    I'm not a DC Comics fan, but I went to see The Dark Knight over the weekend. I heard a lot of things about it, how good it was and about some parallels it contained to our (the U.S.) current government.

    I didn't care much for the ending, but that may be resolved in another in another film. The highlight for me was the performance of Heath Ledger as The Joker. So even if you're not a Batman :bat: fan like me, you'll like this film. It's dark and scary, but very entertaining and engrossing. :smile:

    I used to like Batman as a kid, but as I grew up and realized he doesn't have any special powers like the other heroes I think I sort of went off him. I was thinking though that this latest movie might be pretty good, I like that actor in Equilibrium.

    Do you mean Christian Bale? He played Bruce Wayne/Batman. For some reason, in this film, he lowers his voice and it's kinda growly when he's Batman, but not as himself/Wayne. I assume it's to avoid recognition, but I don't think the other Batman's did that.

    Yeah Christian Bale, that's his name. He's uber cool in Equilibrium.

    Actually, the fact that he doesn't have special powers is the thing that I like about Batman.

    Yeah, it's the batsuit and gadgets that give him superhero status. In one scene from The Dark Knight, Batman gets attacked by rottweilers. As Bruce Wayne, we see Alfred tending to his wounds. He requests stronger armor in his suit in case he comes in contact with them again. He does. The suit holds out. :)

    I bought the DVD the other day. It's a very long movie, I thought it would never end because I read the box wrong - I thought it said 1hr 45mins but it said 145mins, I like it though. :)

    I first saw it in the theater and when it was over, I thought, Wow! that was a long movie, but it seemed to go so quick. The first captured screen shot I posted was from one of my favorite scenes---Hit me!

    YouTube - The Joker - Hit me (Full scene) HD

    I agree, it's definitely a well-made movie, it's nice when they get these comic book movies right, and a tragedy when they don't. Have you seen Ironman by the way? I think that's pretty good too, and it also features a normal guy using technology instead of superpowers - I think my life is taking a u-turn on the whole superpower thing. :)

    I've heard a lot of good things about it from comic fans. I've added it to my list of must see movies. In the meantime...

    I'm WILD about The Joker!

    Me too. It was well deserved. The sad thing about is he isn't here to accept it.
