“Escalation.” That’s what Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) worried about at the conclusion of Batman Begins, throwing down The Joker’s calling card. And escalation is precisely what... read more »
Trailer looks awesome, and critics say film good, cant wait
Very impressive viewing... With a whole host of fine actors to boot.
Heath Ledgers' portrayal of the Joker was fantastic and that's not just sympathetic hype due to fact that he died soon after acting his part as the Joker either... It is the truth as only I tell it.
Credit is also due to Aaron Eckhart for he was a believable Harvey Dent unlike (spoiler alert) Mr Tommy Lee Jone's quite comical but entertaining portrayal of Two Face in Batman Forever... Oops! I really shouldn't have mentioned that movie as it is quite a different film altogethor.
Batman: The Dark Night shows the viewer just how these villiains become 'the bad guys' and how Batman himself treads a very fine line between becoming a villain himself.

Maybe that is due to the fact that this is not just an action flic... It's more than that... And all the better for it.
With all that said if it is action with lots of impressive special affects and amazing cinematography you're after then look no further than Batman: The Dark Night.
This film satisfied me on many different levels... All in all a good film to watch on (wait for it)... A dark night.

"The thing that struck me about this movie were the contemporary issues. The mirror of our times. It is a heavy movie in a lot of ways," Eckhart said. He also became the... Read more
