WHY HEATH, WHY?

All I could do while I was walking out of the theater was all the combinations of villains and not-villains that could have been played with his fantastic Joker, and now is never going to happen because Heath has since passed. Because oh, Lord, Harley Quinn. They better find a fantastic Joker and a fantastic Harley for both of them. I demand it.

I have to admit, I had my doubts about Heath topping Jack Nicholson, who had been amazing, but I really do think he did it on this one. I think Nicholson played the Joker as a bit too comical for my taste, where Heath was just insane and that was so fantastic.

I also have to admit that I didn't see Rachel's death coming, and it made me kind of sad. I certainly wasn't a fan of Katie Holmes' version of Rachel, but when it was Maggie -- I dunno. And I liked what she stood for for Bruce (Every hero needs their Mary Jane or Lois Lane, ya know?). So the fact that she's gone? Makes me sad.

Also, I did not see Harvey's death coming. And I hope what I heard from

polkadotsnplaid is true, and that it was ambiguous enough to bring Aaron Eckhart back, because I think I want to have Aaron Eckhart's children, or something. His performance was fantastic, and the way they incorporated all the elements of Two Face in throughout the movie was just fabulous and I'm hoping hoping hoping that Two Face isn't really dead.

And Jim BAMF Gordon with his fake death and his coming back was just so absolutely fantastic. I want my own Jeff Gordon. I really, really do.

As for Christian Bale -- he looks really, really pretty on a motorcycle. And in suits. And I. Want. One.

lol, wait Commish Gordon's first name is Jeff? Ahahaa that's awesome.

Actually, no, his name is Jim. I just got the two names confused. *embarassed*

um Gordon's first name is Jim. =)

and they better not kill off Harvey Dent, because that's just ridic.

*facepalm* I knew that. I really did.

I KNOW. I really thought he was going to be the villain for the next movie but now I'm not so sure.

I had the same thoughts about the new Joker. Really I liked this one the best, because really, the Joker is supposed to be insane, not funny like Caesar Romero but that was the 60's. Jack Nicholson had a little bit of the insanity going but this was just much better. I also liked the explanation for the Joker's smile better too.

I liked Harvey Dent a lot (despite that he reminded me a little bit of Brad Chase. Maggie was much much better than Katie Holmes. I'm kind of sad she's gone too.

I loved how he kept changing it. It really kept true to what I've been reading about the comic book canon where the Joker really has no backstory. He's just this guy who appeared.

I have a huge soft spot a mile wide for Maggie Gyllenhall. So it made me happy that it was her performance Rachel went out on, rather than Katie's.

When I saw The Dark Knight, I saw it with my best friend, who is, like me, in love with Heath Ledger. We also happen to be big Harry Potter fans. So the minute they killed (or at least, appeared to have killed) Sirius Black, we grabbed each other and were sad for the next, like, half hour until he came back.

I agree that Heath was absolutely perfect. Actually, another thing that made me incredibly sad was that they didn't say what happened to the Joker - you could tell that they were trying to leave the ending ambiguous, so that they could bring back the Joker.

I think that they could probably find someone to do a great job with the part, but it makes me really sad that we'll never get to see Heath do it again.

And I was crushed when I thought they killed Jim Gordon. He's such a staple in the Batman canon, I couldn't believe that they were really killing him off.

WASNT IT EPIC?! *FLAIL*

Also: HHHHEEEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

EXTREMELY EPIC. EPIC IN WAYS THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.
