the Joke is on you

Mayor: What've we got?
Lt. James Gordon: Nothing. No name, no other alias. Clothing is... custom. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint.

Here is my card

Fooohhh... Joker makes me insanely passionate about the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight, due to be released on July 18. This one is way bigger than Batman Begins. I can't get enough of Joker.

coming to cut the joke

I love the theme of the show, which is dark and grim, like Harvey Dent said, "The night is darkest just before the dawn." In Gotham city, which is a hopeless, corrupted city ruled by endless crimes, things are bleak, people die gruesomely, citizens are always terrified and safety is last. It's a worse feeling than the fear of doomsday cos in this place you're so innocent to deserve something like that. I think the current world is becoming more like Gotham bcos "Some men aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."


When you hear "I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight. But this is different. They crossed the line. ", you know there's a new challenger.

Evening, Commissioner...

Heath Ledger's portrayal of Joker is really scary, even Morgan Freeman, as Lucius Fox was left terrified until he forgot his lines. The way he leaves his trail, with the burning Joker card, the way he hit eye contact with you, the way he screams like mad man, he really scares the shit out of you. When he said "People will die. I am a man of my word(plus that devilish laughter)", I believe he meant it. And, he brought chaos throughout the city of Gotham.

I really love the psychopath. He's crazy, insane, deranged, and terrifying.

This city deserves a better class of criminal and I'm gonna give it to them.

And in between all those insanities of killing people brutally, driving people insane, terrorizing the people, he can still have good sense of humour. That kind of humour that is funny but the victims are too terrified to think it's hilarious. I like the part where he crashed into the night ball, shooting in the air and saying "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We're tonight's entertainment."

He's that kind of villain that leaves you constantly worrying what he will do next. Even Batman was nervous and didn't know how to deal with him. He told Alfred "People are dying. What would you have me do?". Last time, Bruce Wayne overcome his fear of bats and thought he became fearless. This is different. This guy is clearly a sick nuisance capable of doing anything shitty enough. And he will always be breathing down Bruce's neck. It's a whole new level of fear.

Why... so... serious?

With Gotham banking on him alone to face this monster, it's a big demand of him. Bruce is afterall just a normal superpower-less human being, who needs a normal life and love too. The way he has to suppress his fears everytime he puts on his Batsuit, it takes a lot of courage and sacrifice cos he does it all by himself.

It's one hell of a movie, that is worth the hours wasted on writing this blog entry. Yeah, I'm one sick guy who loves Joker. July 18 is a joke. Why the hell so long??

It's all... part of the plan.
