Dark Knight

The new Batman movie will probably be the coolest so far. First, it won't have any of that origin stuff that some people had a problem with in Batman Begins. Despite the origin stuff being cool in my eyes, and somewhat accurate to the comics, a lot of people complain about it. Ra's al Ghul was an okay character, and it would be cool to see him come back in every other movie. The way he usually showed up behind all the major plots in the 90's cartoon. And if they start showing the Lazarus pit that would be even cooler. Okay, secondly, fuckin' Joker's in it. No more needs to be said. And it's rumored that this is going to be the crazy, psychopathic, throw an acid soaked pie in your face and then make fun of the result Joker. A darker Joker for a darker time. He's by far my favorite villain. Begins ruined Scarecrow when they had a real opportunity to make him awesome. I mean, they were close with the straitjacket at the end, but then he got tasered in the face and disappeared. So, you know he's probably locked up in Arkham in this new movie, but will he get darker than all the other villains (with the exception of Joker)? Who knows. All I can hope is that this Gotham will be the dark place that was always so scary for the citizens that they never really left the 50's. Batman's toys kept upgrading and then the citizens would be driving Studebakers. Still, I do know that I'm excited about the trailers I've seen.


This is the official trailer:




And these are two pretty good fan made trailers with some good footage of the new movie:





After that, I guess all that's left is to check out the IMDB page for the movie. A little more information:


(Plus, if anyone knows the brand of knife he's using in this picture, I'm interested in knowing.)
