I know im not the only one who felt all the Batman flicks were childish, unrealistic, and ghastly flashy. I hated them.
The first movie was the only one remotely close to what we all would hope for in a Batman movie but even that one was not exactly what we wanted.
I just seen this latest movie and finally they got it right. First off its realistic. And when I say realistic I mean it follows the same action sequences as other movies and not gay henchman doing cartwheels and shit in the street.
Second, Heath Ledger played the Joker to perfection. Not only did he have a great look to him but it was believable(unlike Nicholason). His acting was astonishing and he really "owned" the character. It was also refreshing that the joker didnt cackle every 5 seconds and they only reserved that for where it was needed.
Thirdly, they really touched upon the fact that batman is really a heroic vigilante in a way more profound then in the other movies.
But the Joker really made this movie and its sad to realize Heath is no more.
The Jokers interaction with the criminals, police, and batman was right on.
A truly bad ass not to be fucked with.
