PECKPOST

Wow TDK was really good. Best show of the year so far by a mile. It was seamless, action-packed, twist-filled and best of all it didn't dumb down the audience. My sis didn't think it was nuanced enough but I did. The question of what makes or should make a hero was very pervasive throughout the movie. Also, what I love about Batman is that he's very human. He has tons of weaknesses and internal conflict. Anyway Heath Ledger was great as the Joker. Not oscar worthy but still a creepy, psychotic performance. Really cool. I think as much as the joker is terrifying, he's fascinating as well. It's just his spontaneous no-holds-barred style and his world view that make him really attractive to watch. Yep this was a 9.5/10 for me. 



And if there is one show that I think can measure up to TDK this year, it's gotta be Watchmen. Check out the trailer here . It's widely considered the best comic of all time and combine that with Zack Snyder from 300, this could be great.
