the dark knight.

wow.

batman has really evolved in this one. he was confronted with really big choices compared to the first movie. i was always wondering how they would introduce his batpod, this was the coolest way to do it.

joker was the star of the movie. heath managed to make joker scary and sick as hell. his whole body language changed for the role. and he uses all knives. no guns. " i use a knife because guns are too quick. otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. you know who people are in their last moments. " joker was trying to prove that everyone eventually falls and does terrible things. and he's also indestructible cos he's got nothing to lose. so gotham's 3 knights, batman, harvey dent and lt. james gordon plan a perfect trap for the joker but he's just too smart and manages to escape.

aaron eckhart plays harvey dent/twoface. he's really righteous and would go all out to clear the city of the criminal scum. batman chooses him to take over. so, batman wants to quit. harvey turn to the dark side when a tragedy occurs and makes him two face. the joker throughout the movie wanted to bring harvey, the district attorney down. i think they would probably focus on two face more the next time since jokers/heath's gone. scarecrow came back for a small part in the beginning. but no character development.

michael caine plays alfred, batman's butler. he's always giving advice to bruce. and is too good to be a butler.

i would confidently say this movie is the best so far this year. and definitely beats the crap out of bullshit like spiderman.

really nothing much to say but great script, great acting. lets hope the 3rd installment gets better.
