The Dark Knight (Batman)

17 Dec

The newest trailer for The Dark Knight has been leaked, and it is available for viewing and download here.

Let me make a couple of comments.

  1. Wow.
  2. Heath Ledger seems to pull off the Joker in “spades.” (I’m going to hell for that pun.)
  3. Christian Bale is perfect as Batman. He plays the role better than anyone else, including my personal favorite–Val Kilmer.
  4. The Joker seems to be the result of psychotic, self-mutilation, rather than an industrial accident. I’m not sure if this makes it creepier and more realistic or not.

This may be my early pick for the must-see picture of the summer.

    If you haven’t yet, go find the 6 or 7 minute preview they were showing in IMAX theatres.

    Got a URL for it? I can’t locate it.

    I agree with the above comments except for Heath Ledger as Joker. I’m neither wowed or bored by what little I am able to see, so I shall reserve judgement. Otherwise, I’ve penciled it in on the Movie List for ’08.
