The Dark Knight

We finally saw The Dark Knight. Indeed, it is a shame that Heath died as his Joker was spot-on to the agent of chaos that he is to me. Two-Face as an agent of chance was also very nicely done – much better than Tommy Lee Jones’ version; he can be good or evil based on the coin flip – and no take backs.

I thought it was very well done. I didn’t like the first one as much, but this one does progress the series nicely. I like the idea that the movies are pretty tightly timed together. Someone could do what Batman does, but would have a correspondingly shortened time-span – maybe 5 to 10 years at most – before all the minor and major aches would catch up to him.

With Heath gone, someone could take up the Joker mantle, or they could bring Harvey back.
I’m thinking the next one should have Riddler or Hugo Strange with a side story with Catwoman, now that they freed up his love interest.

It’s definitely worth seeing if you haven’t already. It’s a close second for best movie of the year – Iron Man still holds up better for handling the origin story well inside the normal story arc.
