The Dark Knight

holy crap, it was amazing!
heath ledger was the best part about it, i loved his part as the joker, maybe not AS good as jack nicholson's portrayal in the originals, but amazing nevertheless.
i loved the whole

pencil disspearing into the guy's head 'trick'

and the batcar/bike thing. especially when batman

drove straight into the wall and turned around

ah, it was such a good film, a little too long perhaps, but i loved every second of it.
while not THE best film i have seen this year, (iron man was so much better imo, but i reckon that's because i LOVE iron man) it is definitely one of the best.

Nicholson was only in Tim Burton's first as he dies at the end. I much preferred Heath's Joker, the interpretation of the character was just so much darker and evil.

As good as Iron Man was, I feel that The Dark Knight crushed it, the story was just told so much better, and the performances of Heath and Eckhart blew Downey Jr. away.

The Joker was played perfectly! Sadistic, Evil that slight comedy but also very smart.

Nicholson was beaten. Dark Knight has crushed every comic book film to date. :P

Do you think if heath ledger was still alive they would include the joker in the next film?

Yes. But as much as the Joker doesn't look like Heath Ledger, they should not recast the character in another sequel now that he is dead.

yeh i was gonna say, i saw a picture of heath ledger on his imdb, and i couldn't believe it was him. i always imagined him to be older, like early 30s kind of old.
nah, they should never recast his character in this imagining of batman. maybe if another director took up the challenge in another decade or so time.

i heard that david tennant has expressed interest in being the riddler in the third one. i reckon he could pull it of superbly

David Tennant, NO. Riddler, NO. I hate Tennant and I hate the character The Riddler.

Heath blew Nicholson's performance out of the water IMO.

I like the ridder, He's the question mark guy isn't he?

DT couldn't pull that role off, not in a million years.

I actually want to see it again now
