Why so serious?

Finally found the time to watch The Dark Night with my pamangkins. What can is say? It did not disappoint. Of course, as I've previously mention I'm more of a DC comics fan than a Marvel fan. I'm an uber fan of Batman and Superman. But even if you are not a DC fanatic, the movie will keep you glued to your seats until they roll out the credits. And I would like to give the credit to The Joker who was brilliantly played by the late Heath Ledger (too bad he's gone). Batman was awesome (except for his voice when he's Batman) but The Joker was something else. Of all the villains of Batman, The Joker is my favorite aside from Catwoman (duh!). If you watch or read any of the Batman adventures, most of the really good episodes are with The Joker. Remember the first Batman with Michael Keaton? The Joker was also superbly played by Jack Nicholson. The Joker is both scary and fun to watch. If Batman ever loses control, he will become The Joker especially if most of your enemies are from or ends up at Arkham Asylum. If you have not seen the movie, go watch it now.
