Finally all the little screaming earthlings are back in school where they belong, so we went and saw the movie I have waited my entire life for, the movie where the REAL Joker is finally portrayed how he was intended to be, a completely insane psycho path. If you have never read “The Killing Joke” it’s a must, there is also a couple novels of short stories of Batman and the Joker that have MANY great stories in them, most are very dark and shows how much enjoyment he gets from torturing/murdering people.
Man I was so into that movie, it was the fastest 2.5 hours I can remember and I am drooling about the day it comes out on DVD. Health Ledger went out on top, I am not one to say “give him the Academy award since he died”… but I do think his performance was extremely powerful and I think he should win the academy award for his work that he did in it. I have been a huge “fan” of the Joker since I can remember and as much as I liked Ceaser Romero no one has ever come as close to Ledger in portraying the Joker as he is in the comics/stories.
No idea why I have always been attracted to the dark characters but I am, maybe I have evil in me? Well, at least more evil then I would admit?
I just loved that movie, from production, to story, to characters to the actors, it was just so well done and I am even happier that this is the first super hero movie I can think of that the “Masked hero” didn’t reveal his secret identity to someone else. I really thought at the end he was going to take his mask off and I was getting mad just thinking about it, so when he didn’t reveal himself I was ecstatic!
I can’t wait for the next one, I love the idea where the Batman is “wanted” so now its 1 man versus an entire city.
But of course, there will be no more Joker in the movies, at least I hope not, no one but Heath Ledger could have pulled this off.
Damn, why do the great ones die too soon?How Do I Feel?: 
pleased
