You mean the magic trick with the pencil?:icon_lol:
when that happened me and my mate at each other and i knew he was thinking the same thing I was: He IS The Joker!
Best film I've seen in the last couple of years, not sure if I'd give it a 10/10 though, mainly because Bale's voice when he was Batman irritated the hell out of me!
I agree about Ledger. Now, I've always rated him as an actor, but I was concerned the hype over his role was contributed to greatly by his death. After all, Nicholson's Joker was superb in Burton's Batman.
However, Ledger was simply brilliant. His Joker was a lot more faithful to the comics(which I sadly used to read lots of when I was younger!:icon_redf) Whereas Nicholson's Joker was witty and entertaining, he also loved himself. And at times you could imagine him getting scared and worried. But Ledger's Joker just didn't give a shit. He didn't care if he lived or died and was violent in such a carefree way that you could tell he wasn't scared of anything,even death.
The way the film ended left it wide open for The Joker to be in the third film but how can anyone top that? I don't know who could step into Ledger's shoes and produce a show-stealing performance that outdoes what I saw monday night.
All of the accolades given him for this film HAVE been deserved, not because he is dead, but because he was a superb actor.
And no matter what people think of the way he died, it saddens me that someone with so much talent in the acting world will never reach the status he would, imo, have gotten to. A waste of life that could've, should've entertained millions for many years to come.
Anyhoo as for the rest of the film.:icon_roll
SPOILER!
Glad the bint died. She did my head in. Wish Harvey Dent had been given more screen time, but some rumours are he DIDN'T die. Not sure on the high level of chase seasons etc Batman was involved with either, I always thought of him as a reluctant hero who stayed out of the way doing his thing as much as possible, certainly not doing so much in the public view that he did anyhoo!
All in all, well worth the cinema fee, well worth the numb bum(though I thought the time flew by) and roll on the third film! It's gonna have to be something speical to top the first two of nolan's Batman films!
Will watch it again on dvd tomorrow.:icon_lol:
edit: ooh forgot me rating!! 9/10
