Another of the films (8 Mile was the first) that I bought in exchange for a few acorns and dusty moths. And well worth such a sacrifice it was too! Thoroughly enjoyable 21st Century take on the saga, though in places near the end it too obviously lightens up in order to ease the transition to the 1989 film, which as we all now has a lightness of touch, a comic edge and a stylised finish, and is bloody marvellous as a result.
Understandable now why The Ladies (TM) fawn over Christian Bale, couldn't quite see it from American Psycho myself. And great to have The Dark Knight to look forward to, though Heath Ledger as The Joker? You've a lot to live up to, my floppy-haired-but-strangely-compelling actor friend.
But, I guess we'll get to hear Bale's Michael Keaton impression all over again :)

The short trailer and some footage shot hand held in an Imax of a longer glimpse at the new Joker suggests Heath Ledger may do the unthinkable and kick Jack's arse from here to the top of Gotham Cathedral.
I really enjoyed this one. They portrayed Batman well. Not as a superhero, but more of a vigilante. Just some totally bad ass man that doesn't have any superpowers. I like how the whole movie was kinda dark as well... Looking forward to the next one.
Watched the trailers on YouTube last night. Tony, you may be right. Ledger even looks more like the Joker than Jack, and he's got the laugh nailed.
Couldn't agree more Monica!
