The Dark Knight the new comic book movie standard

I don’t think I have ever seen a movie that is suppose to be a comic book movie not be anything like what a comic book movie is suppose to be and in this case that’s a great thing. The Dark Knight is as far removed from Batman Begins as Batman Begins was from the 80’s & 90’s Batman Movies. It is a delve into the dark side of human nature. Keith Ledger performance as “the Joker” was outstanding and after seeing this movie I can almost see how the Character he played may have consumed him and possibly led to his death. The Joker is truly a psychopath in this movie he kills who ever get in his path and is out to prove that there is no hope in true humanity. As is the case in life the fine line between brilliance and insanity is a thin one and the Joker shows that as well with his terroristic mind games. Keith really steals the show with not only his attitude but also his mannerisms the joker has a sort of crick in his neck and a dark stare of a soulless man with the spark of insanity to be quite honest its so real its disturbing. The Joker also as a lot of wise cracks in the movie which are subdued but funny. (Spoiler Alert) He has one were him and the Batman are face to face and he tells Batman he completes him….hilarious. Over all I have to agree that Keith Ledger deserves at the very least an Oscar nomination. The other thing I liked was that the movie was shot in Chicago and there were no sets. Gotham is seen this time mostly in the daylight and shown as actual city. This really helps with the believability and brings a sense of realness to the movie. The movie is so well written that there were times when I forgot I was watching a Batman movie. I am 12 hours removed from seeing it and I am still digesting it. I plan on seeing it again because for one it’s well worth it and two I know there are some things I missed and I have to know. The Only downside to the movie is this is really not a Kids movie and parents really should note the PG-13 warning it could cause nightmares even in adults. The Dark Knight is a super hero Movie in a category all by it self and I would say once the dust has settled from this that it will one of those movies that redefines how comic book movies should be done.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
