Thoughts on 'The Dark Knight'

Christopher Nolan is the best thing to happen to Batman since the words "Pow!" and "Blam!".

Katie Holmes was replaced by someone who looks older than fourteen and isn't married to a midget from the planet Tweak. A good decision, I feel.

If you have a billion dollars and the best approach you can come up with to fixing the worlds problems is to put on a costume and go take people on one at a time then you're an idiot who probably inherited that money.

According to some reviews the plot is 'muddled'. The only other place I hear that word is in recipes for Mojitos. Sounds good to me.

In this movie the Joker wears make-up. In other movies he was disfigured by chemicals. If you think the make-up can't possible be as scary then I have three words for you: Tammy Fay Baker.

Batman drives a tank-like car and a heavily-armed motorcycle. Just for fun I sort of wish they have given him a Smart Car and a Vesper.

It bothers me to read movie reviewer talk about the 'themes' and 'nuances' of this movie. It's like what would happen if some wine-nerd who writes reviews for Wine Spectator suddenly decided to try and describe RC Cola.

If Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale all got together and did an accapella arrangement of the original Batman theme song I might just explode with happiness. NAH NAH Nah Nah nah nah Nah Nah NAH NAH Nah Nah nah nah Nah Nah BATMAN!
