Picking it up after work. With luck, I won't get trampled to death trying to enter the local Wal-Mart.

Yer just jelous.

Blu Ray also has the taller (almost)IMAX image.

But if you want the ambiguity of the image preserved, I'm sure you can find someone to transfer a copy to VHS for ya.

although I think the Two Face character was wildly out of place in the movie(come on, the Joker deserves to be the only bad guy) I'm still picking it up.

Watching the Blu-Ray version right now! Yes, I did get a player and Firefly was the first disc on it but THE DARK KNIGHT is awesome in Blu-Ray.

Hey...Joker wasn't always smiling! The Joker I know never has a frown- he turns it upside down!

Apart from that, gorRAM! What an assault on the senses!!!!

I look to recover soon, so I can do it again!!

Ledger was doing basically a colour version of Brandon Lee's 'Crow', though. But it worked well, I thought.

C'mon Story, think of the Crow scene where Brandon tells that Jesus joke- that was Ledger's template right there! And not a bad one to have; The Crow was badass incarnate.

Still think it's a gross oversimplification, myself. And a disservice to Ledger.

There is some merit to Mr. isall's comparison. The scene where Lee laughs maniacally after being shot in the hand and his "I guess today wasn't a good day to be a bad guy" line spring to mind.

I realize most people haved rushed to elevate Ledger's performance to some mythical standard due to his untimely death. I also recognize what a fine job he did with the part. However, I still maintain that the best performance was by Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two Face. I could make a strong case that the entire movie revolves around his character.

On another note the film does look splendid on Blu-ray. The enlarged IMAX shots are a nice bonus.

I agree that the movie revolved around Dent, both in plot and theme, and while he did a solid job, I didn't feel he did anything a dozen other actors couldn't have. More charismatic that Bale, to be sure, but not a stand-out like Ledger.

Questions:
Why is Rachael such an integral part of BB, yet she gets tossed out with the trash in DK?

And where did the "As a symbol, I can be incorruptible" thing get turned into "He can do what I can't" schpeal?

I see these as major symptoms of sequelitus.

Well, Katie quit, but they needed the character. Gyllenhaal bears a bit of a resemblance to Holmes, and is a far better actress. They did their best with an awkward situation.

she bears a resemblance? Cause she has dark hair? I am sorry NOT a fan of Miss Gyllenhal and think she took away from rather than enhanced the movie. They should have gone for a better no name choice.

Yeah, I think there's a resemblence. The hair, complections, the nose and to a lesser extent, eyes. And it's not like a said they're twins, I said "a bit of a resemblence".

And you may not like her, but she is regarded by many as one of the better actresses out there (actress, not movie star) these days. Judging by the success of the film, I doubt anyone regrets casting her.
