Batman (1989) and The Dark Knight are incomparable. I personally liked The Dark Knight better, but it\'s like comparing a Grateful Dead album to a Slayer album: they aren\'t trying to accomplish the same thing artistically, so there is no subjective way to say which is better.

they are incomparable, you\'re right.
i just think the original is awesome and gotham city is pretty damn cool looking in the first one... for 1989 it was kind of a big deal.
i can\'t wait to see this new one... heath ledger came a long way from 10 things i hate about you. such a tragic story... looks like he went out on a high note though
saw this last night and was blown away... i was convinved that i would end up passing out in the theater but was on the edge of my seat come the end of the film at 2:45ish. even if you haven\'t seen all of the batman movies, make a point to try and catch this one while it\'s in the theater.

It is no longer surprising to me that Heath Ledger went off the deep end. Such an amazing performance.
he stole the show. i heard something about how he basically became an insomniac during the making of the film and pretty much lost his mind after staying in joker character...

So much conflicting information has come out about Ledger; with people saying he was always in character while others say that he was very normal when not in the Joker character. Maybe it\'s not giving Ledger enough credit for being such a fine actor, but it\'s hard for me to accept that playing the Joker character had nothing to do with his overdose.
Technically a spoiler, depending on how anal you are about movies, so I\'ll give it it\'s proper courtesy:
Anyway, my not-so-bold prediction is that Heath scores the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. His performance was good enough that he\'ll get enough legitimate votes, and the sympathy vote will push it over the top; he deserves it one way or another after getting robbed of the Best Actor Oscar for Brokeback Mountain.
i\'ll definitely be seeing it again, next time in an imax theatre.. all imax\'s in the chicagoland area were sold out until late monday night. navy pier had 72 straight hours booked. **** 3am and 5am sold out shows three straight days!
"So, do you wanna know which friends of yours were cowards?"
Okay, so I saw "The Dark Knight" this weekend. It lived up to all the hype. But i have to say, that was a lot of script. I almost felt like they could have made two movies there with all that.
