My understanding is that Zimmer "evolved" the Batman Begins soundtrack for this movie, fleshing out more of the initial themes, etc. Will have to listen for myself though.
Yeah - I noticed that there was a certain sound that grew whenever the Joker was about to strike. I loved his magic trick at the beginning where he made the pencil disappear.
Overall, a great movie - I can't wait to see it again, only this time on IMAX
Go see the damn movie already, ya bastard!
Maybe I'll avoid seeing it just to be a bastard and annoy you.
Ooh, and then I'd be a bastard to myself in depriving myself from seeing it as well! Nah, you're right Lee, I'll check it out, hopefully this weekend. This past weekend (when I was initially going to see it) ended up including an impromptu evening out and then the following day at the beach, so what can you do...

Well, I suppose one must enjoy the few warm days in Canada to the fullest.

Warm?! Frick, it's hit 95 Fahrenheit already this summer and next week looks like it will feel well over 100 with the humidex! Yes,we have the extremes here on the Prairies... -40 Celsius -> +40 Celsius, it's great....
MrSmith: Christian Bale uses an American accent when doing publicity work for the Batman films, so as not to "confuse" anybody as to why Batman has an English accent.
I'm not one for exaggeration, but The Dark Knight was the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE BETTER, NOR WILL THERE EVER BE!!!
Exaggeration aside, it was a fantastic movie; I've seen it 4 times now (once in Imax), and I'll be seeing it a few more times (I have friends who haven't seen it). Heath Ledger was phenomenal, and I can completely understand where all the talk of a post-humous oscar nod is coming from. I wouldn't be surprised if the movie got nominated for best picture/best director.

wow. i guess you really like the movie. i enjoyed it too, i just don't think it's on par with say, the godfather
I saw this tonight and was totally underwhelmed and disappointed. I had never seen a Batman movie before, but this one made me never want to see any of the others or any more of the DC Comics movie output. What a load of utter rubbish - I spent the whole time in the cinema totally confused by what was happening on screen, at one point the good guy became a bad guy and the two lead characters spent the whole time fighting with each other but never dealt the final blow.
Definitely NOT worth the discounted $11.40 student entry price.

I saw it today and liked it
Wasn't the greatest movie EVAR!!!!111! but it was very good in my opinion
I guess you have to be a fan of the genre to appreciate it
I thought it was better than its predecessors in that it gave a lot of time to character development over special effects or a "campy" feel
I would compare it to the difference between the newer Casino Royale versus any of the Roger Moore Bond movies
Woof, Woof - Dawg

What's wrong with character development? Sometimes heros aren't what we want them to be.
What are you talking about? *Highlight for spoilers* The Joker was caught and Two Face died.
Besides WallE, what movie do you think WAS worth $11.40 this year? Space Chimps?
P-Worm
$11.40?! Yikes, I just go to our main theater here on Cheap Tuesdays and pay $4... suckers...
Highlight to see my response to the spoiler alert
The Joker was caught but we don't know for certain that Two Face died - just because they held the funeral doesn't mean he was actually there - it could have been a cover up. In the comic series none of the villains that Batman catches ever die

You have a cheap IMAX theatre?? Cool.

Ah, IMAX, no. I was referring to our Galaxy Cinemas here. The IMAX here will run me another $3.
After reading all the comments about Batman's voice I just *had* to share this YouTube video
and I think I must be one of the few people that actually likes Batman's voice

I had a revelation this morning. If they put The Riddler in the next movie, they should cast Crispin Glover to play the part. I tell you, that guy is The Riddler.

Was the Riddler ever part of the Dark Knight universe specifically though? I'm referring to the graphic novels and so forth... I was thinking about that the other night as well, in terms of what other villains they could use in another installment. A proper version of Catwoman?... dunno... guess it depends how true they want to remain to "The Dark Knight" and what elements of the various Batman worlds they want to incorporate...
