The Dark Knight reviews and reactions. Caution, spoilers galore

[Billy Rickey]

Can anybody please tell me why DC Comics is just going to sit by and watch Christopher Nolan turn Batman in to a fussy? Batman is supposed to have no limits but he will not kill. I hope they don't come out with a third one because look what he has done to the last two movies.

[Show spoiler]He killed Two-Face and he wasnt in the movie for an hour.

You should put spoiler tags on your last sentence. [s p o i l e r] text [/s p o i l e r].

Many haven't seen this yet. So I take it you didn't like either of the movies (Batman Begins or Dark Knight)?

Nolan is making Batman into a little witch with feelings

[Show spoiler]who cares about the bad guys more than he does the good guys. At the end he takes the blame for something he did not even do I mean if Batman going to take the blame for killing cops but he does not want to kill the bad guys.

you don't see anything wrong with that. And I never said I did not like the last two movies I just don't like what Nolan is doing with the Batman series.

I don't frequent the Batman comic books (for some time now) but I don't know of

[Show spoiler]him ever killing anyone (at least purposefully)

in the comics. Can you point me to

[Show spoiler]some kills he's had?

It seems out of character.

[Show spoiler]Batman takes the blame for killing the CROOKED COPS to instill fear BACK into the criminal populace who had become unafraid since they realized Batman has "rules". Makes perfect sense. Batman is now hated by the police force and most of Gotham. While the criminals fear him. He now only has a few who know his true intentions.

My favourite line has to do with dogs, cars, and the chase!

I thought it was a good movie and very worth the price of admission, but not sure i'm ready to christen it the greastest movie ever made like many on here. I will say that the Joker performance was legendary and it's not just because dude isn't with us anymore. I even told a friend before seeing it that they probably hyped him up because he's passed like they do with everyone else that dies. Well, negative on that as this performance is one for the ages. My only complaint with this movie is that they tried to shove too much clever plot situations into one movie, hence the three hour show. I would have been fine with them having a show down at the two hour mark and starting the next movie from there. I'm sure that people that have seen it know what i'm talking about. All in all though, very good movie.

something like, "Its like a dog chasing a car, he wouldn't know what to do once he caught it" but i think i'm a little off.

I also liked "I'm gonna make this pencil disappear"

[rpneuss]

Surely I can't be the only one who got a little annoyed with the way batman talked at times in this flick can I? I don't remember it bothering me as much in Batman Begins, but at times I really couldn't understand him very well.

First I have read alot of the Batman comics it's just it's been a long time I mean just don't sit around all day and read. i work all week from 7am to 8pm sometimes even longer than that. This is the first time in months I have a day off.

[Mxr5150]

Pure and simple, the movie was a solid 10, just perfect! I need to see it again, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie and was excited in the theater in a way like no other movie has done before. It blasted away my expectations, and I can't wait to see what this weekend's numbers pull in. On top of all that, I am by no means a fan of Heath Ledger, and he was phenominal!

Hey now! I ain't some geek who just sits around readin' comics all day either! I haven't bought a new comic in 10 years, but I still remember the stories and characters I used to enjoy. That's why I can appreciate a Batman who doesn't kill more than one who does. I was actually very upset when he killed The Joker in Tim Burton's version!

[Show spoiler]Concerning the apparent death of Two-Face (it STILL upsets me if he is indeed dead. I'm having trouble accepting it.), it was a desperate move to keep him from killing a child. Batman didn't set out to kill him. Only to stop him.

Exactly. This is why

[Show spoiler] he keeps going back and forth in the movie and why he talks about hanging it up.

Because he says "I know what it would take to bring guys like him down" and he won't do it because he has rules and the Joker doesn't at all.

[Blu-Light]

Saw it last night. C+ Maybe a B-. It's over hyped.

[neckedness]

I'm not a Batman fan. The trailer doesn't look too exciting. I'll just wait for blu-ray or DVD.

have you never read batman comics? only in the more recent ones does he act like a complete loon and kill a bunch of criminals... just because nolan is keeping to the original batman character does not make it a bad movie.

he didn't kill the joker in Tim Burtons movie. He tried to save him and wasn't able to.

[tntkain]

I have not saw the movie myself, my son did though and he says it was the BEST movie he has ever seen. Better than Iron Man, better than Spiderman, better than Tranformers. Of course Batman has always been his favorite

[PS3-Playb3yond]

I'm going tonight to watch it.

Not what I saw. It wasn't a deliberate act, like pushing him off of a rooftop, but he attached his leg to a statue as he was hanging from a helicopter's ladder. Anyone coulda forseen what was to come. In the comics Batman woulda found a better way (albeit, a more expensive maneuver to pull off stunt-wise for 1989) to nab The Joker. No one was in immediate danger, Batman didn't have to resort to potentially lethal force. That's my gripe is all. I just HATE when they kill off villains who haven't died in the comics. It really fries my hash!

And Blu-Light, what about the trailer DOESN'T look like it has some great action?! Didja notice the semi being flipped forward?! I'm a self-confessed action junkie and I can tell you this movie gave me MY fix! I'm seein' it again! Unfortunately the IMAX near my home shut down last September and the closest one after that is well over an hour away. I can't make it that far with gas at 4 bucks a gallon! Maybe in 1996 when gas was 89 cents, but not now!
