Batman: The Dark Knight

[YellerDog]

Batman doesn't kill and he still didn't figure out The Joker at that point of the movie. His new suit still can't take a gun shot from a machine gun, i think. Especially, with him coming at him. Sure he could slow down, but lets say he stopped 10 feet from The Joker. The gun shot from the machine gun would have probably injured Batman ... real bad.

Then why not just do a Kaneda-stop past Joker and kick ass?

As is, he was all sorts of "Whoop! Now I'm knocked out and the Joker has the drop on me. This... this was a plan."

I say Dawson because I thought he'd rather fuck James Van Der Beek than a female.
okay, I fucked up the bitches name.

So you think a hitting a car from hundreds of feet up would be a softer hit than the ground ten feet up? Really?

Clearly you forgot about James T-Bird Gordon.

SSJN's complaints are a bit too pissy. I can understand not liking Gyllenhaal's performance / appearance or Bale's Batman voice, but that shit with the falling is just being a douche. It's a fucking movie, moron. He's Batman.

I mean really, did he want him to park the bat-pod in front of him and talk? I'd imagine he was thinking about running him over but changed his mind last minute.

Finally saw it last night on IMAX. I bought the tickets Sat and 10:30 Wednesday was the first available showing.

I'm not yet ready to rate it yet, but I'll say this... I never thought anyone could be the Joker other than Nicholson, until I heard Ledger was going to do it. So, I had high hopes.

All those hopes were met. R.I.P. Heath Ledger; that was a fantastic final performance.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Yes, he's the goddamn Batman. Movies of this ilk require a suspension of disbelief. However, little things can add up and chip away at that, and that's exactly what happened with this movie.
Just about everything with the Joker was awesome, but everything else stank.

[Mr-K]

So you can't believe that Batman, an obviously unstable fellow, was thinking of running over the Joker with his bike, decided against it at the last minute and skidded out of the way?

I mean the largest suspension of disbelief there is the man in a bat costume fighting a clown.

[Doc Holliday]

No. They're both crazy. That's realistic.

The only unfathomable suspension of disbelief was that Bruce Wayne could be hot for granma-face.

There's your next villain, back from the dead!

If he would have been like, AAAARRRRGGGHHH then shot his gun into the air a lot like Keanu in "Point Break", I would have bought that a little better.

Then why not just do a Kaneda-stop past Joker and kick ass?

This is what I'm saying. You act like there are only two choices. Run him over or crash the bike. I'm saying someone as trained and conditioned as the goddman Batman could have done something else.
