It isn’t an overstatement to call The Dark Knight the most sophisticated and ambitious work of its kind.

Superior to all three Spider-Man installments and even its amazing predecessor in terms of conceptualization, writing, acting, and direction.

Nolan’s follow-up to Batman Begins is a dark, complex and disturbing film,
its unique because it grafts its heroics onto the actual reality rather than that of spandex-clad superheroes.

Suffice it to say that The Dark Knight qualifies as the first official comic book adaptation that truly succeeds in being a great artistic achievement in its own right.

This time around there will be more complex emotional conflict hammering Batman. 

A new adversary named The Joker (Heath Ledger) proves particularly dangerous because he seeks not only to advance the cause of Gotham’s underworld, but obliterate the foundations of liberty and order that Batman protects.

Meanwhile Harvey Dent will put more weight on that conflict, while we would see Mr. Dent transform into another famous Batman villain the "Two-Face"

The great triumph of The Dark Knight is that it manages for the first time ever in the history of the genre to transplant comic book theatrics into the real world

-and moreover, to examine precisely what it could mean if a person decided to strap on a super-suit and start attacking the world’s criminals.

More important than this, however, is the idea that Batman is not just a guy in a suit, but a symbol and there are people in the film who want to destroy that symbol.

While Batman’s identity remains secret and his motives unknown to Gothamites, he represents hope in a city that has little to spare and embodies a pursuit of justice, a code of behavior.

By throwing Gotham into chaos and testing the limits to which Batman holds himself, The Joker is not merely plying death and destruction but willfully destroying the philosophical foundations of organized society.

Wayne not only has to find a way to maintain his moral compass, but consider what the repercussions of his heroism are to both the public and the criminals themselves.

Impressively, Nolan examines these themes in beautifully human terms, projecting his examination of "the hero" into the hearts and minds of his characters.

Meanwhile, the violence is quite possibly the most intense I have ever seen in a PG-13 film, wondering how The Dark Knight avoided an R. With the Joker as a superb psychotic maniac criminal perhaps ever shown.

But what is more disturbing is the unrelenting menace that hovers over every scene like a dark cloud. The Joker sounds like a cross between Ligeti’s "Lux Aeterna" (from 2001) and the scraping, metallic curlicue that was used in trailers for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and enhances the clenched-fist feeling that anything can and will happen at any moment, even scenes in which he doesn’t appear.

Bale is predictably effective as both Wayne and Batman this time around (indeed, he and his characters seem to possess more confidence). Though Wayne is a necessary second-fiddle to Batman, he is a better defined and more poised character in this film.

Meanwhile taking over for Katie Holmes, Gyllenhaal adds real depth and energy to Rachel Dawes, showing how her feelings for Bruce Wayne aren’t simply unrequited, but actually based in both sincere affection and common sense.

Finally, there’s the late Heath Ledger, whose performance I suspect will be the subject of many analyses of all sorts in the weeks and months to come.

What he does with The Joker is, quite frankly, nothing short of transcendent.

Early in the film he explains the origins of his trademark facial scars, and you worry for a moment that the filmmakers are giving this psychopath some kind of convenient explanation, which, talented though he was, Ledger won’t be able to overcome.
But by the third time he’s explained where they come from – each time telling a different tale – you realize that Ledger was a master of his craft, only in his final years finding roles that truly offered him the chance to explore that mastery. His is the definitive movie Joker, and he owns the role and achieves a level of abject insanity that is terrifying as it is irresistible.

Overall, the film does maintain a steady pace and function with such continuously unnerving momentum

Nolan’s approach to The Dark Knight gives you exactly what you want, but does it so well that it manages to completely catch you off guard when it happens. But there really is no better way to describe The Dark Knight than to call it a great work of art because its transcend both the boundaries of comic book moviemaking and even the parameters of good filmmaking.

Kerana perjuanganmu belum selesai…

        Recently aku curik2 tengok the star newspaper kat kdai mamak dkat dgn umah aku…sumthing grab my interest…(i bought malay mail intead)

        Sangatlah mengganggu ketenteraman jiwa dan emosi apabila aku dapat tahu ada orang kutuk my most faveret Malay,my most respected ex-PM Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohd..

        They say I quote "Mahathir Melayu mudah lupa".. This is refering to the incident in the court about the ‘who-talk-to-Lingam‘ case where Tun reply with several "I forgot" answer when being ask in the court

        Now, why would they say that? Why would they play with that sentence? Do they got some issues? I mean come on… he’s an old man already,he’s in his eighties…of course he could forgot…Yupp undeniably he is once a great man, a true hero…but he’s not God. what do they expect from him? However, as old as he is, im pretty sure his thinking and vision are still sharp! sharper than the most of them!

        Hey you haters!
        It were you people who easily forgot what he has done to the country… Yeah he also has some dark moment during his reign, nobody’s perfect! at least he’s trying to find a win-for-all solution. Why is it after he contribute,develop the country and putting Malaysia on the world map, our people tends to forgot?

My Hero, My Idol -
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad

        During his reign all of you admire him,respect him as the prime minister, support his thought-provoking and revelation ideas. You’ll dare lick his shoes… However after he let go all his power/his position as a top leader what happen? where all of you "supporters" gone? Poof! dissapearing to emptyspace?!!

       Admit it, you all only support/ respect him because of his position right? not because of his ideas… such hypocrites!

        Tun realise this and im sure he must be disappointed and very sad by this…as he thought people lookin up to him before because of his ideas…
        I’m so involve in this issues as im one of the Malaysian who grow up with his leadership,Im one of that kids,the people in his era… We evolve with him, We are affected a lot by his vision. We trusts him. We respected him…we still are… as long as we are Malaysian.

        Im happy that some of you, some of my friends shared this view. Together, we’ll create a more meaningful and true Malaysian

I never thought pompuan jenis macam nie pun ada ka… Mengapa tamak sangat? sorry to say, takkan gersang kut…
Best ke main2kan hati n perasaan org? tak best pun rasa besalah ada….

Some of them will answer ‘you think?’…what was dat? u think this is a gameshow? When people asking serious question must you answer with a joke?

you remind me of Gollum who always answ in riddles when being ask bout his past (L.O.T.R)

"We swear on the precious…" - Gollum *twisted creature*

well get  back to the point… As this is serious matter(unless those girls think otherwise) at the time u say "u think?’ i tought u joking and u still single and availabe… korang kan tau kaum adam nie lembab sket…lagak macho je kat luar padahal kadang2 bangang jugak…so thats why we tought u joking and u still single and availabe…hrmmm lurusnya aku

Bunyik macam marah kan…Sapa tak marah…mayb bukan marah tapi geram laa kan…rasa macam di tipu pun ada… its not like i will run away if you say u have a bf…we can still be fren...wats so hard?

Member aku pun banyak yg exp benda nie…One of them suffered a broken heart bcoz of this…though he looks tough from the outside….
oh… u asking me how could someone heartbroken over such trivial matter? okay i tell u…
He met a girl right…she say she dont have a bf… She seems a baik n ayu type of muslimah… the type that u thought wud nvr lie… first they being like fren…get to know each other… Until my fwen here (i donno how) fell in love with this girl… When he express his feelings, she say… "actually i hav a bf and we can only be fren"… wow! what a trip heheh

Donno who to blame the girl or this fwen of mine…

Tu yg buat aku tambah geram tu…my  fren here is a superbly kind hearted guy.. always help others…he’s my cousin… Im not sure what that girl’s intention at the time… mayb he’s fighting with her bf before…or she’s not confident with her relationship…
But y is it so hard to tell the truth? nampak sangat ko tak bangga dengan boypren ko tue…kalo aku laa boypren tue…mesti kecewa/malu/marah punya…
