The Dark Knight

[Engine]

One indisputable fact here. No movie in the history of the planet has ever been as well marketed and promoted as this one.

Seen it this afternoon, can't really comment on it fully yet as I'm tired and also still trying to absorb what I witnessed.

I saw it today. Thought it was brilliant to be honest, especially the background score. Yes the ending was drawn out a little bit, and slightly detracted from the movie as a whole. Still brilliant though.

Loved the magic trick with the disappearing ..pencil (don't remember what the pointed object was)? Sadistic, yet funny at the same time.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

not bad, was a little ironic the very last time we saw the joker, he was left hanging.

 

[Jono078]

Yeah it felt weird watching the Joker and his last words in the movie.

Awesome.

While the 2 face part did feel unnecessary, it was essential to Jokers grand master plan.

you cant have Harvey dent without two face eventually.

*EDIT* Try to use the spoiler tags please.

I think the main question left for me is what are they going to do with the Joker in the 3rd movie? You can't really expect any actor to take Ledger's place. At the same time you can't leave the chief antagonist out of the series.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

nah. thats it for him.

you cant reprise that role.

 

[Engine]

Hire Jim Carrey for the Joker role.

 

[Engine]

A more mature Carrey might just pull it off.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

nah.

they wont bring it back. not now.

my guess if there is a 3rd film you would have the riddler involved. other that..man bat? mr freeze?

 

[Jono078]

It will be something that can be realistic.

I remember reading someone called clayface being ruled out.

Two-Face will make a return I think.

Other than that there could be the Penguin, Riddler, Bane, Poison Ivy and Catwoman.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

the riddler and catwoman then?

id love to see man bat. he was awesome in the animated series.

 

[Engine]

Was man-bat a villain? I'd like to see Stacy Kiebler play Catwoman. Shame about her acting, but that didn't stop Arnie playing Dr Freeze.

 

[Knightmare]

Mmmmm, Stacey Keibler as Catwoman......

On saying that, I would like to see The Riddler given a new lease of life from the camp Joel Schumacher version. A darker, more sinister version of him, like what they did with Joker and Twoface.

kind of.

he was in the comic books and the animated series.

scientist guy who takes some formula and then becomes a giant bat.


I would go with the riddler and catwoman...as after that the bad guys get nore un realistic and less well known.

 

[Azkatro]

A more mature Carrey might just pull it off.

I disagree .. I think Ledger proved the Joker works as a dark soul first, funny man second. Which is the genius of his performance. You get sucked into seeing the sick, twisted, pathetic excuse for a human being the Joker is.. then he makes you laugh. And that's the moment you realise that on some level, you almost *get* his demented nature.

How many actors around these days can pull that off?

Biggest ever boxoffice hit..
