The Dark Knight

Who thought \\"The Dark Knight\\" was an amazing movie?! The performance by Christian Bale and Heath Ledger was so terrific! I would have to say that it\'s the best movie of the Summer and quite possibly of the year! I saw the movie twice in theaters because it was so great! Christopher Nolan\'s Batman is the best to ever reach the screen and he did so well in putting the movies together. I look forward to seeing more of his work.

While I\'ve always been a Batman fan, I did have a problem with the DA turned psycho killer. It seems that I remember a character \\"Two Face\\", but he was in the comic strip with Dick Tracy. Who is there, who could match or surpass Heath Ledger as Joker? Only one other movie I\'ve seen in the past years has offered a line equal to \\"Why so serious?\'\\", and that was Val Kilmer\'s line in Tombstone, \\"I\'ll be your huckleberry!\\" I read in the paper that The Dark Knight has made more money in two weekends than any movie, ever. QUESTION: What did Bruce Wayne do to affect the change in his voice, once he donned the Batman costume? Hmmmm!

I also loved the movie! Just when I thought all the action was over, there were more action scenes! Heath Ledger did an outstanding job as the Joker, what a way for him to go out! And I love Christian Bale as Batman! He is by far, my favorite actor to play Batman.

I went to see the X-Files movie and was so disappointed that I had to go see the Batman movie immediately afterwards. The characters were amazing. I can\'t believe that Heath Ledger is gone. It seems like this movie left open the possibility that the Joker will return.

I thought it was great. Jack Nicholson who? I need to see it in IMAX again. Anybody pick up on the conservative elements? TwoFace was in the original comics, and Bruce Wayne (Bale) deepened his voice, and it was also digitally enhanced to create the \'Batman\\" voice.

I also anted to add that TwoFace/Harvey Dent was in the original movie \\"Batman\\", and was played by Billie Dee Williams. He all of the sudden became white in \\"Batman Forever\\" and was played by Tommy Lee Jones. He has been around since the 40\'s..but not affiliated with Batman.

Harvey Dent/Two Face has been a character in Batman for a long while now. Also he was usually white.

I was impressed with the movie. I think some of the best dialog was when Two Face and the Joker were in the hospital. (Not the mention the funny outfit The Joker had on.) Where Heath is describing his character to Two Face. Such things as \\"I\'m a dog chasing a car, if I caught one I wouldn\'t know what to do with it.\\" With all of his descriptions on the havoc he is making, he really is just a nihilist. There is something thought provoking that a man who cares only about destruction and the only way to get rid of him is to destroy him, yet when that is done you become The Nihilist. I think the movies shows the state of our world today. That we live in every one has their own truth and sin is a spectrum. When a n evil man steps on the scene, the value scale of evil changes and people realize their choices makes them into one of two people. What i mostly enjoyed about the movie was that it kept to the The Dark Knight graphic novel vs the cartoon series or comic books. In the comic books The joker has a love interested that died and he went insane. Here the movie keeps with the graphic novel , way more philosophical. As you can see I\'m a bit of a nerd.

Yea I meant that in the first Batman, he was black, and then later in Batman Forever, he was white. He was always white in the comics.

What I\'m wondering about (not having seen it yet) is where it (if anywhere) expresses our Faith or denies it (obviously, not openly and by name, but just by things that say, usually indirectly, (for example) \\"There is no truth\\" or \\"No hope in life\\" or whatever).

The Dark Knight was EPIC I was blown away! One of the best movies of all time! It also made the most money the most money an movie did. I was so amazed it was SO well done and perfect! batman is the ultimate super hero. Th Joker is one of the ultimate Villains!

Heath Ledger seriously screwed himself up over the role, though. He spent, like, 6 months in a cheap hotel room alone just to get into the role, and he died from an overdose (or conflict?) of depression pills and anti-anxiety pills. While I haven\'t seen the movie yet, I think Jack Nicholson\'s Joker in the Tim Burton movie embodies the Joker the way he should be: a slightly bitter gangster-gone-bad with something to prove and a very weird sense of humor. While he wasn\'t as dark and demented as Ledger\'s Joker, what made him dark and evil in my mind was how he was so light and cavalier about his evil deeds. That said, there\'s no way you can top Ledger\'s acting. It actually has not made the most money of any movie ever, since Titanic is ahead by about $80 million.

He actually died from an overdose of a drug to help him sleep. He had Insomnia, which is a symptom of a sleeping disorder.

Great movie in a great series, but very dark. I think it was better than the first one, but I will watch the first again a little easier.

Speaking of Heath Ledger\'s untimely death .... I find the \\"Dark Knight Curse\\", \\"Billy Bob Thorton Curse\\", and other \\"Hollywood Curses\\" rather intriguing. It makes for a very good case to those who don\'t believe in Demons or the magnitude of demonic power.
