Why so serious?
I went to see he midnight showing of the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight. Remarkably, the film far surpassed the hype the marketing team built around the film. I left the theatre throughly impressed and the general response seems unanimous in the film’s favor. The Nolan brothers certainly have their work cut out for them for the next Batman film, but even if it doesn’t turn out as phenomenal as Dark Knight, they still deserve huge props for bringing critical legitimacy to comic book adaptations. One of the highlights of seeing the film at midnight was seeing people dress up.
It’ll be interesting to see if The Dark Knight can retain it’s 9.7 rating and current #1 spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. Any bets on the next Batman villain?
I want to go see The Dark Knight again. It would be excellent to see it in Imax.
The next Batman villian is probably going to be Two-Face. Isn’t Harvey Dent- suppose to become Two-Face after Joker throws acid on him?
Tim I thought you saw the movie already. Did you completely miss the fact that Two-Face was in the movie? And Harvey Dent does not become Two-Face because Joker throws acid at him…at least not in the film but I won’t ruin it for those who haven’t seen it (all 2 of them).
Brian, you know I know next to zero about Batman and the story line. And yes I did see the movie. Maybe I need to see it again to make sure I have the story straight.
Clearly the only villain terrifying enough to surpass the Joker is the Penguin
