on every word that ledger would say. Superb acting by everyone, great script and a great director has me putting this in the top 5 superhero movies of all time! It has a couple of twists and turns that were unexpected, and also bruce wayne was so fleshed out in batman begins that he is really not a focal point at all, and that's a good thing because this movie is more about batman or rather that bruce wayne is batman and he has to accept that fact. Anyway if your a batman fan such as myself (all batman comics from issue #150 through last week, dvd's etc.) i promise you will not be let down by this movie.

For instance, the Joker seemed almost hyper-real--it didn't take a lot of suspension of disbelief to believe he's a psycho. On the other hand, with other stuff being so "real"--Batman himself always struck me as a little ridiculous when he would appear on screen, in his bat-head-thing and cape.Dustin Harbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773952076286647203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369220268366947449.post-8344082269716027942008-07-18T12:38:00.000-04:002008-07-18T12:38:00.000-04:00Man, I thought it'd be impossible to top Batman Be...Man, I thought it'd be impossible to top Batman Begins...but they did it!

Which does explain why it's so long.<BR/><BR/>And Vee, the first Watchmen trailer is running in front of Dark Knight, at least at the showing we went to. I also watched it again online at home. It does look sharp, and Zach Snyder did an awesome job with <B>300</B>, but I have to say I'm very trepidatious about him actually pulling this one off.Jason Wheatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963612884467776184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369220268366947449.post-78014590715846921612008-07-17T19:34:00.000-04:002008-07-17T19:34:00.000-04:00I'll have to come back and actually read this blog...I'll have to come back and actually read this blog post after I've actually seen the movie.

Gone are the inane elements from previous incarnations. Instead we see a character who we know little about (aside from his heinous actions) but can fully believe to be a real person. Yet as unbelievable as most comic films are (and rightly so), it seemed to me that this film succeeds largely due to the fact that it seems to earnestly try to portray what might actually happen if a crazy person dressed up like a bat in the name good intentions. More accurately, the film deals with the societal ramifications that such an act of vigilantism might inspire. As with "Iron Man," this film goes to show that when studios hire good writers, directors and actors, they can actually make quality films based on comics.Seth Peaglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806292374068671954noreply@blogger.com
