the dark knight
those who witnessed this movie should have reiterated its awesomeness back when. Seriously, I got it on dvd and wow. This is the first BATMAN movie I
ever saw.

I liked the Two-Face angle. Best Batman yet. Can't wait for the Wolverine movie.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Aren't they re-releasing this in cinema's?
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I think it's probably the best comic based movie so far. I need to pick it up sometime....although I think I ended up seeing it four times in the
theater. It's crazy for me to see a movie more than once in the theater, three times is extremely rare for me, and I can't remember the last movie I
saw four times.
I saw the preview for Wolverine last week when I saw The Spirit and I'm really looking forward to it. I don't think it's gonna come anywhere near Dark
Knight, but it still looks pretty good. The Spirit was a let down, by the way. Some cool shots and nice lookin' broads, but definitely not up to the
Sin City standards the studio hype played it up to be. Very odd sense of humor to it and I could never quite immerse myself in the story. There were
some cool parts to the story itself and I have to admit that seeing Sam Jackson and Scarlett Johannsen in nazi uniforms was awesome, but over all a
definite let down. I would suggest waiting for the DVD for anybody that hasn't seen it yet.

Damn, I wanted to see that one too. Maybe it would be helpful to read the old Will Eisner's The Spirit comics rather than get the first intro to the
whole world via Frank Miller... who, quite frankly, has kind of gone off his rocker in the last few years.

Yeah, I think the sense of humor would probably be a lot more accessible for people more familiar with the comic. I have checked The Spirit comic out
a little in the past, but not nearly enough to be prepared for this movie. It's actually a bit awkward and the humor kind of flies right past you
until you get a good way into the movie and understand the angle. It's MUCH more light hearted than Sin City, although I can see a thin thread of
connection between the two aside from the visuals.

there should be no connection between sin city and the spirit..........
i for one could not wrap my head around why Frank miller was involved with the spirit movie anyways.......only thing i can come up with is just a name
to sell the product.....
and the spirit is suppose to be lighthearted..
there now that, that's off my chest......
I'm still going to go see it, expecting the worst.......

we watched the dark night last night as well.
i had seen batman and batman returns back in the day and thought they were gay.
were there any others between those and dark night?
anyway, yeah, dark night was good.
good ol' hd on demand.
sin city... one of the very few movies i didn't watch in it's entirety.
could NOT get into it.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

If you thought Batman and Batman Returns were gay, just be thankful you never saw Batman Forever or especially not Batman & Robin. The last 2 were
definitely gay...

Definitely.
Though I have read a good deal of Batman, is how Harvey Dent turned into Two Face like that in any comic book or did Nolan come up with that?

I have to dispute this statement, Hellboy is by far the best comic adapted flick to hit the screens in my humble opinion. Dark Knight was good, but
not THAT good. And the junky was good, but not THAT good. There are plenty of others who could have acted circles around his version of ol' laughs.

I'm sorry , I'm still real pissed about all the poor him bullshit that came from this, if yer gonna cry for him, then why not cry for every junky that
checks themselves out. I digress though, it's about the movie, not the fuckstick.

I never read the Hellboy comics so I had no background on it when I saw the movie, which I thought was pretty lame.
I loved the Dark Knight, particularly Heath Ledger as the Joker. I thought he was going to suck when they announced him for the role, but he blew me
away. As for Dark Knight, it's definitely my favorite comic adaptation, followed by V For Vendetta.

Batman Begins which came out in 05 was the first in this new series of films. Definitely worth checking out.
I liked Hellboy but never read any of the comics. I've heard from fans of the book that it was pretty divergent from them but I have no idea. I
definitely preferred XMen 1 and 2 to Hellboy.
Harvey Dent's origin was changed in this; he's scarred with acid in a courtroom in the comics.
Voodoo- He wasn't a "junky who offed himself." It's been proven at this point that it was an accidental mixture of two prescription drugs: I believe
something for the flu and some sort of sleep medication that basically killed him when he mixed and matched. There's quite a few medications available
over the counter and with prescriptions that this can happen with.

Voodoo, I absolutely love Hellboy and to a slightly lesser extent, Hellboy II. However, those movies didn't come close to blowing me away in the same
way that Dark Knight did. I thought Batman Begins was fucking amazing but had no idea that it was leading up to something as impressive as the Dark
Knight. And like Discipline, I thought Ledger was a poor choice for the Joker, but I honestly cannot think of one actor who could have pulled that off
better. I don't know all or really even very many of the facts about his death so I don't quite feel qualified to pass judgement on it. I do feel very
sorry for his kid, but aside from that I refuse to indulge in the lamentations of the masses over a man I never knew.

By one of Falcone's men in Year One, but were there any other different origin stories for him, kind of like how Joker has a couple?

I'm pretty sure it's always been someone tossing acid on him in court. I think the person doing it has changed, but I think it's been pretty static.
I don't even really consider Batman Begins and Dark Knight as "comic book" movies. I said that when BB came out and I feel that way even more strongly
about DK. I thought IronMan was an EXCELLENT comic book movie. Esp in DK the "super hero element" is almost irrelevant. Batman could have just been
some great cop played by Deniro who's hunted by a psychopath.
TIS- I definitely feel bad for his child. And, I lament the loss of a great actor, so young. My point was referring to him as a "junky who offed
himself" is very ill informed or ignorant. It wasn't a John Belushi snorting and shooting everything under the sun scenario.
