I also agree. Ledger's Joker is far, FAR superior.

OH. MY. GOD.
That's all I can say. This movie was just about one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was amazing -- Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart were both wondrous additions to the cast, but Heath tops them all... sad that he can't come back and amaze us again.
GOSH I WANT A SPOILER THREAD.
I wonder if anyone made one while I was gone.

Bale portrays Bruce Wayne as an egotistical dick, I don't really like that. And his Batman voice is pretty terrible, there were a couple intense scenes where him talking brought me out of the moment.
Only negatives for me... that and I kind of lost the plot towards the end. Pretty much the best superhero movie I've seen so far... still have to see The Hulk though.

Batman/Bruce Wayne is sort of an egotistical dick, isn't he? I mean that's how I always remember Batman being from the many portrayals I've seen him in. >.>
EDIT: And it isn't like he's unjustified in some respects; the Batman has saved Gotham City how many times? That's bound to go to someone's head, even if they're a bit jaded.

Bruce plays an egotistical dick to the public, its part of his millionaire playboy cover, hes not very egotistical when he's with those who know hes Batman.

Exactly. Why the other movies played him as a publicly shy philanthropist, I don't know.

Yes! Bruce Wayne is suppose to be the spoiled rich kid that everyone hates. To the public he is a man who won the sperm jackpot and was born into one of the most powerful families in the world. Instead of really using his power for "the people" (beyond his occasional charity events) he uses it for his own self gratification. Women, parties, going on long random vacations. He's basically a hedonistic asshole in the comics who only occasional throws charity events to get some good publicity. Atleast thats how I have always thought Bruce has wanted the public to see him as.
I mean if there was a real "Batwoman" in this world who would expect Paris Hilton to be her? I think its basically the same idea.

Wow. Heath Ledger is dead. =(
All of a sudden that saddens me.
The Dark Knight. - Kazuya - 07-22-2008
You're late.
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-22-2008
Not really. I wasn't a fan of his work until now.
Don't hate on me.
The Dark Knight. - Kazuya - 07-22-2008
I'm not hating on you, I'm hating with you.

I never saw him in anything, actually. I still wanna see Brokeback Mountain though. Other than that, he had a reputation for picking the wrong movies.
Wasn't he Casanova?

He picked projects that were interesting and unique to him. He didn't want to do the same thing over and over again.
I'd say that was a winning philosophy, as it netted him the role of the Joker. Honestly, I questioned his ability to do it, but he laid all my doubts to rest when I saw the trailers, and made me repent for ever doubting him when I saw the movie.
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-24-2008
I feel bad too, I doubted him like a sumbitch. And the fact that he essentially died getting into character just made me feel horrible. That's what it's all about, he was obviously the real deal.
The Dark Knight. - Talys - 07-24-2008
Yeah...odd question, but do you think that Nolan feels guilty about the whole ordeal?
The Dark Knight. - Jack - 07-24-2008
I doubt it. Not to mean he's a jerk, it's just not his fault.
