I am SO VERY EXCITED about The Dark Knight, the new Batman movie. The posters look AWESOME and the new trailer is stunning.




Just marvel at the awesomeness of this poster. I love the flaming bat sign; and the feel of chaos and anarchy. Just how Gotham should be!
Also, marvel at THE GREATEST CAST IN ANY FILM, EVER.




This is absolutely my favourite shot from the trailer. It captures his indecision and confusion, searching for black and white right and wrong in a morally grey world.
It's reminiscent of the cover of Secrets of the Batcave, which is a favourite cover of mine. Because Bruce is teh hot.




This is just gratuitous perving over Christian Bale. IN A THREE PIECE SUIT.






I saw Thankyou for Smoking recently, which was both hilarious and poignant, and Aaron Eckhart was terrific in it. He's brilliant material for Harvey; determined, smarmy and vain.






Yes. Just yes. I saw an interview with Heath Ledger where someone asked what comics he'd read as inspiration for his portrayal, and he said he was basing the Joker on Arkham Asylum: A Serious House, The Killing Joke and The Long Halloween. MY THREE FAVOURITE BATMAN STORIES. From the brief clips I've seen, he seems to really have nailed the Joker just as I imagine him to be. It's a shame Heath won't be there to enjoy the release of the film. :(




Now is it just me, or are there serious slashy vibes in this picture? Something about the way Batman is looming is just... suggestive. Not that I really go in for Batman slash, and even if I did I wouldn't be a Batman/Joker shipper, or a Batman/Robin one either. Clearly, if you're going to slash Batman it could only be with Superman.
And maybe Flash.
And Booster Gold, at a push.
And he and Nightwing have always had something going on.

... Not that I'm into Batman slash.
