The Dark Knight

***Minor Spoilers***

OMG I totally loved the movie! I've been a huge Batman fan for many years and I was so excited when they started these new ones. Batman in the movies desperately needed to be redeemed after Batman Forever and Batman and Robin... Ugh! Here are my thoughts on The Dark Knight:

Joker: When I heard Heath Ledger was going to play the Joker, I was scared. When I think of Heath, I think of A Knight's Tale. A pretty boy, almost baby faced guy who's trying to impress his girl (who really was kinda ugly and also a jerk). I heard from some friends that he was amazing as the Joker and that it really should have been called the Heath Ledger Show. When I watched it, I became a believer and abandoned all my doubts. He really was spectacular.

Lucius Fox: I talked about him in an earlier post, but I like how he's not an idiot in the movies. In the comics he's pretty much oblivious to Bruce Wayne's true identity and simply accepts his playboy exterior. In these movies he obviously knows that something is up and that Bruce is smarter than he lets on. It also strongly hints that Lucius knows Bruce's secret.

Two-Face: I liked him! One of the coolest things was his make up (how did they do it?).

This blog entry is sort of a response to my friend's entry, but be warned, he has actual spoilers.

Here is a video about the opening night that is awesome:


And a random quote:
Upon hearing that my post may have spoilers:
My husband: You've figured out a way to keep me from reading your blog.
Me: How is that different from you normally not reading my blog?
