The Dark Knight.

Wow, amazing film! We went to the 12:01AM showing this morning. This is the best comic book movie I've ever seen, and is an excellent movie by any criterion. Great action, an amazing characterization by Heath Ledger--it's very satisfying! All the cast members get their chance to show off their stuff. Michael Caine was also very effective in his small role. Martial artist Michael Jai White is also in the film.

There are things that weren't perfect. Many of the fight scenes were somewhat dark, for example. But this film lives up to the hype, and the Joker is all you were led to believe. Four stars ****!

P.S. The trailer for The Watchmen is very encouraging. The Spirit looks to be done Sin City-style. There was also an abbreviated T4 trailer.

Christian Bale Released After Alleged Assault Arrest
(http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20213900,00.html)

Batman's Christian Bale was arrested in London Tuesday, following assault allegations reportedly made by his own mother and sister.

He was released from the precinct station later in the afternoon, and he is to return to a station in September, pending further inquiry, a police rep tells PEOPLE.

Bale, 34, allegedly lashed out at his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, on Sunday at London's Dorchester hotel, where the actor was staying before Monday's U.K. premiere of The Dark Knight.

The Dark Knight was OK IMHO..my wife actually fell asleep during it. The movie flowed at times, but at other times it was a dragging son of a gun, 2.5 hours is a long ass time. The movie had a feel as if the director didn't quite know how to end it. I am unsure if Heath Ledgers parts were all filmed. If not maybe that's why it had that feel, at least for me. I did enjoy Ledgers performance as the Joker..kind of a Cesar Romero meets Jack Nicholson infused with a butt load of Charles Manson..lol..all in all I would give it 3 Jalapenos out of 5.

I also thought there was some A Clockwork Orange in Heath Ledger's excellent performance! We will see it in IMAX at some points.

It's setting all sorts of records for ticket sales.

We saw it again last night at the IMAX theatre in Indianapolis. It was good seeing it again, even aside from the IMAX effect. The battle scenes looked clearer to me and I was able to really appreciate how good Gary Oldman's performance was now that I wasn't as foused on Heath Ledger's.

The big question...who will be the villain in number three? My son is hoping for Hush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush_%28comics%29), possibly from this storyline (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Hush), but I was thinking of Bane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bane_%28comics%29) and his "The Man who broke the Bat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bane_%28comics%29#The_Man_who_broke_the_Bat)" arc.
