The Dark Joker

I just watched burton's first batman movie on my new HD tv recently that I bought on Nigger friday as I call it.

I FIRMLY STAND BY MY BELIEF NOW THAT IT STILL REIGNS AS THE KING OF BATMAN FILMS.

Probably to this day it's debated on superherohype or other forums about batman which batman is the bestest evah. Hell even some sick fuck like gomer-tonic still spins the same prequel love for nearly a decade... so I have no doubt...

It's what it is. I'm not going to fight the internet, there's too many hot girls outside my house to do that. Was in the airport in california and flirted with some cutie, goddamn I'm getting good at it, maybe some day get some pussy... maybe...

Anyway, If you dared say word one about not liking batman begins 100 percent, you were stomped out flat by the batmob back in the day. So now of course we're 3 years after the dark knight and yeah nobody's sucking begin's dick anymore now that a sleaker prettier batman thing exist. One wonders then how long this too will last before people abandon tdk too in favor of tdkr.

I do like the dark knight, but not as a batman movie. It's the joker's funhouse guest starring batman, oddly enough a serious complaint about the orignal burton movie, depleting any last bit of credibility the batmob had I'd say... BUT having seen burton's movie and studied it with more mature eyes, it's absolutely NOT joker's movie. It's a poetic, passionate exploration of batman's mystical qualities and fractured personality. Burton creates a mythical aura around batman, something nolan's movies have been talking about more than showing us. We get more "become a legend" shit than we do of seeing batman being a legend which is what burton does by embracing batman's comic bookish fantasy elements.

Some fucker flips over an alley wall with two swords, shows off a lot by swinging his blades, approaches batman and the two duel, then as he goes in for the second strike, batman says fuck it and kicks him square in the face and he drops lifeless. HOLY SHIT. THAT'S THE GODDAMN BATMAN. Where's this type of fun moment in nolan's movies? Not silly, just fun or in other words indulgence of the character's larger than life qualities. All this is given to Ledger's Joker actually. Nolan made him what he should have made batman, FUN AND COOL. Burton did this for BOTH joker and batman in his movie.

Which's totally amped up to ridiculously glorious levels as batman ascends the church at the end and whoops joker's goon's asses with some of the best comic book movie fight scenes ever honestly. I don't really recall shit that happened in a similar scene in TDK as batman fights his way towards the joker, not so with burton's film.

And then there's the batwing sillouetted against the MOON- JESUS CHRIST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUqGwnAolSs

What's worse, Burton didn't have 5 batman movies before him to look at and say "that sucked let's not do that" but Nolan did so of course he avoided a lot off errors, yet somehow still made plenty anyway... and his movie's dominated by a character who wasn't in the first movie and has no depth at all...

Burton ftw.
