The Dark Knight {Spoilers Abound}

[Bass]

Katie Holmes is WAY better looking. Not to be crass, but Maggie Gyllenhaal is downright fugly.

And Gyllenhaal is probably a better actress, but during the whole movie she came off too much as an actress. Like she was trying too hard. Katie Holmes may not have been as emotive but at least she didn't seem like an actress, if that makes any sense.

I thought you had a soul.

Or at least, were from this universe.

Freak.

It hasn't gotten worse for me with repeat viewing, it's just stayed at about the same level of "very good, very exciting, not the best movie ever made, not as heart-grabbing as Batman Begins" it's always been for me. If I watch it looking to love it, it's like a 9.5 out of 10. If I watch it looking to prove the hype wrong, it's like an 8.5.

Katie Holmes was far more bearable. She only has one, maybe two moments in Batman Begins where she even slightly annoys me ("Yeah! You better run!"). Maggie Gyllenhaal was a constant source of pain for me in The Dark Knight. "Haaarrrvveeyy...." "Allfreeeedd..." she sounded like she was ill half the time.

Also, Katie Holmes is better looking. Just sayin.

Agreed.

It's certainly not the peak of what a Batman movie can be. Batman Begins is a far better Batman movie than The Dark Knight, in terms of characterising Batman and Bruce Wayne (or "who he is and how he came to be" as Bob Kane put it), and visualising him as a creature, rather than a man in a costume. The Dark Knight is just the best film (so far) that happens to have Batman in its cast of characters.

Agreed through the roof.

Yep, all of it. Agreed.

I thinkk if they had to recast Katie Holmes for some reason, they should've chosen Michelle Monaghan anyway.

Or Rachel MacAdams, Scarlett Johannsen, Jake Gyllenhaal...there are tons of actresses who would have done a better job.

I don't disagree.

And Gyllenhaal is probably a better actress, but during the whole movie she came off too much as an actress. Like she was trying too hard. Katie Holmes may not have been as emotive but at least she didn't seem like an actress, if that makes any sense.

I should clarify that i did have problems with both characters but I've never liked katie holmes as an actress. Kmart model? sure, but that's a topic for another discussion. I get the jist of what you're saying, but I still prefered Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Batman's beaten Liam Neeson before and he'll do it again!

 

[Bass]

good luck.

 

[J. Agamemnon]

oh god don't kill me.

 

[ProjectX2]

Anti-Liam Neeson Death Squad, go!

You will die at our hands once again, Liam Neeson! Attack!

 

[Bass]

oh god don't kill me.

That won't save you.

Anti-Liam Neeson Death Squad, go!

You will die at our hands once again, Liam Neeson! Attack!

Three nemeses. Two hands with which to throat punch with.

...

Touche.

 

[Zombipanda]

Neeson will just have to resort for a cold cocking for the last one.

If you get my meaning. *winkwinknudgenudge*

 

[thee great one]

Neeson will just have to resort for a cold cocking for the last one.

If you get my meaning. *winkwinknudgenudge*

But which one would he choose for that?

 

[ProjectX2]

How to beat Liam Neeson in a few easy steps:

1. Gather a bunch of Jews.
2. Throw aforementioned Jews at Liam Neeson.
3. Liam Neeson will now try to save these Jews instead of throat punching you.
4. Watch Liam Neeson cry about how he could have saved more Jews. Laugh at him and throat punch him.

 

[Bass]

I'm not sure that's kosher, Proj.

Also, I'm loving how Liam Neeson is a more bad *** version of Chuck Norris.

 

[Random]

I want this

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Seriously?

 

[E]

I want this

I dunno - it's cool but the crotch region isn't big enough for my needs.

 

[Bass]

That is something I would buy if I rode motorcycles.

... Ah, who am I kidding. I'd buy it anyway.
