The Dark Knight (2008)

TDK is not really my favourite Batman film in the franchise, but Nolan sure did recreate a cast of characters that is esentially dark and flawed.

Bruce Wayne is no longer the really just n' good guy in the previous films. you can also view him as a man tortured by the fact that he's trying to be an equal of Dent, the much loved DA in GC. Heath Ledger's Joker is more neurotic and much more of a psychopath, and he could send a chill down your spine when he laughs with that disturbing and eerie voice. Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent is seen as a destroyed and disillusioned man, one who fights for justice - the White Knight of Gotham City - but ended up tortured by fate. I was kind of destroyed too... when all the time I thought Batman would save Rachel Dawes - it's more of a symbolism in saving Dent, because by that it means Batman tries to restore justice and fairness in the world even to the extent of forgoing his own world.
Sometimes, the truth is better not to be known.
and the lines lead to a series of thoughts in my mind, questioning our existence in this mess of a world.

is chance the only fair way to decide in an unfair world?


"madness is like gravity. you only need a little push."

"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."



really wish there would be a trilogy. wanna see more of Two Face (Aaron Eckhart!!!) and there are rumors that Ewan McGregor is going to be the Riddler. Maybe Chris Nolan is really trying to re-establish a new image to each and every character in the franchise. but definitely not Catwoman and the Penguin, as it's heard that he would never do a remake of those two, Tim Burton still rules!!!
