There were a few moments where the BF and I seemed like the only ones in the theater that got the joke. I was also into that big wheeled motorcycle thing. I think the BF's favorite part was how the Joker kept telling all the scar stories.

My favorite part was BALE. BALE BALE BALE. And Michael Cain really added something good. I'm probably a sucker but I think my favorite part was when the guy did what the other guy "should have done 10 minutes ago."

I was also a fan of the guy snoring across the aisle from me for the last 20 minutes of the movie, and the guy on my row who ANSWERED HIS CELL PHONE.

Am I wrong or was there a Cillian Murphy cameo at hte very beginning?

Yeah, that was Cillian as the Scarecrow in the beginning which was nice, but just reminded me how Batman Begins didn't have as great of a villain as the Joker.

You might want to put a spoiler alert on this for the people who didn't go see it this weekend.

My two favorite parts were the disappearing pencil trick and the Joker dressed as a nurse walking away from the hospital with the detonator.

It was a great movie and even if he hadn't died, Heath Ledger would have stolen the movie from Bale. His Joker stands alone and will be the one all others are compared to.

I also loved when Bale made eye contact with the guy after the car wreck.

the scene where the guy is explaining to Lucious Fox that he wants 10 million to keep the secret..and the response: good luck with that.

Yeah, I did not see it yet. But I'm going to assume Batman wins. I wonder if Katie (Kate) saw it and then went home and made a Tom Cruise voodoo doll? I'd have kicked his Napoleon complexed ass down the stairs.

Um. You might want to write SPOILER ALERT on the before you click CONTINUE. Not all of us huddled with the masses this weekend.

Oh, Oh, Oh…How can you leave out the scene where the Joker, dressed as a nurse, does his crazy hunched walk thru the parking lot. Brilliant!!!

everytime heath ledger was on screen, i had a big smile on my face. he embodies psychotic in that film. unbelievably good.

when he's standing in the street "come on hit me, hit me."? sweet.

i want that batcycle. when he drove up the wall and flipped everyone in the theater clapped.

batman "delivering" the chinese dude was friggin sweet.

Okay, from what Leonard Maltin wrote on his web page, he obviously didn’t enjoy The Dark Knight. “All I know is that I didn’t have any fun at all watching the most anticipated film of the summer.”-Leonard Maltin
When i first herd that The Dark Knight was a 150 minute film, I was anticipating Maltin’s criticism towards the length. I guess I never took into account that the writer’s were also doing something different with this one. Sense Nolan and company tend to make the new batman movies grittier and darker, it really isn’t that surprising that critics who thoroughly enjoyed Batman Forever and Batman and Robin wouldn’t enjoy The Dark Knight. While Maltin did enjoy Batman Begins, giving it a ***/**** rating, The Dark Knight will most likely end up with a **/**** rating in Maltin’s Movie Guide. Then again he said he didn’t enjoy it at all so maybe he went so far as to BOMB it. We’ll probably have to wait until the 2010 edition to see his actual review.
Now if they did actually went in the direction I think they did, and I may be wrong at this point but, isn’t Harvey Dent depicted in this as having a split personality? Like in the comic books.
I just wish Maltin would at least give the makers credit for their efforts in creating characters based on what they were actually like in the old comic books.
I’m glad the shumacher reign ended and at the same time, i’m sad that it even began. Why did Joel feel the need to expose kids to close-ups of Batman’s butt?
And something I will never understand is that Leonard Maltin and some other critiques enjoyed Batman and Robin.
Batman Forever seemed okay at the time but when you think about it, that movie was a Lame and flamboyantly colorful misfire as well.
Leonard Maltin’s ratings for the batman movies:
Batman (1989) **1/2
Batman Returns (1992) **
Batman Forever (1995) ***
Batman & Robin (1997) **1/2
Batman Begins (2005) ***
I’m guessing for The Dark Knight (2008)
anywhere from *1/2 to **

-the joker's pencil trick
-"what doesn't kill you makes you…stranger"
-the batcycle doing that spin thing as he drove up a wall
-the joker's walk as he leaved the hospital
-WATCHMEN TRAILER!!!

*leaves

i'd also like to add that the dialogue more than met the movie's standards. gordon was portrayed so well, he's not perfect but he does his best and i liked that a lot.

Ooh! I loved The Joker's telling of how he got his scars, especially the first time.

Bale! dismantling the clown's shotgun when The Joker crashed the party.

Bale! riding the red motorcycle with the leather jacket…

When Gordon tells Batman that *he* needs to save Harvey… I love Gary Oldman.

When Aaron Eckhart finds his coin when he's in the hospital…

Really, I loved the whole damn thing. Going to see it again on Thursday.

And also, the Watchmen trailer, because that looked insane.

Heath Ledger was amazing in that movie. I also enjoyed the 'pencil trick'

I liked the 2 blatant CHASE placements. Or, I only saw 2.

on the same wavelength keebler that nurse scene was awesome. I keep thinking back to it.

Also when he gotout of the body/trashbag and broke the pool stick "make it fast"

first off when the joker sits down next to harvey and greets him "Hi" with that wig on hilarious!

-the mob scene where the joker comes in laughing in that insane way!

-the part where the accountant tries to blackmail batman! wtf…lol

oh and katie holms not being in it!

really the whole thing was really amazing!

enjoyed the entire joker/two-face conversation. HOW the joker convinces Dent that he is not too blame is pure psychotic genius. and that Dent believed him signaled that this was NOT the same Dent of the previous two hours.

joker: i'm like a dog chasing a car! even if i caught one i wouldn't know what to do with it!

The Joker rules!!!Heath Ledger stole the show although I thought all the actors were great. My favorite Joker moment was when he was holding Rachel out he window and Batman said "Let her go" and of course the Joker obliges and says "Bad choice of words" CLASSIC!!!!
And of course the Chase scene when he The Joker is in the Carnival truck shooting RPG's and then in the 18 wheeler went it flips. I said OH SH**!!!!
Very cool flick!!Going again this weekend.

now sara, that's just lazy.

before you gave us a whole backstory about whores dating basketball players. before posting your dating site link.

for those that cant read….there is a spoiler alert before you click on continue!

so hard to pick a fave scene. the joker dressed as the nurse was definately a great scene! disappearing pencil was awesome! oh, the whole thing really!

Kimber capitalized Chase.
Do you see what ads are doing to the public. :-p

Heath Ledger when he mouths the word 'six' with empathy and surprise, with regard to the number of friends of the policeman he killed.
