I CANT WAIT!!! This is going to be so sick!  Obviously Jack as Joker can never be equaled or matched but it looks like Heath (RIP) did a great job!

Even before Heath died, he was getting Oscar Buzz with his role as the Joker.  Now it has become really strong.

as far as I know the scene with harvey as two face has leaked.not 100 % sure tho, I was just told by a guy I know, he said he watched it and described how he looked

batman and the newly promoted comish gordon are talking about how they're going to clean up the city, and gordon says well i got this lead on this bank robber who leaves his calling card . then it pans to this platic bag in his hands and it's a Joker card. Then Batman looks all determined and says i'll get on it! .



i really think they should bring back the batman theme by danny elfman that shit is what helped make the old ones.....that or at least give him one because whoever did the music to batman begins did a bad job (zimmerman i think....if so that's his weakest movie)

My brother will be on a trip to London somewhere near the end of August. He already ordered his tickets to see this movie in IMAX 8) I wish I could join him...

But yeah, just like pretty much everybody in the world, I'm also really looking forward to see this. The trailers look sick...Heath Ledger looks insane.

How much will the film make worldwide?  My guess is that it will be over 800 million, and possibly close to reach the 1 billion mark.  It's this generation's Empire Strikes Back!

i gave in and saw it.. it was out here on wednesday here in australia. as for the movie itself, without giving too much away, i'll be suprised if it doesnt get movie of the year. everyones acting in it is superb, heath ledgers hype as the joker is deserving of that oscar. from the way he talks down to the mannerisms while he's speaking his lines, the dude is creepy as fuck and actually makes you anxious when he comes onto the screen to do his scene. aaron eckhart has twoface down pat, i can't wait for the next one to see what he comes up with!

alfred has some good lines in this one too  ;D

Post by: Don Jacob on July 18, 2008, 03:02:18 AM
yeah ....honestly this movie is probably the greatest Comic based movie of all time......Kevin Smith nailed it on the head when he said that this is the Godfather II of all Comic Book Based Movies.


and for the record


Heath Ledgers Performance actually does rank right up there with Jack Nicholson's performance......and i was probably the greatest critic about the move to make heath ledger the joker in the beginining. heath did fantastic...any more screen time i think he would have past up Jack. But Bale deserves mad props as well.

you cant be serious, what was better about it? it wasnt even faithful to the comics, it even went as far as to make shit up (the joker killing batmans parents? ha!). lets not even get into the fact that the joker wasnt even in the movie, it was jack nicholson playing jack nicholson in makeup. the joker was a clown in a suit, and if they had 5 more minutes he'd probably start making balloon animals. 'the dark knight' has the joker down to what it should have been in the first movie, a complete psychopathic and deranged killer who actually creeps you out when he gets on screen

heath >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> jack as the joker

but the comment said here about jack sounds extreme to really down his acting in the movie.  The scenes like where he pops the cop, pulls out the massive pistol to shoot batman down, and (my favorite)

My God. I was already anticipating so much of this movie due to hype, but it delivered above and beyond my expectations. It shits all over Batman Begins and all the other Batman movies made.

Ledger's Joker >>>>>>>>>>>>> Nicholson's Joker

The movie was almost 3 hours, but it never dragged and always kept my attention.

You're a fool not to go watch it.

Best movie ever?  That is a bit absurd but I was so impressed that this lived up to the hype and expectations because for me they were extremely high and when I went to see this movie it completely lived up to all the hype.  I am so excited to see this again,  but best movie ever? NAH, Silence of The Lambs, The Godfather..  The Dark Knight isn't on the level of those films but yes it was still incredible.

Best movie ever?  That is a bit absurd but I was so impressed that this lived up to the hype and expectations because for me they were extremely high and when I went to see this movie it completely lived up to all the hype.  I am so excited to see this again,  but best movie ever? NAH, Silence of The Lambs, The Godfather..  The Dark Knight isn't on the level of those films but yes it was still incredible.

I like the Godfather but now that I've seen it I never wanna see it again. It has no rewatchability for me - no moments that make me wanna come back. It just has my initial reaction.

I'd easily say The Departed was more engaging than the Godfather... and better overall.

good movie...im gonna co-sign the Ledger>jack joker sentiment. he was over the top crazy but made it believable...


spoiler???





the magic trick with the pencil was fuckin dope...the jampacked theater all screamed "oh shit" all at once lol...good shit 

That got a loud ovation at the theater I saw it at. I could not help but clap.

I saw that shit, I almost went to the midnight showing, but thought better when work was at 6am, so I went Friday night. Theater in the Mall of America was sold out, what's new, and I'm so glad I resisted spoilers, having people tell me about the movie and what not. I just went in and enjoyed the best comic book movie ever. It fully lived up to the hype, it was even better than I could imagion, all the right people died that I wanted to die... lol... Joker was OOZING swag. I heard some say Bale did an average job acting opposite Ledger, but to be completely honest, when it's Batman v. Joker, that's what it is, it made so much sense, maybe 'cause I'm a comic guy. Plus Bale gets mad props for doing much of his own stunts.

This movie though moved the whole movie series beyond comic, and into epic action adventure which happens to be with Batman. I am very happy with it, and am waiting for part 3. Who will be the villian, only time will tell. But it will be great.

You could easily end the series there, but Nolan says his looking for a trilogy. Since it's obvious Ledger ain't coming back, I wonder what they will do for part 3. Personally, I would love to have seen one more Batman/Joker fight, it's the fight that never ends and is always entertaining. If they do have a part 3, I wonder if Hush would be a good character.

It's not the best movie ever, though it seems like it right after seeing it. It is for sure the best action movie ever made, by far the best comic-book adapted movie ever made, and the best movie made in the last 10 years. After watching this, you realize just how crappy Spiderman 1-3 was, and just how good movies can be. Nolan is a god, the Prestige, Memento, both Batman's. He's the best director working today.

Exactly, they could have easily just picked him up and have him in Arkham Asylum.  Especially since the funeral was shown without a body.

if i was fucked up like twoface, i wouldnt want my body shown at the funeral. he fell what, 4 or 5 stories and wasnt moving, if he was alive they would've given us a shot of him in arkham or jail or whatever. since the nolan's said that they are treating this movie like its the final one, my guess is that what we see is what we get. harvey appears dead, so he's dead ..

we will get catwoman (hints dropped in the movie) + the riddler if there is a next movie, or maybe the return of scarecrow

No casket though, it didn't have to show the body.  I just think that if Nolan has a good storyline for Two-Face, they can easily just come up with an excuse to how he's still alive.

That was more of a joke. He said "it can handle cats" most likely because he wasnt sure on if it could handle vicious dogs. I didn't see it as a nod to catwoman at all.

Though I wouldn't mind her in the next one.

I wanted to know how your theater reacted to this scene, when the Joker submits a video of him questioning a guy in a Batman costume. After the scene, the theater that I was in was in complete silence. Either people were just meh about it or people were completely terrified by it I guess.  IMO, it was the most terrifying Joker scene in the film.

Ledger made that movie what it was, I didnt think he would top Nicholson's performance but he did, gonna go see it in Imax next week, for me there wasnt one dull moment in the movie at all. an oscar-worthy film in my opinion, Ledger deserves a nod., as well as a nod for movie of the year.

I had my problems with it. Still a great film. Still best super hero film ever so far. But there were things that really rubbed me the wrong way. The Batman/Joker convo in the that was lifted from Killing Joke doesn't work so well with out the years of history. Two Face was rushed and his Return of the Sith Darth Vader reasoning for going bad didn't do it for me. They should have had Dent be a bit more two faced from the beginning. Not so much a split personality but more a secret hatred for the world. They also should have had Dent play the Dawes character in both films. I still see no reason for Rachel Dawes. I also didn't buy Batman caring so much about Dent's reputation that he'd take the rap for killing Cops. But Batman turning villain-like for the public was a great idea and a great way to explain the title of the film. It was also a great way to introduce the real face of hope the people of Gotham need to go on; Superman. If a Bat/Supes film was ever ready to go now would have been the time. Too bad the Superman film sucked so much. DC should just do what Marvel did with Hulk.

I can't imagine a different way it could have ended if Harvey Dent's transformation was saved for the Third Film. Batman was willing to put all of Two-Face's blame on him for the sake of Gotham's citizens.  This sacrifice had to come from a Hero turned Villian, and The Joker doesn't fit the bill at all.

ya i have read that also but then again, last movie it was obvious the joker was gonna be that guy but if they can why not keep a suprise for the next one? I also read he wanted to take characters that werent featured in any films so maybe the main vilan will be a character never used on fim while the penguin or catwoman having a secondary role.

Just got back from seeing it for the first time.

Before I give my thoughts, let me say that I have never read a single Batman comic book lol but am a big fan of the movies and have seen them all. When I first heard Joker was being re-done I (as many I am sure) said to myself "what the fuck? Nicholson was WAY too good for them to do this over."

I then saw the trailer and was anticipated to see Heath's take on it. I saw it today (a bit late) and was told by MANY that Heath's performance was fantastic (obvi) and it raised my expectations for him to what I thought was unmeetable.

Well holy fuck, Heath somehow surpassed what I thought was my unrealistic expectations. He was beyond fantastic and no doubt deserves the Oscar. NO doubt.

Heath > Nicholson and that shocks me, but that's really how it is.

I agree with the dude who said Bale seems the weakest link IMO when in Batman mode. He's fine as Bruce Wayne but in Batman mode, I don't like him at all.

still, fantastic film, movie of the year.

RIP Heath

word,ledger made Jokers psychosis gritty and realistic. not sayin jack wasnt believable but it came off cartoony here and there IMO(which maybe what he was goin for). but from his speech,mannerisms,walk etc. ledger owned that role.

I had tickets booked for this for about a month and it finally came out over here in the UK, i was really hyped for it, and it didnt dissapoint, this movie is on a standard above every other Batman, and is easily Movie of the Year so far.

Heath Ledger was absolutely amazing, i've never been so amazed by a performance, and it'll be a crime if he isnt awarded an oscar.

The overall movie was clean, everyone acted brilliantly, there were one or two things i disliked (Two-Faces face which was unrealistic) but the movie was still great, i cant get over heaths performance as the Joker, and to be honest my main dissapointment is that i wanna see a third now with the Joker but of course that cant happen. I really wanna go see it again but im going away to Egypt for Hols, hopefully it'll still be out at the cinemas when i come back.

It could go wrong if Nolan backs out  :'(

Pay that man whatever he wants. I want no other director touching Batman until after 3. After 3, Schumacher can comeback for all I care, but leave 3 for Nolan and let the series come to an end.

Just got back from seeing it for the first time.

Before I give my thoughts, let me say that I have never read a single Batman comic book lol but am a big fan of the movies and have seen them all. When I first heard Joker was being re-done I (as many I am sure) said to myself "what the fuck? Nicholson was WAY too good for them to do this over."

I then saw the trailer and was anticipated to see Heath's take on it. I saw it today (a bit late) and was told by MANY that Heath's performance was fantastic (obvi) and it raised my expectations for him to what I thought was unmeetable.

Well holy fuck, Heath somehow surpassed what I thought was my unrealistic expectations. He was beyond fantastic and no doubt deserves the Oscar. NO doubt.

Heath > Nicholson and that shocks me, but that's really how it is.

I agree with the dude who said Bale seems the weakest link IMO when in Batman mode. He's fine as Bruce Wayne but in Batman mode, I don't like him at all.

still, fantastic film, movie of the year.

RIP Heath

Congradulations. I will say that Bale as Batman was actually a great performance, and that it came off how Batman vs. Joker usually does. With other villians, the Batman character usually holds it's own as a personality and can outshine his rival. But as a character in general, Joker outshines Batman, and is usually needed, as Batman is such a dark and serious hero that a colorful and charismatic villian is needed to truly lift the Batman character. That why the Batman stories all have to have Joker, his the Ying that completes the Batman Yang. Next to Joker, Batman always is boring, no matter if it's Michael Keaton, the cartoon or whatever comic you want, Joker is the star and dispite Bale showing a great Batman in Batman Begins, Batman is supporting actor to Joker, no matter Jack Nicholson, cartoon or comic. It's just kind of the story.

yeah i really liked Bale in this movie, he was corny in begins in my opinion, but i like him as batman just as much as if not better than keaton. when he gets pissed, he's got those teeth that look like a vampire, kinda ironic since garry oldman is in this movie,lol.

but bale is not a weak spot......i'll even say maggie gyllanamahall (sp?) >>>>katie holmes (obviously not in the looks department) but more believable in the role. nice swap out.

Nicholson > Heath still imo, but that's because I appreciate the goofy Joker role. That being said, I think Heath should get an oscar, he perfectly nailed this dark rendition of Joker. He was flawless.

Maggie Gylenhall was a great leading lady. She has the dark kinda ugly quality that was perfect for this movie.

Bale is a great Bruce Wayne, he still has that snobby Patrick Bateman feel which translates to a good Wayne. Good as Batman too, atleast better than Clooney and Kilmer at least  :P

I like the minimalist sound design for the flick, makes it very eerie when they're tearing up the city and it's so quiet around.

Love the actual demolition, not cgi for explosions. rare find these days.

Dent was a great role, and the make up was awesome. He didn't have the swag though to be a main villain for the next flick so good they killed him.

The end speech and message about a the city needed vs deserved was cool, but kinda corny.

They shoulda threatened Gordon's daughter instead of son, so she would be in our minds and a possible candidate for Harlequin in future roles, but oh well.

Anyway, loved the movie, I like 1989 better, but this is an insanely close 2nd place. Great movie.

Just saw it last night, and i can honestly say it is the best movie i have seen in a long long time. And being 20, i think it is possibly the greatest movie i ave ever seen at the cinema. HAd a feeling it was going to let me down as i had been looking forward to it for so long, but it didnt. Not one bit.

Everyone was fantastic, outside of Ledger and Eckhart, i would say Oldman was THE standout guy. Bale was excellent as well, both as Wayne and Batman, no complaints with anyone.

My only dissapointment (if u can call it that) was that originally i thought 2 face was dead, but after thinking about it and reading on here he might not be, im kinda happy. IMO a quarter of a film is no where near enough for 2 face, so i really hope he is in the third one. Maybe the public still love him, Batman is being portrayed as the cop killing psycho and Eckhart is the DA trying to track him down/ Murder him.

Oh and i defintely thought the comment about the cats was a hint to cat woman, hope im wrong though, never really liked her...

In the comics Gordons daughter Barbara is the first batgirl (i think) and later when Joker shoots her, and she ends up in a wheelchair, she becomes The Oracle (helping Batman with info and such)..

I had my problems with it. Still a great film. Still best super hero film ever so far. But there were things that really rubbed me the wrong way. The Batman/Joker convo in the that was lifted from Killing Joke doesn't work so well with out the years of history. Two Face was rushed and his Return of the Sith Darth Vader reasoning for going bad didn't do it for me. They should have had Dent be a bit more two faced from the beginning. Not so much a split personality but more a secret hatred for the world. They also should have had Dent play the Dawes character in both films. I still see no reason for Rachel Dawes. I also didn't buy Batman caring so much about Dent's reputation that he'd take the rap for killing Cops. But Batman turning villain-like for the public was a great idea and a great way to explain the title of the film. It was also a great way to introduce the real face of hope the people of Gotham need to go on; Superman. If a Bat/Supes film was ever ready to go now would have been the time. Too bad the Superman film sucked so much. DC should just do what Marvel did with Hulk.

I was wondering when you'd come in and diss a movie everyone else liked. Of course if this was the same movie but on an independent level, you'd praise it.


I loved the film. It was the best Batman thus far, by far. Joker was perfect in every sense. Bale nailed the Bruce Wayne parts this time around. The movie was incredible. I could write an essay on how great it was, but in that essay you'd find one small paragraph pointing out what I didn't like.

P.S. I don't see how a film of this type could ever work as an indy film. I certainly wouldn't praise it.



Nicholson > Heath still imo, but that's because I appreciate the goofy Joker role.


I guess that means Romero > Nicholson

That is a great movie! I was disapointed with the previous performance of Jack Nicholson, he was not psychotic enough, like a critic said next to Ledger his version looked like an angry Elton John lol!
Ledger brought a crazy performance, yet I would maybe have seen a little bit more of fantasy! But he really deserves an Oscar! Shame he won't be in the third!

Only quarm was the bit at the end didn't seem as smooth as the rest of the movie. After the girl dies the movie seemed to dip slightly but even that was real good.

I'd give it a 5/5 Can't wait to see Quantum of Solace now, it looks like it will live up to the standards of casino royal.

Those sense set up so much in the movie, and to a certain extent the sequel. If you didn't catch them, then yes maybe cool blowing up things maybe your cup of tea.

Aside from that, Dark Knight is a great movie, and the fact that it's even being discuse with Godfather is a huge complement to Nolan for creating a great movie.

If no dull moments mean better film then the best films of all time were the 80s action movies with Norris, Segal, Arnold, and Stallone. Maybe we're on to something. Cobra>>>>>>>There Will Be Blood.

Its a good action movie dont get me wrong but its nothing Ive never seen before ...

...a bank job...
...a car chase...
...mobsters and money...

The whole film was basically Batman chasing Joker and Joker outsmarting Batman...I found it good but boring. The only part that made me go, cool, was when Commissioner Gordon came back, that was good but the rest was so predictable.

Really? Two-Face's character arc had no importance to you in the movie?  Of course if you ignore how the Joker was trying to prove that we're all essentially evil and how he was able to turn a city hero into a villain but Batman was willing to sacrifice his reputation and himself just so that the city can remain hopeful in its future....I can see how it's just another action movie but the plot says otherwise.

I actually found Dent's character a bit of a waste of time. He was basically The Batman that the public knew about, the one willing to fight crime from the inside. But I think he could of been better used in a new, different Batman film. Of course he was going to be pissed when half of his face was burnt off. Just found it all a tad to obvious.
