I'm really trying to avoid spoilers, which is why the only things I've read in the past weeks are no-spoiler reviews. I haven't even entered the "Dark Knight: Current status" thread for potential spoilers 😂

so i can.. do stuff... shock

Having "Brokeback Mountain" fantasies, huh?

Guys, Last night I saw a preview screening of TDK, don't worry, I'm not gonna give any spoilers but I will say a few things.

About 30 min. into the movie you tend to forget its a comic book movie, and start to see it as a crime movie. Its truly an epic experience. The Acting on all parts is pitch perfect. Heath Ledgers Joker is chilling. I can laugh off R rated gore fests but there were a few scenes in this movie that had me cringing. This is the most down to Earth comic movie I have ever scene.

I give it a 10/10. This is not only quite possibly my favorite comic movie ever, but one of my ALL TIME favorites

This is the best DC movie ever!!

Is it really better than the comic book classics?

Superman?

The Crow?

Sin City?

Spider-Man?

X-Men 2?

300?

And is it actually as good as the crime classics?

Godfather?

Scarface?

Goodfellas?

Heat?

Taxi Driver?

I really want to know if Jett's hype is for real... He's going saying it's one of the best crime movies and I'm really thinking that's BS... So I just want someone who's seen the movie to clear this up...

The Dark knight is, in my humble opinion, the very best comic book movie I have ever seen.

I never thought that a movie could be made to top Sin City.

I was wrong.

Heath Ledger's performance was utterly captivating from beginning to end. He was truly a gifted actor, even if I was not shaken up by his untimely death.

I sometimes forgot that I was watching a comic book film, and found myself clenching my fists and toes at times during the movie. The Dark Knight shines so bright that I feel it's influence will affect future comic book films and how they are written/made.

This movie is god-like. 🙂

I though Begins changed how comic book movies are made...I was wrong

Nolan is the only one able to out-do himself...

I just came back from seeing it and dammit this movie was awesome. For the first time I understand why the Joker is Batmans worst enemy, Why hes truly Bats counterpart. I never took the Joker seriously until tonight. What a great performance! Heath Ledger took the ball and ran with it all the way to heaven(hopefully). Ill take his version over Nicholson's any time.

Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, too.

Will see how Sin City 2 fares

The Dark Knight has set the bar pretty high

Did anyone else gather the allusions to Jeph Loeb's story "The Long Halloween" during the movie?

"I believe in Harvey Dent".

Bats, Dent, and Gordon all on the rooftop?

I don't know much about "The Long Halloween"... but I saw "The Killing Joke" here and there

What the Joker did to Harvey... using Rachel...what he does to the city, to prove that everyman can do the wrong thing, and turn themselves into a madman... his many "origins" stories... and somehow Batman and the Joker dialogue at the end... the two of them going at each other forever...(until one of them dies)

... though I've been told to read "The Long Halloween" many times before... I would do so

Yeah, a lot of the movie reminded me of The Long Halloween (which was a good thing).

I'm not a comic book fan myself but I have been told (by Matt) about them alot. The Dark Knight was the BEST comic adaptaion I've EVER seen!

Spiderman, X-Men, Sin City, Spawn, and yes even Hellboy aint got sh*t on the Dark Knight.

Ledgers performance was amazing! I truly feel he did a better adaptaion of the Joker than Nicholson. Nicholson did a great job as The Joker but Ledgers performance was utterly mind blowing! His laugh and his voice was crazy. I think we might go...hell what am I saying...we will go see this movie again and again!

I loved the "magic trick"
