The Dark Knight Thread

[Dyne]

Man, just got back from my second time through. So amazing, even though imax was sold out, the regular version was fine (even if it was quieter.)

I love this movie. And just like The Prestige, there is SO many little nuances in the writing - for example, when Alfred points out to Harvey that he's almost known Rachel her whole life, yet ironically her life ends not long after. Oh Nolan, you card.

I think I love this film because it's the perfect companion piece to The Prestige - in The Prestige he almost completely masters unconventional storytelling, yet in Dark Knight he shows how he can write the same way with a linear, more pop plot. If only Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson were in this, it would be awesome - but there's SO many actor tie-ins. William Fitchner and Bale (Equilibrium), Tommy Lister and Gary Oldman (Fifth Element), Aaron Eckhart and Katie Holmes (well, if Holmes never had "scheduling conflicts", but Thank You For Smoking) and more that I can't think of. So awesome.

EDIT: Holy shit! Mr. Reese is totally going to be the Riddler. Mr. Reese = Mysteries! GET IT? Oh my god. How did I never catch that? Just like his other pseudonym, Edward Nygma - as in Mr. E. Nygma.
