Can I just say I love Alfred (and Michael Caine) from the new Batman film series? And I loved that bit said from him (see title). I also love the Joker, though the one in Dark Knight was a bit disappointing in my opinion. Yes, Heath Ledger did a good job. The issue was the make-up, hair, and the fact that the writers didn't give the Joker his full twisted humor psycho-ness. I mean this one doesn't seem much like the kind to go out and attempt to get a trademark on fish, which he did in the story "The Laughing Fish".In the story "The Laughing Fish", the Joker is brazen enough to disfigure fish with a rictus grin, then expect to be granted a federal trademark on them, only to start threatening and attempting to murder bureaucrats who try to explain that obtaining such a claim on a natural resource is a legal impossibility. -Wikipedia (The Joker)I will admit they got the whole no-plan aspect of him. I mean he is the kind of guy to walk up to someone and shoot them, not having any reason. Heck he could shoot everyone in a bank, but one person, and then hand that person a load of cash as he says, "Have a nice day."
Do I really look like a guy with a plan? I don't have a plan. The mob has plans, the cops have plans. You know what I am, Harvey? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one. I just do things. I'm not a schemer. -the Dark Knight (2008)This is why I love the Joker, though I do wish they had added more humor to him. There were really only a few funny things said by him. And well, him dressing as a nurse was pretty Joker...and the burning of money. Oh and that one where he claps in his cell as everyone else
does because Gordon becomes commissioner. That was basically it. I think my main disappointment was that he didn't have any Joker venom. You know what I am talking about, that laughing gas like poison that killed his victims and put a smile on their face. Man I loved that stuff...As for other things I didn't much like about the movie, Harley Quinn's no-show in the movie and Two-Face's limited time only appearance. Starting with my lovely gal, Harley, why was she not in it? She was a big part in the life of Mr. J. Okay, so maybe they planned for her to be in a later film, being a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who falls for the Joker and breaks him out, as in the graphic novel "Mad Love". This of course sucks because of the fact that our new Joker, Heath Ledger is dead.
Now what else sucks, is that we just lost a few villain choices for a next film. No Joker, even though his part seems necessary in the next film (if there is one), no Harley cause she needs her Mr. J, and no Two-Face. Why no for the latter? Because they killed him. That also bites because I liked how he was a chance kinda man and man did I love his coin. You never really knew if he was going to kill you or not.
So yeah that's my first post...Any other news? Well I will post it in the morning cause I do have a few things to talk about such as new news regarding the L Word and possibly opinions on whatever I see on Secret Diary of a Call Girl. If I mention the later I will probably go on to talk about Doctor Who, since Billie Piper was in that too, and Torchwood, cause it's a spin-off. Then who knows, I may go off about all sorts of shows...and maybe I will finally talk about myself. *shrugs* Who knows...Well, until next time!
