The Dark Knight Reviewed

Ever since I saw the ending of Batman Begins where we are shown a playing card with a joker on it, I have been highly anticipating this sequel in the Batman franchise.  I am a huge fan of the Batman comics and have always thought that the Joker was one of the best villains.  Now we have a movie that pits the madness of the Joker against the madness of the Batman.  What’s not to get excited about?  (Yes, I know that Tim Burton did the Batman vs. Joker thing back in 1989.  I was excited for it back then too.)

The Dark Knight is probably the best movie based on a comic book that I have ever seen.  There was so much that was good about it that what was bad is inconsequential.  Here are a few of my thoughts on the movie.  Warning!  Minor spoilers ahead!

I’m Batman

Well, I’m not but Alex thinks that he is.  He has two Batman shirts, a Batman vest, a Batman hat, and a Batman mask, ears and all.  He loves putting on one of the shirts, the vest, the mask, and a pair of gloves and pretending to be Batman. He even goes out in public like that.  People think it’s very cute but we all know that if I went out like that, I’d be mocked until I cried.  It’s amazing what kids can get away with.

Emma is also a big Batman fan.  She likes to join in on the fun by wearing all black (if her Batman shirt isn’t clean) and then running around with Alex.  It doesn’t matter to her that Batman’s sidekick doesn’t actually dress like Batman.  At least I hear her talking about Batgirl so she’s aware that not all characters in the Batman universe are actually Batman.
