The Dark Knight fucking RULED!!! (no spoilers)
I went to a midnight screening at the drive-in tonight. I won't spoil it for anybody, but in my opinion it's the best comic book-based movie EVER!!!!
I knew Heath Ledger was going to be good, but he blew me away. His portryal of the Joker was one of the finest movie performances I've ever seen.
From start to finish this movie was amazing and, as good as Batman Begins was, this blew it away. This was leaps and bounds above Batman Begins.

Just got back and it was awesome. The Joker is perfect and this movie is much more brutal than I would have expected even knowing that they were going
for that.

I just got back and I liked it, but not as much as everyone else seemed to.
I have some questions, but Ill wait until more people/most people have seen it just incase it spoils anything.

I just can't buy into all this ledger martyr crap going on in the media, fucking junky OD'd. I'm sure he's really good as the Joker, but I hate this
"Oscar worthy" performance bullshit and can't help but feel there wouldn't be half the hype around his performance had he not offed himself like the
junky fuck he was. Fuck him, I saw much younger men with ten times more heart die in a place they didn't want to be but were anyway and no one in the
media gives a fuck about them. I will go see this of course because I am a fanboy geek and I love Batman. Just pissed right now I guess, sorry blah!

The media will always be sensationalists. This is something for them to latch onto as the story of the hour. If the media and their stories upset you
you're going to be dosing more maalox than me.
That doesn't change the role he played. He was amazing.

Like I said, I am sure he was good as the Joker and I wouldn't let all the bullshit surrounding this flick stop me from seeing a really good movie. It
just makes me angry is all. Yup, Maalox is my friend

Loved it. Two-Face is as Two-Face should be.
I'll admit, I was a tad bit confused about the ending... seemed like there were sort of loose ends not tied, but maybe they were tied and that was it
or they were deliberately left untied for the sequel that's supposed to be called "The Dark Knight Returns" which has been reported to be all Two-Face
Dent...

I never seen this actually reported/rumored anywhere, and I frequent all the movie geek sites...you have a link?
Two Face being alive kind of ruins the entire ending of Dark Knight with Batman being Gothams scapegoat.
Dark Knight returns is also a famous Frank Miller Batman story of whom Nolan has has definitely been majorly influenced...but its centered around a
female Robin. Bale has said he doesn't want to do a Batman film with Robin, that he'd "chain himself to his bed" or something of that nature. Not to
Mention Batman is also like 60 in it, Superman and Joker both cameo and theres gangs of mutants.

I remember reading that on SHH! and other sites over two years ago. Hell, there was a wiki page for it too. All gone.
With Two-Face still alive it would only ruin Batman as Gotham's scapegoat if/when he returns to bring havoc to Batman's world. And, of course, Nolan
could easily work elements of Miller's The Dark Knight Returns into a movie of the same name. I mean, Two-Face returns in DKR and so does Joker. You
could have a Gotham hostile to Batman with the GCPD pursuing him constantly. There's no need to involve a Robin of any sort. The best part of Dent's
return in DKR is that as Two-Face his involvement is secret until about half way through the thing. The Joker's "rehabilitation" and return obviously
can't be done now.... but then again, that portion of DKR is almost half a movie in itself with the Two-Face part being a movie itself.
Besides, rumor has it that DC is looking to bring all its movies in-house now. Which likely means more continuity between films and characters. Plus
there rumors of a Justice League movie in the works(curiously not involving Christian Bale as Batman, which would suck IMO). I'm just saying... Batman
Begins had ample inspiration from Frank Miller's Batman Year One and DKR... there's no reason that DKR can't be more directly involved and adapted.
At any rate, that was the rumors I was reading 2 years ago.

I suppose anything is possible but if thats from a couple years back thats before anyone that posts those wikis saw a final script and could have been
total speculation because they heard Dent was going to be in it with the Joker and made the logical conclusion that he would be the villain in '3'.
I'd love to see more two face...just hoping that Nolan doesn't do a 'haha we really didn't kill him....he was just hurt and looked dead' type of
thing. I think he's played both of these movies from too smart/realistic of an angle to do some Friday the 13th back from the dead type stuff.
I really think he should stop now. There no way he's ever going to top DK. It's just not happening. Unfortunately it's going to be a 300 million
dollar cash cow the studio will get SOMEONE to make.

I think the could pull off a third. Batman as outlaw with Gotham calling for his head could be really interesting... which is why it makes sense to me
to have Dent come back. I just don't buy that he's dead.
Either that or I want more Ra's al-Ghul and the League of Shadows. I'm glad they went that route in Begins.

this was FUCKIN' GREAT.
even though the projector broke halfway through, we had to sit for around 6 minutes, they came in and apologized, it didn't start up where it broke
down, then we got free passes on the way out.
this is definitely one to see in the theater.
Ledger's performance is unbelievable.
here's some video i took of the Tumbler & Batpod outside a big theater on Sunset.

Just saw it tonight. Enjoyed the hell out of it. The pencil scene was great. Couldn't give a rats ass that Heath Ledger OD'd but I will say he did
an amazing job as the Joker.
