FYI, The Dark Knight Is The Shit


I didn’t even pay much attention to the trailers or pre-hype for the film, i just knew I would be watching it during the opening week. Out of the previous Batman films I felt, “Batman Returns,” with Penguin & Cat Woman was clearly the best one. With the later films not being that great. But this one is def a classic, great plot, storyline, acting, characters the complete package.

If you saw the movie check below to discuss the movie.




SPOILERS…SPOILERS….SPOILERS…SPOILERS..SPOILERS

Random Thoughts:

Damn where do I start, the beginning was hilarious, way too risky to ever try in real life though unless you give some of them blank bullets.

I know everyone was thinking damn what is the real story to how Joker got the scars, but sometimes you got to leave things unknown, especially with a crazy man the Joker. Not sure if his background was ever exposed in the comic books.

I liked how the movie mad you think about morals and what is right and wrong. Would you have blew up the boat with prisoners to save your life and your family? The guilt would be with you the rest of your life, but damn you would be living.

Interesting to see a man so focused on doing good turn evil. Also interesting to see normal people be prepared to kill a stranger when Joker put out a hit on the guy trying to expose Batman.

What are your thoughts on the film? Is this the best Batman film to date?

All jokes aside forget the Batman aspect of the movie and its a great movie. Great acting and damn good story when was the last time you saw a villain hold a movie down like that.

Will see for third time tonight

Heath Ledger as Joker made the greatest villain of all time in my eyes.

I saw it Saturday & will be going to see it again. Its the best movie of the summer, Heath Ledger did an excellent job as the joker. He should get an oscar for that performance & i’m not just saying that because he passed away, he made Jack Nicholas look like an amateur.

Wow..am i the only one who thinks this movie sucked rotten eggs? Soooo boaring. Jack Nicholson is the best joker, michael Keton is the ultimate Batman, & Eartha kitt the best Katt woman. Anything else is simply uncivilized.

heath ledger murdered that movie all across the board
if he dont get an oscar, its pure robbery
i wish he was alive to come back as the joker in future movies,
hell the joker should get his own movie, fuck batman

and how many of ya’ll was beasting, waiting to see two-face from the moment they introduced harvey dent?

i cant believe in this day and age they could make a movie, that last over 2hrs, and is great from start to finish. when was the last time u heard people clap at the end of a fuckin movie??? i cant remember the first
they just raised the bar for everybody

This movie is a classic seriously in my opinion Keith Ledger should win an oscar for this movie not bcuz of his death its becuz dude played a classical part in this movie. And in my opinion there hasn’t been alot of classic movies that been hittin the movie theater in a while that has been call a classic. I mean can anybody tell me what movie that was filmed back in the old days and that was brought back with the same old story line same movie. But had different character like batman and went #1 in theater selling 155 mill and in my opinion that a classic if you think about it.

And all i have to say is big ups and rest in peace to Keith Ledger that dude is a legendary genius who’s not really overrated as an actor. But with this batman movie which is keith ledger best film in my opnion dude is a legend everybody focus their attention on him as joker and his character was amazing. Jack Nickolson was the shit and played the best joker back in that time but Keith Ledger is the shit as of now and played the best joker in the new batman movie. Christian Bale character as batman was decent Michael Keaton in the old batman was better tho and not alot of watchers paid any attention to Christian Bale like they did with Keith Ledger.

As far as jokers part in the batman movie know other actor can touch or do what Keith Ledger created dude created a joker that was only made for him. And their know other actor that should touch it they should just focus on creating new villian for any other batman movie that come out…A joker once said…”do you know how i got these scares”…lol what a classc line.

I thought it was kinda wack how they killed off two face tho.
I also wish they had a twist or something at the end like the last one to indicate a sequel.
Botty man’s voice was hell annoying too
But other than that definately a classic flick 9.5 outta 10!

15.
WHITE BOY wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 11:24 am

Oh yea i forget about 2 face that dude was garbage as hell and his face was seriously over burnt like seriously wtf. His face was looking like some un-cook meat beside that his character as 2 face didn’t have any personality. And why in the hell did they give him that small villian part in the movie that he did not play well. And then joker had to talk him into being the bad guy then once dude flip the coin he then turn into a bad guy…THAT WAS SO NOT COOL

16.
Superman_Hip Hop Fan wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 11:28 am

Classic. What can I say that people haven’t said? wow man Heath Ledger owned the shit outta that role, probably best portrayal of a villain I’ve seen. Plot was crazy, action was sufficient.

Man I didnt even realise it was like what 3 hours? I read somewhere itwas but I aint even notice cuz thats how good it was. Mastrtpiece.

I would go into more detail but everybody has said what I’d say. Instant classic.

17.
WHITE BOY wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 11:29 am

Im definitely buying this sum of a bitch when it come out on DVD. And once again big ups to Heath Ledger rest in peace home boy. I know for a fact that his family and daugther is very proud of him for his success.

WHite boy retarded ass had to come up in here and say something Idiotic. What u mean 2face face was over burnt? MOTHAFUCKA HE HAD GASOLINE ON HIS FACE! WHAT U MEAN OVER BURNT?? :|

This dude is a retard.

Man Harvey Dent a.k.a 2face was koo

Chi cities savior wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 11:38 am

yea lets not sleep on the new two face….i would take this two face over theat bullshit ass tomy lee jones role what a joke of a two face back then…this two face was the real two face with the coin flip, correct makeup it ws superior acting from everyone involved but heath ledger stole the whole movie with the joker role NO ONE will ever touch that role in that way. instant classic.

20.
WHITE BOY wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 11:52 am

People never exist until they pass away its like your invisible then once you pass away people start to acknowledge you. I never knew who Heath ledger was until a few years ago and i never knew how great he was as an actor. But after seeing this movie him being a underrated actor is over everybody is gonna be talking about this movie forever.

likeabite wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

The Joker is my favorite villain of all time now thanks to Heath’s performance. I loved the movie and the storyline but it seemed as though they overstretched it to incorporate Harvey “TwoFace” Dent into the movie when his story could have been continued elsewhere. Maybe they wanted to kill two birds with one stone and make room for other villains but either way i loved the movie

22.
RemzRR wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 12:29 pm

Best Batman:Michael Keaton
Best Joker:Heath Ledger Sorry Jack
Next Movie Villian Should Be:Penguin & Catwoman

I don’t think 2Face died at the end of the movie he was still breathing and batman fell the same height and didn’t die so…
they might bring him back I dont really care for 2face.
All he does is flip coins, the joker had much more character
They need the Penguin for the next movie.
Damn I guess thats the last we will see from the Joker in this new line of Batman movies.
I will see this one again on IMAX

23.
RemzRR wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 12:31 pm

So true Whiteboy
I wonder if Heath never died would he have gotten this much praise for his role or even be mentioned for the Oscar nomination out of respect. Makes you wonder sometimes huh?

Batman returns by far worst batman movie ever that was such a terrible comment to make. The dark knight and the first Batman kill the rest when you have the joker you cant go wrong.
Also Two Face is the dryest villain ever good thing he had joker and the riddler to back him up cause by himself I’d want him to flip a coin and shoot me before I’d watch the movie.

I SAW IT TWICE AND I WILL GO AND SEE IT IMAX STYLE…… IM TELLIN YOU ALL MOVIES NEED TO BE THIS CREATIVE. IM SICK OF PREDICTABLE SHIT LIKE IRON MAN .. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AIGHT BUT….. THE LITTLE SHIT MADE THIS MOVIE… EVERYTIME JOKER WAS DOING HIS THING, THE MUSIC GOT TENSE AND DARK!!!!! SICK… OH AND THEY KILLED OFF RACHEL DAWES, THE MOST IRRITATING ANNOYOING CHARACTER IN MOVIE HOISTORY… WOULDVE BEEN BETTER IF KATIE HOLMES GOT DONE INSTEAD.. LOL

Superman_HIp Hop Fan wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 2:21 pm

I would also like to add, most poeple I talked to wondered why Batman went to save Rachel instead of Harvey at the warehouse.

It seemed illogical being that Bruce wayne has a personal relationship with Rachel and itst he obvious choice to save her BUT he saved Harbey Dent instead because protecting the City of Gotham is greater than saving one woman. In saving Harvey he hoped to preserve his legacy because Gotham needed a hero with a face, a recognizable figure of justice. Well, we all know how that turned out. Harvey became 2face.

But damn Joker is probably the most menacing villain that using nothing but bombs and guns. No super powers but the role was portrayed in such a pyschotic manner its totally believable and genuinely scary at some points.

Amazing movie.

Superman_HIp Hop Fan wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 2:24 pm

Oh yeah and I knew who Heath Ledger was before this movie. He mostly acted in chick flicks and Broke back mountain, none of which I ever saw.

Would also stress that dead or alive, his performance as joker would have recieved alot of praise.

Aslo Christian Bale is the best Batman yet. Actually looks physically strong and the Bat suit is the best ever. It actually allows Batman to move his neck :lol:

LOL White Boy and his comments

This is by far the best Batman to date, wasnt as cartoony like the rest, it was much more twisted and demented. It really made you think, real talk i thougt D-Bo was gonna blow that shit up lmao
Joker kinda reminded me of Hannibal Lecter he was that deranged, that scene where he walkin out tha hospital in tha nurse outfit is a classic LOL

Watch Heath Ledger win best actor, not just cuz hes dead and its never happened before, because that was one of tha best acting/casting jobs ive seen in a minute, real talk.

And ye Batman Returns was clearly the worst one, Penguin was tha shittiest villian ever LOL, and if there is gonna be a next Batman movie which i doubt there will be, Commissioner Gordans son will be Robin

i hear you, but nahhhhh son thats not what happen kid. joker gave him the wrong address nigga..!!! think about it.. joker siad i thought you were dent when i threw her out the window, the way you ran after her… he knew he was going to go get her.. thats why he fucked him up and made him go after dent instead with the wrong adress. thats how fucking great joker is in this movie..!!!!!! but i thought the same thing you said at first though.

Superman_HIp Hop Fan wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 3:17 pm

White boy, you asassinated yourself by comparing Tomy Lee Jones asstacular, horrible, performance of Two Face to the Two Face in The Dark Knight.

I have seen ALL the Batman movies, I had Batman action figures and what not as a child, why the fuck you think I know this much about Batman? :lol:

TWO FACE PLAYED BY TOMMY LEE HAD A FUCKIN PURPLE PLASTIC FACE! HOW THE FUCK SHOULD THAT EMBARASSMENT OF SPECIAL EFFECTS BE USED AS A REFERENCE FOR THIS MOVIE

Two Face in Dark Knight looked 100X more realistic than Tommy Lee Jones stupid ass. Get ur facts right WHITE BOY.

WHITE BOY wrote on July 24th, 2008 at 4:11 pm

Superman hiphop fan’… Of corse you know your comic im sure your what like 12 years old lol. But i really don’t care about you knowing your comics and action figure. Because like i said 2 faces face in the new dark knight movie was two over burnet.

And if corse i know that he was burnet but the way they made his face was just to computerized. All im saying is that they could of made it looked burn with out over computerizing it. And just for your info i wasn’t comparing the new two face with the old two faces. I never compared their performance so i really don’t know what your ass is talking about. And just for the record your a stupid ass how could you compare both faces when tommy lee face was plaster up and the dark knigt 2 face was computerized. In my opinion both faces has differences tommy lee’s face was of corse a plastic face. And the new 2 face in the dark knight looks computerized but they both did a good job face wise.

But as far as realistic i don’t think so the story line of him becoming 2 face was better being that he was burnet. But it obvious that once you get burn in the face your eye balls would not be showing like that or seem and your skin will not be see through.

I mean if you consistently have to get on a blog on some shit that is not that serious then you obviously suck dick. My username has consistently been brought up buy a few blogs on some shit that ain’t that serious. And i seriously wouldn’t be surprised if the blogs that are fags who loves to wear dresses and make up since ya’ll love catching feeling. In my opinion you either want attention or you just want me to diss you either way im still lol at you for being a bunch of sensitive sissy ass pussies girls period. One again rest in peace to “Heath” Ledger are ya 100% happy now fuckin sissy.

I think its time for a female perspective up in here. Dark Night is the shit I will be getting the DVD when it come out. If you haven’t gone you need to go its money well spent.

An Heath may he RIP smashed that shit his Joker was crazy.

On the whole Jack VS Heath debate this answer is both. There are now 2 classic jokers. You can’t compare one to the other. The Joker that was bumping Prince in the Art Museum while vandalizing priceless paintings wit New Jack City thugs is not the same as Heaths twistedly humorous “I’m going to make the pencil disappear” sadist who only kill my victims with knives so I can see who they really are Joker.

Which you enjoy more is a matter of opinion but you can’t say one is better than the other when they essentially played two different characters.

An for those who don’t know Heath Ledger has always been and would’ve continued to be a phenomenal actor. Ain’t nobody overrating shit. But like one of y’all mention he wasn’t making movies y’all was trying to see.

Honestly if he hadn’t done this movie dude might still be alive. He got so into this character wouldn’t answer to his own name, you had to call him the joker guy was having sleeping problems he got meds shit mixed with his other stuff now he six feet under.

Which is a dumb reason to die just cuz dude didn’t have to. Speaking for myself I know how to put a man to bed and you don’t need a prescription.

It was good i find that even though Ledger played the hell out of that role he might not get a oscar.I found the story a little slow and when the chase scenes weren’t active or some other actoin element the story was boring.there was so many characters that i don’t believe bruce wayne got as much shine as he should have gotten as a character.

and i don’t think because he did this movie he died.That’s ignorant and foolish he died cause of drugs.If he was really the great actor some of you say he is he wouldn’t have needed drugs to simply act.

Yes,The two face is bland and boring but its the fact that he is harvey dent which makes him a great character.I like harvey dent he was awesome point blank period.

The bat voice sucks and now we know why is eyes are white.

The joker as a character was amazing my girl was freaking out over some of the things he did,the pencil trick was amazing.I also like how they didn’t give him a background I was mad at 1st but I prefer the joker to be a mystery ever superhero and villain does not need a background.

and I’ll be damned if that lil boy become Robin.Robin needs to be one of the original robins time drake to show the death of his father or jason todd and how he turned to crimianl…

good fucking movie

Is this the best Batman film to date? NO WAY. I have nothing found good in it. What a shit of Joker, this actor receives good criticism because, unfortunately, he is dead. If he would be alive, nobody would comment those things. This is simply a shit of movie. And the only advertising is that Christian Bale has been arrested, waht a shame! So, this is the kind of advertising that this type of movies make, I see.
