A Joker's movie

Miller... This is not what you wrote... This is meant to be Comics, a children's turnpage.. And to Christopher Nolan, You couldn't have wanted to do this, turning a comics into a chaotically brilliant movie... The handover from the comics to the big screen was emphatic, yet this is batman movie right? where is the fun?

I dont think that the Batman movie would ever be fun to watch, take your family to the hall. Just happened to watch The Dark Knight.. A psychotic performance from Heath Ledger, well to say the truth, it's even better than brokeback mountain. If you are expecting the Story here, Sorry pal, Hit the Broadway... Its more fun there... If you happen to watch it in DVD, turn the subtitle off and try to watch the movie rather than read those pathetic subtitle, you'd miss the best part of Heath Ledger.
Well, the movie has Alfred, tha batman's butler, and the Fox(Morgan freeman, what a waste!!!), and Harvey Dent.....

Christian Bale does it well as Bruce wayne and his alter-ego vigilante, Batman. Kudos, great work dude...
Heath Ledger, up in heaven/hell, what are you planning upto... Ledger has portrayed the Insanity_is_the _start_of_Joker so psychotically, it nearly seemed he enjoyed every bit of that role. Should have been so hard to relive the chaotic, brilliant, intelligent, has one's own twisted logic that people, so called civilized, are as sick as he is in dire situations, yet he done it perfectly well. The batman doesn't need any acting skills, leave him to his gizmos and gadgets. It is the personification of the Joker, that needs tremendous effort to characterize the character.
Other than that, the Christopher Nolan has taken the movie to another level, so different from a typical comics_to_bigscreen. Good visual effects, Briiliantly choreographed action, well the movie was not exactly the one I thought to be.
Some thought provoking/interesting quotes from the movie......


You'll see, I'll show you, that when the chips are down, these uh... civilized people, they'll eat each other.

The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules!

See, I'm not a monster...I'm just ahead of the curve

See, I'm a man of simple tastes. I like dynamite...and gunpowder...and gasoline! Do you know what all of these things have in common? They're cheap!

Can you avenge evil and not become it?

To me the best batman villain was
Jim Carrey as Riddler and now Heath Ledger too ...

I feel more than any comics Batman has more scope for the villain roles.
