Ridiculous? Are you suggesting that the film would have done business of this magnitude if Heath had not died? Newspapers would not be writing articles about the must-see last performance. They'd just have printed their regular movie review, and sure, those reviews would have noted an...

Similarly though, if he ditches even more of the Batman style I won't be coming back to see a third one. No batcave, ok. No mansion, ok. No nighttime, ok. No batmobile half way through, ok. If he wants to do a film about a hero who is not Batman, he should just go do a film about a hero who is...

To launch Harley of course.

I think the Joker could return; it is just that other actors would probably not take the role out of respect for Ledger. Ledger's vocal performance is easily duplicated -- witness the various YouTube satires where people nail it (without months of practice) -- and the white makeup gives a new...

I'm sure Downey is aware that the characters logically conclude that Batman must become an outcast, but, I think he's saying that it seems to him like there were probably several ways out, and therefore he must be "too stupid" to see why those other ways out were not taken. Others on the...

I hear what Downey is saying, and I think he is complementing the movie while saying he did not enjoy it. Like the Slate review said, it feels like Batman2 was drafted on a chalk board -- formulas written out showing what needed to happen to effect a particular change in a character's...

The innocent guards went into a career they knew involved the risk of death, working with criminals, and they accepted that risk. So you'd be off the hook for that. But the captain and crew, yeah, I guess that would make one pause for a few minutes.

I didn't quite get what the conundrum about the two ferries was. There were 2 ferries. One had convicts and one had the public. Each had a key that would blow the other ferry up. Obviously the one with the convicts should be blown up by the public. There's nothing to think about. The only...

Kirk, give your "jerk friend" a cigar for me. Thanks.

It's been a few hours since I saw the film. I am feeling that the problem with the film is that it did not need to be a Batman film. The protagonist could as easily have been Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible character. And while I respect that this was the brave choice Nolan made with this...

That, and Batman's evident lack of concern as to whether the rest of his guests would be killed. Maybe my theater skipped a scene, but I don't recall any resolution to how the party ended. Massacre of the wealthiest Gothamites, or, Joker just left without harming anyone?
