SPOILERS FOR THE DARK KNIGHT

[iluvroadrunner6]

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.
