Ever since I saw the ending of Batman Begins where we are shown a playing card with a joker on it, I have been highly anticipating this sequel in the Batman franchise.  I am a huge fan of the Batman comics and have always thought that the Joker was one of the best villains.  Now we have a movie that pits the madness of the Joker against the madness of the Batman.  What’s not to get excited about?  (Yes, I know that Tim Burton did the Batman vs. Joker thing back in 1989.  I was excited for it back then too.)

The Dark Knight is probably the best movie based on a comic book that I have ever seen.  There was so much that was good about it that what was bad is inconsequential.  Here are a few of my thoughts on the movie.  Warning!  Minor spoilers ahead!

I’m a huge Batman fan. I have always loved the comics and cartoons and I thought that the movies were great until Joel Schumacher got his grubby, Batman destroying fingers on them. I can’t express the relief that I felt when Christopher Nolan actually did a good job with Batman Begins.

Now it looks like there’s going be another success in the Batman universe with the upcoming movie, The Dark Knight. The trailers have been very impressive and the images that have come out have looked good. To be honest, Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker scares the crap out of me. I can’t wait for this movie!
