Why so serious?
Yes, I made my donation last night to the Dark Knight Fund of $155.34 million in their record-breaking box office weekend. Firstly, I would like to say that I’m in the majority… this movie was unique, very well done, and the acting was superb. The new Joker portrayed by Heath Ledger really gave me chills as he vividly portrayed the psychotic and insane psyche of quite possibly the best villain ever! It is easy to put his latest rendition of the evil and sadistic clown along with an elite group of villains like Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs and Darth Vader from the Star Wars series.
There was just two real questions I had (*WARNING spoilers below*):
1. What’s up with Batman’s voice? It’s so deep, raspy, and somewhat fake sounding.
2. Why did they kill off Two-Face? With about 45 minutes left in the movie I really thought it ended, but then they continued with the plot and ended will killing off Two-Face. I figured his character could’ve at least made it to the next movie.
