It was pretty dark but great and follows the theme of the day in Hollywood right now, your favorite character + the dark side of their personality. It was a good movie and Heath, the joker, is great. There is one scene where he laughs on a video and it is so perfect, it is actually a tribute to the original Joker (from the TV series). My only beef probably is that Maggie G is just not that hot to me and I miss the Kim Basinger style of character from B1. I have yet to figure out who would have been more "believeable" yet so I can't bark too much. Otherwise, a great movie and a great combination of reality and comic book.
