Action, cars blowing up, people getting shot, robberies, dark scenery, clowns, and super heroes with ANNOYING scruffy voices are not usually my cup of tea when it comes to movies. BUT I can’t deny the dark knight. The entire movie was non stop from start to finish, never a boring conversational moment, everything said made sense and was relevant to the plot of the movie (as we all know, there’s tons of action movies with a lot of garbage in between to make the movie at least 1.5 hours long). Christian Bale was awesome - he was hot enough to be batman, but not hot enough to make him unbelievable. The only thing I hated about Bruce/Batdude was his damn voice when he became Batman. Does he seeeriously have to have a fake ass raspy voice? Come on Bruce, I think I know that sexy mouth when I see it, I know you’re batman and so does everyone else who loves you - so your voice isn’t going to hide anything…..sorry..I digress.

So back to the movie, Heath Ledger was amazing. The only scene where I really believed it was him was the part where he tried to shoot the Mayor during his speech and was disguised as a cop with no makeup. I got 5 bucks on Ledger winning an Oscar for this. Okay 10 bucks.

I didn’t like Katie Holmes in Batman Beyond - but I’ll take her any day over the new “Rachel”, Maggie Gyllenhall. Okay, I’m being mean - shes a good actress. But she’s really really ugly. Sorry I’m dissing your sister Jake. It is what it is. The leading lady, especially one being fought over between two successful hot men, should be a dime piece. Don’t read this next line if you haven’t watched the movie - but maybe that’s why she blew into pieces at the end.

Overall it was awesome. I can’t wait to see it again at an IMAX theater. I’m watching Gotham Knight now (the anime series that just came out on dvd. 6 episodes from different animators telling different stories of what happened between Batman Beyond and Dark Knight. ) I’ll let you know how this goes later.
