Oh yeah, and about The Dark Knight...

Oh yeah, and about The Dark Knight...


I'll have a longer review and more detailed thoughts after the weekend (and after more folks have had a chance to see it) but I give the film high marks for nailing the tone of the comics even better than the first one did. And Heath Ledger's Joker is every bit as good as you've been told it is.The one big difference between the films that I noticed, though, was the city. Whereas Batman Begins' Gotham was a largely digital construct laid over the bones of Chicago, The Dark Knight's cityscape is very, very, very recognizably Chicago.

UPDATE:
Read my full (spoiler-free) review.
