Dark Knight...or was it duckwing duck-knight?
went to see Dark Knight with family, and then next day with friends.
i have to say, i am awed by the show. sure, its not a 100% correct portrayal of comic characters, but they sure do fit VERY WELL.
Batman/Bruce Wayne: Bale is amazing. he has the creepy harsh batman voice when in the suit, and has this flamboyant playboy charm when in public. Though, as my brother later pointed out that as batman, he shouldn't become emotionally angry, this is still like batman:year one. (also cos it makes good story for a love triangle).
Best scene with bruce wayne: either the one where he meets Dent for the first time in the restaurant and calmly calls for a additional table in his whimsical manner; or when he saves his targeted employee by running his Lamborghini in front of the police vehicle to prevent a head on collision, and then calmly jokes about going to a hospital to Gorden.
Best scene in transition: when he takes down a joker gang member and calmly enters a 'panic room'.
Best scene with Batman: err...every scene with batman?
Heath Ledger as Joker is a killer. his magic pencil trick is a bit funny and disturbing. his constant retelling of the origins of his scars is a bit like joker, in the end you don't know if he is telling the truth or not. He really is creepy, with that psychotic charm.
Best scene with Joker: also every scene in the movie with Joker
Funniest Scene with joker: that would either be his hospital appearance in a nurse's uniform, pencil trick, or blowing up the hospital scene (where he stands in the middle of the road, rapidly pressing the detonator and suddenly the bombs goes off)
Food for thoughts from the Prince of sLaughter: "dog chasing car" analogy. in one way or another, a lot of people are like dogs chasing after a car. when we finally caught one, we have no clue what to do with it.
Gorden is the poor normal person caught between everything. But he is also the only 'normal' person that shines in the movie. Dent was suppose to be the best of the three, but in the end, Gorden who being the most human is also probably the better. you'll almost cry with him at the end of the movie when he is forced to turn against his best pal bats. his son also provides one of the ending lines in the movie alongside him, that marks the distinction of batman. and its those last lines that will really make you cry.
Best scene with Gorden: the last portion of the movie, when tensions are high and all during the ferry crisis to the end.
Special mention goes to the Hummer aka the new-age heavy duty batmobile. that is the sweetest ride EVER. no one was sadder than my dad when it self-destructed. engineers and their toys. still, the last line of the Hummer was the darn cutest thing ever: "goodbye" sfx boom sfx.
another special mention goes to the Bat-pod,the COOLEST BIKE EVER. blows up cars, races across the streets, dives UNDER an the big rig eighteen-wheeler, and does that RIDICULOUSLY INSANELY COOL 180degree turn ON THE WALL. the next comparable bike stunt to that is DMC3 Dante's inhuman drive up the tower using a modified bike, and using the same bike as a weapon in midair.(too bad he blew up the bike in the process)

Dog chasing car analogy
probably one of the more thought provocative lines in the show (apart from "die as a hero or live to become the villan"). it reflects on some parts of society, where we rush for the newest stuff, but after we get our hands on it, find out that we don't know what to use it for. everyone is chasing something: iphone, macbooks, latest gadgets. Do we really need to ride the wave and join the rest in of the world in a crazy frenzy? even i fall under this catergory, and even if i do catch the car, i have no idea how to continue after that?
arggggh....need to hulk smash something...
and it kind if sucks being in a good school sometimes. cos here i'm completely insignificant. everyone is better in all ways than me, so there are times where i am completely redundant or ignored. kind of...buggy
