Yeah, the movie was good and Ledger was awesome. Eckard's performance flew under the radar because he was excellent as well. BUT...

Spoiler

Why did they keep The Joker alive? He did all that crazy stuff and they just string him up and take him back into custody? I don't get it. Were they planning a sequel with him before he died? Or was there something I missed?

Joker was amazing and the movie was great.

It was to display the main difference between The Joker and Batman. Batman is good and doesn't kill, so why should that change for anyother man

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

Think I'm going to see it for the third time at 12:20, but don't know if they'll still have tickets. Couple of friends and I are planning on heading down and getting tickets to whatever the closest show is.

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

I've been thinking a little bit, and for potential villains in Batman 3:

Spoiler

I've already mentioned how Catwoman may be the next villain, but there's still potential for somebody else. Remember Mr. Reese, the guy that was going to blackmail Batman? Well, spell it out and say it slowly... Mister Reese. Misssterrrreeese... mysteries.

Does anyone think this could be the birth of The Riddler?

Saw this last night, I wanted to cry. What a beautiful performance by not only Heath Ledger, but the whole cast! No doubt The Joker stole the show but wow! Beautiful!

Spoiler

The Riddler's name is Edward Nigma (E.Nigma), so I don't think they would change it to put him in the next one as Mr. Reese

Spoiler

I am wondering if catwoman could be a villain in part three. Fox made a comment when he was showing Wayne the new body armor. :Might not protect you from dogs, but you are certainly safe from Cats.

Saw this movie last night. I am completely blown away. I think I will see it two more times in the theater. Heath Ledger does deserve an Oscar for this.

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

I guess you guys are right. I was just trying to connect more than I guess I could.

I think I'm seeing it again later today, so looks like it will be another good day!

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

Just got back from seeing this afternoon. Like everyone has said, it was a masterpiece. There are pieces of the film that will stick with you long after you leave. Every time The Joker wasnt on the screen, you found yourself wanting him to get back as quickly as possible.

Some movies require a second screening to catch what you may have missed, this requires a second viewing to take in what ends up being an awesome movie. Even with all the hype, and astronomical expectations, i still came out impressed and in awe. I figured Ledger and his performance was more a result of his tragic passing than his skill as an actor portraying the joker, but it wasnt. He didnt portray the joker, he WAS the joker, truly brilliant

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

Ledger was fantastic. He was going to rack up at the Oscar's regardless, but he deserves every single one of them.

Great, great movie.

Spoiler

Oh, and the reason the Joker didn't die is because he was a recurring villain in the comics. Whenever something went wrong in Gotham, somehow or another, it could always be traced back to the Joker. I'm not sure what they will do now that Ledger is no longer with us... maybe just hint towards the Joker being behind things?

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

Christopher Nolan said that if he were to do another movie he wants a villain never used in a previous movie.
