Batman Outside Gotham

 The Dark Knight… why is it so successful? — mind you, as of this writing, it’s still leading the box office race. Do you know why? Because it isn’t a Batman movie at all… yes, you heard me… IT’S NOT!!!

It may sound absurd, but that’s what I actually think. Unlike the previous “Bat movies”, this one is totally different. It would really take you to a whole new level of theme-viewership. Remove the exaggerated comics elements, take away the theatrical angles, get rid of the fancy and unrealistic effects… what do you get? The perfect formula of pure awesomeness.

Yes, it is quite a long movie, so to speak… but I find each scene intriguing that you won’t mind checking your watch or cellphone for that matter. Everything was perfectly laid-out and each twist and revelation were introduced in a well-timed manner. Story wise? Excelente!

But I must say, the passing of Heath Ledger has stirred the curiousity of movie-goers to watch and check his undeniable impressive and fantastic portrayal of Joker. — indeed, you left a good mark to the industry, brother. Rest in peace. The Joker, this time, is literally synonymous to MAD MAN. He really is crazy… insane! — talk about redundancy. And Two-Face? Now, that’s what I’m talking about! That’s the Two-Face I knew… confused and lost. The Tommy Lee Jones version was just out of the character — though the movie where he was in is one of my favorites. As for Christian Bale’s acting, it was ok for me… not totally diggin’ the whole Batman-husky voice thing. It sounded way unnatural and forcibly done. But then again, maybe it’s just me…. wihihi!

So, that’s how I see it… Batman inside a non-Batman movie. Maybe that’s the reason why they came out with a non-traditional title. Just so you know, I’m not a DC fan… just an average Batman fan.

And I hate the very thought that they’ve beaten the record of Spider-man 3 on its opening weekend — Marvel… do something!!!
