The Dark Knight - cool, very cool

well, yet more images have turned up from The Dark Knight, this time in the form of some promo pictures. as plain and basic as these may very well be, they just add to the view that this film is going to be awesome.

other than the fact that the talented Christopher Nolan directed it, one of the major plus points of Batman Begins was Christian Bale in the lead. he was most excellent in the part, and i dare say he will be again.

in this first pic, the bat outfit seems to have been refined and enhanced somewhat :




alas, poor Christian, you are not the most interesting part of The Dark Knight. regular readers of my page, and followers of this film in general, are well aware of the fact that there is one guy we really, really want to see.....





....ta-daaah! the Joker, in a much brighter image that we have seen so far. i balked at the idea of Heath Ledger playing this part, but so far it looks like possibly the most inspired piece of casting of the 21st Century.





there are all sorts of rumours and stories out there about how the Joker becomes the Joker - is it just make up, or is he deformed, as per other tellings of his tale? i will not repeat the rumours here, but will suggest that if you listen to Michael Caine in the teaser trailer carefully, it's pretty clear what he is and what he is up to.




ho hum, waiting for July 2008 for this one is going to be a major drag. oh well, with the teasing images and bits of info they keep releasing, i guess they have knocked the nail on the head in respect of marketing and building up expectation on this one!


be excellent to each other!!!! believe in Harvey Dent!!!!!!!!!!!!
