Perhaps most do not care about the conventions of plot and narrative and certainly The Dark Knight is beautiful to behold and technically brilliant. And, Heath Ledger's jaw manipulating make-up wearing dirty hair teasing performance is Shakespearean in its ambition and creepiness. But, why is it that the story is so confused, what happens to the Asian fellow? Why to we have to watch the DA flip that darn coin (or coins) so many darn times? Does the fact of of the girl's death really justify the DA loosing his nut given that he is the one most incorruptible? This was a great amusement ride but unfortunately it was a tad too long.
