I FINALLY saw The Dark Knight with a few friends last night. I was a huge fan of Batman Begins, but Christopher Nolan exploded my mind in TDK.
Some thoughts (SPOILERS for TDK):
1. I really loved how "The Dark Knight" can apply to Batman and Two-Face. Ohohoho.
2. Two-Face's makeup was badass. It was the bone sticking out of his chin that really got me. I also really like the idea that Harvey Dent had a kind of chance/luck complex, and Two-Face made him take that idea and go absolutely psycho with it. I think I might have been the only one out of my friends expecting Harvey's transformation into Two-Face. :/
3. HEATH LEDGER. The man's a frickin' genius. I could hardly believe it was the same guy who played Ennis in Brokeback. Nurse!Joker was one of my favorite parts, that wig was just too much. I also wanted to get a look at his scars when he was in the police uniform, but it was way too quick of a shot. The way he switched Harvey's and Rachel's addresses was just vicious.
4. I'm in no way well-versed with the comics, but I really liked all the little nods to other parts of the Batman universe. Little Barbara Gordon, Batman with white eyes, the Joker laughing the way it's written (Ha-ha-ha-hee-hoo-hoo) at the mob meeting, that kind of stuff.
5. I love Cillian Murphy. I also love how they were chasing Crane the entire movie, and he's captured like it's nothing in the first half hour. I love you, Jonathan Crane.
