THE DARK KNIGHT ROCKS!!!!

A FAN REVIEW...........



A great director with an awesome script, a hard-working hero and hard-core villains, what more can you ask for? Now that, the film is released, after seeing it you can understand why it took so long for the team to finish it. The explosion scenes, though remind you of the fateful 9/11, are realistic.

Bale as Batman riding the bat-pod


Honestly answer my question, when was the last time you saw a hero only of actions and no unwanted superficial dialogues?(Of course, it's quite common in comic heroes). I bet, you will be ramming inside your brain, for atleast a minute, searching hard to find the right answer.Now, here's a hero whom you are looking for.....He is intelligent, suave but doesn't show-off and that is contributing to his style factor. That's a happy news for the Batman fans.Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman, takes off the roles in style his hardwork is reflected in the scenes.One would hardly blink one's eyes especially when he comes after the joker in his Bat-pod.


"Psychopathic, Mass-murdering, Schizophrenic
with Zero empathy"----Joker........The name and
the character are totally different......But that's how
a villain has got to be. With his sharp looks and
unique laughter, Heath Ledger has set a new record,
one has to admit.The way he delivers the dialogues,
a kinda never-seen-before.It is really pathetic that
the entertainment industry has lost one of it's great
actors.You can't help yourself to remove the scenes
from your mind, I bet, especially the Joker's. Wonder
anyone can replace him in the future sequels(if any).
Nolan's choice is absolutely correct.Heath Ledger, as
Joker in the film, truly threatens you by his acting.
Every time he laughs in his unique way, your sure that
the danger is not far away.A kind of threatening yet
smart acting.You can find a terrifying villain hidden in his portrayal of the Joker not only in his with his chalk-smudged face and lavishly smeared lip-stick but also his expressions.





Aaron Eckhart as HARVEY DENT/TWO FACE alsoadds thrill to the film.As he says, "You die a hero,or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villain", he eventually turns into the antagonist,Two- face after the loss of his love, Rachel Dawes.Joker lures both Lt.Gordon and the batman into a trap and in the process Rachel dies for which joker manages to make Harvey believe that Gordon and Batman are at fault. And speaking of Rachel Dawes, Maggie Gyllenhart handles the role quite well as Rachel, torn in between Bruce and Harvey.Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and not to mention, Micheal Caine were at their best....




Nolan worked on the origin of Batman in his previous
film, on how Bruce Wayne turned into Batman, honestly,a treat for batman fans. But now you wonder how did the Joker enter into the city.....the film starts with Joker robbing a bank and plotting to have all money without sharing with his partners....But how did he come to Gotham all of a sudden? If you are aware of the comic version, joker's origin is also one big
story.Even Batman seems to be usual with his elusive look and digitally modified voice. Although his origin had been told, here he seems well-set with the city of Gotham without attempting to advance his character.But these don't matter when you are engrossing deep into the film (Trust me, You can't help that) and Nolan has succeeded in this.

Remember the cool dialogues in Batman Begins?...The one like....
"Bruce, you are supposed to be dead......"
"Sorry to disappoint"......

Here Joker fills the bill.He says: "I'M LIKE A DOG CHASING A CAR, CHASES IT FOREVER BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER HE CATCHES IT."

I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments

AND WHEN MEETING THE BATMAN....."This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object".
-truly a villain...

A must watch for all movie buffs and Batman fans.....Please dont miss this one at any cost.But not one for your kids, even joker alone is capable of terrifying your kids, so not advisable.

Below is a video which has the scenes of Joker with LP-By myself as the bgm....Please do watch it and post your comments.
