    The Dark Knight (2008)

    That was one of my favorite moments in the film. We got a glimpse of it in the trailer, but it wasn't until I was experiencing the actual sequence in narrative context, that it blew me away. The Joker did not plan for this scenario right then, but now that the opportunity had presented itself...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    My favorite 'moment' in the film is actually just the transition from Joker's capture (ie:Gordon's resurrection) to the Jail scene establishing shot. Up until this point in the story, Heath had cast an almost mythic, scary shadow over the narrative. I was experiencing a great film about evil...

    Christopher Nolan interview Christopher Nolan — KCRW So he mentioned Clockwork Orange's Alex during his first interview with Heath.

    See, I can't imagine a better way for the Nolan vision of the Two Face story to be told. It didn't feel rushed or condensed to me because this screenplay (ie:The ultimate Joker Story) was completely structured to revolve around the rise and fall of Harvey Dent. This film is his story. His...

    Should be over 300 million. Depending on it's drop this weekend, it could be 5-15 over. Insane.

    I don't like exasperating the sensationalism, but in reading about the "Bale incident", it seems he was closer to Ledger than we might have thought. EXCLUSIVE: Arrested Batman star 'deeply depressed' over Ledger's death and personal stress | Mail Online

    Such a great moment. The audience was on the edge of their seats. Bale definitely brings the fury.

    "Gordon does have a son. That's who Bruce saved (as a faceless stranger) in Batman: Year One"

    All great picks, Paul. A small moment I'd like to add in, if you don't mind. #122 The Joker using hand sanitizer as he exits the hospital. It's the little moments. :laugh:

    -The action scenes ROCKED. I found Begins' setpieces lacklustre, but these sequences were fantastic. Gritty, pulse punding, even emotional. And I "only" saw it at a digital theater. I agree completely. It's a great (extremely flashy) role organically part of an excellent script. And like...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    Fantastic and this coming from someone who respected more than liked Batman Begins. (I do love Memento and The Prestige, so I guess I'm a Nolan fan ;) ) Hollywood needed 20 years before it could fully embrace the Post-Miller era of Batman comics. Yes, Burton's first film was inspired (and...
