Squid's Quick Review of TDK: Holy ****ing ****. I thought Iron Man was going to be hard to top as a great comic book movie, but my god, this just catapults over everything that's been put out, and I'm not just talking about the comic book genre. This could well be one of the best straight up movies I've ever seen. I kept thinking to myself that if you took away the costumes, this would still be one hell of a piece of cinema. Acting was superb from everyone, including Maggie Gyllenhaal. I truly felt bad for Harvey Dent and his fall from grace. And crap on a stick were the effects for his face amazing or what?! I just can't say enough about this movie; I almost feel bad for Christian Bale because his performance was so overshadowed by Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger. Holy ****, was The Joker amazing. I've never been creeped out by a villian, especially a comic book villian, like I was by The Joker. What a complete ownage of that role. Such a shame that Heath had to leave us, it looks like he was just hitting his stride. Best magic trick ever. I'm betting they will. Just like Gordon's "death", I don't think Harvey's really dead. He's in Arkham most likely, and I'm willing to bet that he'll be back for the conclusion of this trilogy.
Whos the next villain? last time it left a hint.... when will robin come in and who do you think will be that actor? SLaughter
I think the fact that Bats will have GCPD on his ass all the time will be enough, but I'm still going with Two-Face as the next villain. Lucius Fox - "So let me get this straight: You've found out that the man you're working for is secretly a vigilante who goes around beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and you want to blackmail him? Good luck."
Yeah, my guess is that Two Face will be the next villain. I did hear they introduced the character Edward Nigma in The Dark Knight...so its also possible to have the Riddler in the next sequel. I would never expect to see the Penguin, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze or Catwoman in any of these films...Christopher Nolan seems to pick the more realistic, darker enemies....and I can't imagine him using any of those.... What I like about this series is that no one seems to have super powers or anything too out of the realm of possibility, (Although Two Face probably should have died from an infection....). All of the villains are just normal people gone crazy/evil....which is what makes this series a little more accessible than others. They'll never introduce Robin....it would destroy the series....
Im still thinking Scarecrow is gonna make a comeback, cause they never showed what happend to him at the end of Batman Begins, also, if I remember, that old guy, Ra's al ghul or watever seemed to be Immortal in the cartoons, maybe he happens to be immortal in the movie too. You never know. I still say they bring Mr.Freeze on the next one for no aparent reason, oh oh and poison Ivy, maybe even Harley Quinn...... Harley Queen as the avenger of the Joker Ftw anybody?
Actually, they showed Scarecrow for a little bit at the beginning of TDK. Batman tied him up with all the other phony Batmen and left them for the police.
The next villain will be Penguin Man!!! All of you are ignoring that by im telling you, it's penguin man all right. EDIT: ya thanks for giving me bad rep for this comment... i really appreciated it.
i DONT think that was the real Scarecrow... i believe that he was a phony just like batman, and they were trying to set up some dealers.
Yeah, he looked different than he did in BB for sure. If I didn't already know he was going to be in it, I probably would have thought the same thing.
I think he's being played off as a petty villain at this point. I would't expect too much from him in the future.
And compared to the the whirlwind that The Joker caused, he couldn't be anything other than petty from now on.
i dont think they would wanna bring back that villain again... it would be pretty much pointless to watch batman own him again. I suggested Penguin man from the classics earlier but someone decided to give me bad rep for that... anyway. Do you think we would be seeing a totally new villain created for the modern day batman for another movie?
I think just about any villain will look petty compared to the Joker. I really cannot see another sequel living up to this one....I'm almost hoping that they don't make another film...I'd like to see a series go out on a high note for a change...
In my humble opinion, I feel that the movie actually centers around Harvey Dent, and Batman and The Joker are the angel/demon on his shoulder, pulling him this way and that. It gives credence to the statement The Joker made to Batman, "you complete me" (which I believe). Opposing forces that totally destroyed everything it their wake once they collided. Couldn't agree more. I'm nervous/excited about the third act of this trilogy they're making, but my faith has permanently been put in the Nolans. Oh, and how bad ass was the introduction of the Bat-pod? I was expecting something similar to how The Tumbler was introduced, but that was just awesome. What a great way to incorporate more Bat-paraphernalia.
I kind of predicting a cluster**** of villains in the next film, I just hope they don't make it cheesy considering a lot of these third movies have been underwhelming (xmen 3 and spiderman 3). I have faith that they will do a good job though.
