Thoughts on The Batman

HE ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HE’S JOKING ::
I went and saw Batman: The Dark Knight Returns a couple days before it’s wide release. I worked on the Domino’s + Batman promotion so I had a ticket to see it in iMax for free. The movie got to about 10 minutes before the end and the projector cut out. Needless to say, I was quite upset. So, I went with Lindsey that Friday (couple days later) so I could see the ending.
Apart from that the movie was damn amazing. Ledger’s performance was amazing. There’s plenty of over-the-top elements to the movie, but some how it’s thought through enough to where you think, “if there really was a Batman, this is how it would happen.” The movie is also covered in philosophical debates and social experiments. I think it’s easily the best super hero movie ever made, and one of the best action movies.
