The Dark Knight: The Dark Horse
People think “Batman” = another childhood favourite turned to smut by Hollywood. But they’re wrong. The Dark Knight remains one of my all time favourite films to date. A film that dwarfed its predecessors and competitors and still continues to thrill me to this day.
That scene when the Joker lets lose on someone on national television, or where a police officer crashes into the Mayor’s window still make me jump with excitement. The constant twists and developments in the plot are the groundings for some brilliant acting, particularly on Michael Caine’s part.
I have to say though, what really made the movie stand out from the other greats is Heath Ledger’s brilliant acting. I was sorrowful when he passed away, truly he was a gifted actor.
Anyway, on to a less miserable note, his performance as “the Joker” bared semblance to the Shakespearian Machiavellian Villain - Iago. The Joker is the puppet master in the movie; whether they be criminals in the slums, Mafia bosses in penthouses or a senators in three piece suits, the Joker gets them on his side or kills them.
After Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises must deliver, and it promises to. With a cast of esteemed Hollywood actors, the next instalment in the Batman Saga promises to deliver. All we can hope for is that Christopher Nolan can pull it out of the bag once again, and give us a spectacular film that we can enjoy time and time again.
