absolutely brilliant.

i didn't think they have the guts to portray the joker as he truly is. the movie is almost flawless.

it was 10x better than batman begins.

Anyone hear rumors or anything of what the next one is going to be about?

Overall, really happy with the film, stood up to the hype!

Honesltly, I am saddened that Heath could not be here to see what a masterful job he has done.

there was absolutely nothing in this movie i would have changed, nothing cheesy or gimmicky. this is not just a sequel to make money, it was a movie for the fans. heaths portrayal is absolutely terrifying, second to none. i really feel that nobody could have pulled that roll off better. the underlying story and motives for the characters really drives the story and lets you feel what they're feeling, to almost know what bruce is going through. great writing, great direction, flawless execution. deff the movie of the year.

I laugh when people tout the fuel economy of a turbo engine. While it is true that it would be more economical off boost as it is basically a low compression NA motor at that moment, who the heck can stay out of the boost? That's like having a hot girlfreind and just having meaninful conversation.

I read a review a few months ago where they cut out the scene where the joker dies because some people in the audience couldnt handle it

what a bunch of pansies

Rest In Peace Matt Garcia. Passed away September 2, 2008

Are they gonna do the same thing they did with the chick and just randomly throw in another actor? Or just kinda ditch the Joker?

you missread.

nothing was cut. nothing was added. no stand in actor's. nothing.

it was discussed, then dismissed.

in the end, warner bros. along with some other big names (christian bale included) felt it would be an insult to ledger to omit any of his work.

the joker's "death" scene is in the movie. if you've seen the movie, think about it.

i don't want to give anything away.

That movie was absolutely brilliant. Amazing direction all around. The only thing I don't like is that the joker is still alive, but Heath is dead..... Are they gonna do the same thing they did with the chick and just randomly throw in another actor? Or just kinda ditch the Joker?

thanks for spoiling it.....

Tom, some dudes are persistent. Some other dudes are desperate. But you, sir, are a new breed entirely. If they ever make a movie of your life, David Duchovny will be the only guy who could stand to play you.

Thanks clowns.

yeah.

i was wondering how long it was going to be before someone mentioned two-face.

can a mod add "w/SPOILERS" to the thread title?

I have heard rumors of the Joker coming back in the next film, but that just doesn't seem right.

Alot of people arent aware of anything in the Batman world that they didnt see in Batman Begins hah.

How could they have killed the Joker in this film when the time period of the Dark Knight predates the original Batman in which the Joker appears?

This movie was phenominal!!

I heard about Oscar buzz regarding Heath Ledger and thought...bahhh whateva, it's just because the dude is dead. But then I saw it... that was an unbelievable performance and definitlet Oscar worthy.

Two thumbs WAYYYYY up for this movie!!

It's called a retconn. Sort of like what Episodes II & III did with Boba Fett. The poster above me sums it up well.

Interesting, I didn't pick up on that, it's been years since I've seen the first. I had thought the two new installments were meant to be consistent with the first four.

In any case, the Dark Knight was an excellent movie. It had a great feel and look (even with Chicago as Gotham), in my opinion, it was far better than any of the first four, and Batman Begins, as well. There was nothing gimmicky or cheap, no real lulls in a long film and surprisingly good acting for an action flick. A movie worth seeing, for sure.

Websters called. This thread has caused them to recall all dictionaries as suck must now be redefined.

Heath ledger was just ****ing perfect in this movie. I love it. It's horrible that he had to go, but he left behind a CLASSIC.
Though, Batmans voice in this movie is just so much more hilarious than BB. Did he swallow a couple extra frogs this time? Seriously. I wouldn't be intimidated. I'd ask him if he wanted some halls or a ricola. clear that up for him a bit.

Definitely The best part of the movie. Along with the part where he blew up the hospital. *press press* *press* *WHAM* *runs* Heath ledger was just ****ing perfect in this movie. I love it.

Yea that was my favorite part to. Wondered why everyone in the movie though were trying so hard with the deep scary voices. Only joker was the realistic one talking like a normal scary person would. Awesome movie. I wish they didnt get rid of the batmobile though.... Means theres gonna be a new one!

NY Nico Meet^^

did anybody else almost die seeing the joker in a nurses uniform? lollerskates!!1!one!

**/SPOILER**

Spielberg? It was Tim Burton.

I missed the part where the Joker was killed? What happened?

"To a man with a hammer everything looks like a nail." -Mark Twain

The movie's pace and content were perfect. I kept thinking "man, there's no way they can wrap this all up in this movie..." but they did, and it NEVER felt tiring. It ended at the right time, on the right note...wrapped up perfectly. I also like a lot of the "getting out of the way" of some of Wayne's "constraints" (like Rachel). Now he's really free to be the horrible monster Batman has to be to serve his purpose. I LOVE the idea of the benevolent monster.

I like that they actually ENDED the major plotlines. No "two face survives to be the next villain" cliché, no "let's introduce a bunch of crap to get you interested and then end." The series could well end with this film and be fine. Certainly I'd like to see more Bale/Nolan Batman films, but it's SO REFRESHING to have a movie actually END instead of having a "sequel prep" ending.

Maggie Gyllenhaal ROCKS. Not only is she smokin' (oh, man, her halloween costume in Donnie Darko... ) but she's a HELL of a lot better actress than L. Katie Hubbard. I mean Katie Holmes. Her role was excellent and I'm glad to see they were willing to actually kill her off instead of "faking it" and then doing the "oh, she's really still alive" thing.

Ledger was fantastic as the Joker. Absolutely fantastic. I hate to say it, but he played the kind of villain I'd be if I was evil. He's nuts, enjoys being nuts, and enjoys enjoying being nuts. He's awesome. The perfect bad guy. He's just evil. That's all there is. He doesn't want anything, he's just a terrible horrible guy. You NEVER feel sorry for him, never sympathize with him, never want ANYTHING but to see him suffer like he made others suffer. THOSE are the villains that provide the best conflict, the most interesting scenarios.

I do have some nit-picks, so:
There were a few CGI sequences that just looked fake. Like the helicopter crash during the big car chase scene. The way it bounced and rolled looked terrible and the lighting on it was all wrong. It looked obviously CGI and in this movie there's no excuse for that.

Two-Face's face was overdone. Both in the damage and the animation. Seen from one side, his jaw movements were more exaggerated and at different angles than the other. His teeth didn't match up, either.

christopher nolan's batman series isnt cannon with the other batman movies, that should have been most evident in this movie. the original batman movie was the first meeting of batman and the joker too, but if they had stuck to the same story line it would have been a remake then wouldnt it? nolan is taking the series in a more realistic approach, where speilburg just went for the straight out of cartoon feel.

I thought it was pretty clear from the beginning that the Nolan movies are a new take on things, with NO RELATION to the old Burton movies or the abominations that followed. That's why the last one was "Batman BEGINS." New take on things. Yes, it's a remake. Pretend the old ones never happened.

Also, Spielberg never did any Batman movies.

Yeah, but he's not doing that to be intimidating. He's doing it to disguise his voice.
