Gotham

   Dark Knight is a serious flick cloaked under the comic superhero genre. If you’ve seen Iron Man months ago, it’s a mistake to expect from DN the same amount of humor sprewn over dialogues. A socio-political drama coupled with great chase & fight sequences enough to keep you on your seats, DN picked up where it left off on Batman Begins. It’s lengthy but definitely worth the watch, that is, if you have the proper mindset: It is NOT “cool” as any typical shithead would tag it. It has the elements of a classic film where power is at play, where goodness is challenged, where the villain puts the law and what should be God’s law in his hands and passes it on to ours.

From the stupendous bank job decoy on the first part, to the series of bombings and encounters with The Joker, DN takes you on a different kind of battlefield that will leave you questioning your own humanity…

Bale delivers. Nolan delivers. Ledger endures.
