I finally went and saw Batman last night. When a movie is a huge blockbuster like this one, I usually wait until all of hype has died down and usually I come out of the movie a little disappointed. So not the case here! The only thing that disappointed me was remembering that Heath Ledger died and he was not going to be Joker in a sequel. I’ll be honest and say that I was not a fan of him being Joker in the first place. I thought Jack Nicholson was perfect and they should have left it at that and if they weren’t, then I thought Joaquin Phoenix should have been cast in the role. I am glad to say I was wrong.
I am also glad for his sake that got to play this role before he died and he will be remembered as Joker and NOT the gay cowboy!
Aside from him though, I thought the movie was good, I thought Harvey/Two-Face was good too. It sucked that the Dawson Creek’s chick did not come back for her role (Stupid Tom Cruise) but her replacement did an good job but they tried to make her sexy, especially when she was interrogating Joker, but she couldn’t quite pull it off.
As for the movie as a whole, it was totally awesome, good balance of plot, action and romance. If you get the chance to go see it, definitely go.
