Just watched the Dark Knight :batman: (first showing ) ... all i can say is... Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Joker... after him the producers will have a hard time looking for someone to top Heath's performance.

isa lang ang corny na stunt/effect... tsaka ko na sabihin after everybody has watched it.

parang gusto ko ulitin hehehe sa imax naman...

So far the best of the BATMAN franchise. Good storyline, fluid scenes, nice dialogue, etc. As they say, critically acclaimed!

And

, Heath Ledger gave the best acting performance of his short movie career...it would be hard to top that performance....recurring role pa naman ang Joker character as the main nemesis.

Do they give out Oscars to dead folks?

Heath Ledger's acting and Two-Face make-up/CGI effect is enough to give nightmares for weeks. Also that "magic pencil" is baaadddd...Don't bring kids PERIOD

Galing ng bike. Lalo na yung wall headstand switch was WOW!

IMO Heath Ledger is better than Jack Nicholson. He's got that distinct voice that's really funny and yet evil. Nice punchlines too btw funny as hell :bwahaha:

The Lambo is such a waste though sayang.. :sigh:

Saw it last Saturday. More of the fine work started by Batman Begins -- and of course, Heath Ledger was phenomenal, especially in the scene where he first speaks to Gotham's criminal underworld. Batman's daring Hong Kong mission was really something else, mala-Mission Impossible. And the gun-wielding "Bat-posers" reminded me of "The Sons of Batman" in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Sayang lang, hindi ko naumpisahan yung bank heist sequence.

I was just caught off-guard by the movie's length; si misis dalawang beses nang nag-CR, ako ni-risk kong magkasakit sa bato.

Minor peeves:

- Did they really have to retain Rachel Dawes in the sequel? Katie Holmes was irritating enough in the first movie, and the way Maggie Gyllenhaal looks so much older doesn't help at all (I guess accelerated aging is a side effect of the Scarecrow's fear toxin). I'm actually glad they rectified that mistake later in the film.

- The Batmobile's display could have been programmed to use more, um, technical terms. "Damage Catastrophic"? WTF?!

- It never was explained how the Batpod came to be. Was it included in the Tumbler's original design, or was it a custom modification by Bruce Wayne himself?

- Is it just me or did Christian Bale's guttural Batman voice get more irritating? I imagine that it must be quite difficult for him to suppress his English accent, but Hugh Laurie does a far better job in House. Baka nasanay lang ako kay Kevin Conroy -- speaking of which, I thoroughly enjoyed his performances in Batman: Gotham Knight, with my favorite being the Deadshot episode. Siguro dapat pina-dub na lang nila kay Kevin yung mga linya ni Batman sa TDK.

Christian Bale and Gary Oldman have hinted that there are more than one Batman installments still waiting down the line, with Bale stating that he's not too keen on bringing the Robin character aboard AT ALL. Buti naman. :D

sakto, hehehe

i share your sentiments on:
1. yeah glad they got rid of Rachel... ang alam ko lang na love interest i Batman is Thalia, daughter of Ra's al Ghul... they even have a son Damian... well this story line comes in so much later

2. irritating nga yung boses ni Bale as Batman.

well at least they're trying to cure batman's Keatonitist...

as for robin, well if they do bring in the character, hope they bring in someone younger than Chris O' Donnell... robin is a kid about 10 or 12 not a teenager.

Nah, it's still too early to bring in Robin; I don't want WB to risk cheapening the franchise again.

Pero kung gusto nila ng twist, I say get a female Robin, parang si Carrie Kelly sa The Dark Knight Returns. Pwede si Dakota Fanning, she's about the same age as Kelly in the comics. :D
