I might have to go see it again.
Here is what I mean about the music... Shirley Walker's mature evolution of Danny Elfman's theme to the original batman was pure genious and what's more, the eery apprehensive music FITS the Dark Knight well. HERE IS PROOF:
TDK - Shirley Walker's 1993 Theme
TDK - Shirley Walker's 1992 Theme

Much of the film was shot within a few blocks from our loft. These are some crappy pics from the shooting of the opening scene.
The film was being shot under the alias of "Rory's First Kiss".
The turned the old post office into Gotham National Bank.
You can see the school bus inside the bank...
The rigging for the zip line across the street...
And the beginning of my own chase scene as security called in the cops to get rid of me...the heli was shooting at this point.
I played hide and seek in a parking garage with them before ducking into the tunnels tht connect to Union Station. It was good for a rush.

What time are you going? Are they sold out? I was thinking about blowing out of work on Monday afternoon to check it out again, but this time on IMAX...
If it is early enough, I could make it. I have a party to go to tomorrow at 5:30PM, but if it ran over, I could make up some excuse...
EDIT: looks like they still have tickets for 12:20 and 3:40...I could make the 12:20.Last edited by PowTron; 07-25-2008 at 09:11 AM.

Seriously, the whole concept of the IMDB top 250 is total shit. Sure, it gives you a general idea, but for films like this the voting is totally swayed by the thousands of Batman fanboys abusing the system. I'm not saying this wasn't a good film - it's definitely on my top 10 and I just went to see it again last night for the 2nd time, and I can honestly say that Heath Ledger's performance was the best acting I've ever seen (not something I say lightly). In the same sense, I think the movie has been viewed by many as a Ledger tribute, and in response all go on IMDB and vote 10 because they feel sympathetic. Like I said before, Ledger's performance was absolutely kick-ass, but this being the best film ever made? I don't think so.

I dunno - they really did leave that open-ended. There's being a lot of talk on various forums regarding casting a new Joker (Johnny Depp, Daniel Day Lewis etc), which I can't even imagine. Personally, I don't think the role could ever be replicated and that Ledger really set a new bar...if they did recast, everyone would constantly be comparing the role to Ledger which I think would really degrade the entire experience. The thing with the Joker is that he's Batman's arch-nemesis, so I'm sure they originally planned to have him around for a couple of movies at least...but who knows. I'm sure Nolan'll come up with something.

holy shit, that was the best movie I've seen for ages. Ledger stole the show every time he was on screen. Dark humour done perfectly. I've never loved a bad guy more. It was brilliant how human they managed to keep him while being a supervillain, and every plot twist and turn was so intelligently done.
I do think that the length dilutes some amazing performances, and I think they could of used Aaron Eckheart/Harvey Dent as the leadin to another movie rather than the route they chose, but like someone said earlier - can't complain, more length meant more awesome.
The only possible complaint I had was towards the end I was left not caring what Batman was saying and wishing he'd clear his fucking throat.

I thought Heath Ledger's performance was amazing. The rest of the movie? It was a good comic book/action flick, but not really my favorite by any means. Absolutely worth seeing though.

DG and I saw it last night.
I've been trying to place this move with other "action" movies that show the dark side of humanity. I believe this movie to be the equal or better of Silence of the Lambs but not quite in the same league as Apocalypse Now. Ledger's performance does diserve to be classed in the same league as Hopkin's Hannibal Lecter or Brando's Kurtz."Great barbecue makes you want to slap your granny up the side of her head." - Southern Saying

Saw it today with my brother and a buddy of his. It really is one of the great films out there. Ledger´s presence made me think of Klaus Kinski in Nosferatu (1979). He was that good, maybe better.
