First off, this movie struck me from the first trailer I saw from it (First Dull Length One From Late December). When The Joker first popped up on the screen, I was instantly addicted to this film. I have never been so hyped up for a movie release in all my life. After Wrestling Season I had a little bit of time on my hands so I started to research this film, constantly looking into new trailers and spoilers. I was really intrested in this film, mainly from Ledger's phonomenally dark interpretation of the Joker role. But, when the next trailer came out showcasing Harvey Dent, my focuss changed.
First off, Let's not kid ourselves. This is the definative comic book hero movie to end all comic book hero movies. America is waiting for this climatic crime saga to unfold.
Spoilers have told us that Dent will be given the majority of the movie to shine, as Two-Face will appear near the end of the movie. They also tell us that the Joker will be incarcerated at the end of the film. We all know what they tell us abotu Two-Face. I ask some people on this site: Would this climatic showdown of a film fulfill expectations if both villaffins were set to live until the next film? Surely Not. Many people want Two-Face to live till the next film. If we all know that the Joker is heading to the can, then Two-Face can be the only villain to die. And honestly, if Two-Face lives, The Dark Knight will only be seen as a build up to the next film, not a showdown of a crime saga masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, it would still be a great film, but plotwise, it would be doing a girl, only to be stopped 2/3 the way through.
The way Nolan is portraying Two-Face is awesome. Harvey Dent is seemingly the only real good guy in Gotham, besides the Batman. He seems like a new ally for Batman. He is the "White Knight" of the city, but when pushed far enough
only to be forced to use the evil methods that his enemies use to take them down.
it might just be me, but I find the whole "good turned to bad ways" angle very much like life. We try to be the good people, who don't revert to bad ways and keep trying to fight our battles clean. Then, something happens that profoundley effects you (Mite it be a woman turning you down, losing a wrestling match), then you realize, you have to fight fire with fire and do things "dirty" or the way your enemies do things to fight ur battles, (whether it be getting women, winning in sports, etc). This also might backfire and turn your friends, women, and the people you love against you.
This movie is going to rock.
