So I was one of those excited people who went to see The Dark Knight at midnight (12.03a) on Thursday/Friday. Needless to say, I got there about an hour before the showtime anticipating a huge crowd. I didn’t expect the crowd to be so big! It seems a local rock radio station was holding a costume contest — possibly to give way free tickets — because there were quite a few people dressed up as Batman characters, mostly Jokers.
The movie was truly great! I really think it was worth the hype! Christian Bale is definitely my favorite Batman! Heath Ledger’s Joker was amazing. There are rumors to a potential posthumous Oscar nom. He is certainly deserving. Jack Nicholson has nothing on him!
I’ve been seeing quite a few Batman movies circulating on TV again… probably to capitalize on the success of The Dark Knight. All the older movies just seem so cartoon-ish and unrealistic compared to the 2 new Batmans. Kudos to Christopher Nolan’s visual stylings and directing.

That’s the most exaggerated opening I’ve ever known (although admittedly, I don’t know much) ♥

I’ve actually gotten quite used to it. When I go to midnight showings of Harry Potter, people go all out and dress up and sometimes “duel” while waiting in line. Very interesting lot…

I loved the movie! I just get irritated with Batman’s raspy voice (in contrast to Bruce Wayne’s normal one), but it was awesome. Made me miss Heath Ledger all over again.:(
