So I finally saw The Dark Knight
With that out of the way I’m going to be a little geeky for a minute. While Heath Ledger was certainly good as the Joker within the confines of the role as defined in this film, I simply don’t like this characterization.
I’m a comic book geek, so this is The Joker I like:
Maybe I’m old school, but I’ve spent 25 years reading Batman comics so I’ve got a pretty narrow image in my mind when I think “Joker.” The gruesomely scarred, disturbingly made up, lizard tongued character Ledger played? Not so much in my range. The character worked for this film (an understatement), but for my money it really didn’t even need to be the Joker. It could have been any depraved psycho.
Yes, I’m doing some geek style nitpicking. I’m a geek, sue me 🙂
Other than that? 15 flavors of awesome.
