So Iâ€™m curiousâ€¦.why do you consider Cesar Romero the definitive live version?

You have read the comics that influenced the TV series, right?

kudos to the makers Dark Knight for their record breaking opening weekend… it’s no wonder there’s talk of another one coming out ASAP

I found Ledger’s performance immensely unnerving (in a very good way). It was helped by the music…which was almost not music but just this droning noise. The combination made the Joker’s presence intensely disturbing (again, in a good way).

Yep. It bumped into my Top 10, too. And like you, maybe even top 5. It was that good. As Morrison said on his blog earlier this week – it is to action/comic films what Watchmen was to comics.

A new level. Makes Ledger’s death that much more depressing – he really shines in the film.

Oops! I fixed it and added Goyer in. Thanks for the heads-up.

Why is it that everyone discounts Goyer’s involvement in coming up with the story for this movie? If I were David, I’d have a complex by now.

The only misstep for this film was in marketing, not in the actual finished product. In the last week, they rolled out commercials with more scenes…one of which could potentially spoil an important beat in the flick. Thankfully, the filmmakers had me so enthralled that I thought that commercial had to have just been a fake out to keep people from figuring things out before the film opened.

There were moments in which I was honestly surprised by what I was seeing on film, an unusual sensation when watching a superhero film.

TOTALLY. I am still stunned at some of the decisions made, by both screenwriters and characters… and that they had the guts to make them. There’s no going back after this one.
