Batman revisited

Batman in his prime.

As Oscar Wilde would say
"He can't fly, he can't shoot lasers, he can't even suck blood like a bat, but he sure does look good in tights..."

The Dark Knight

Best comic book movie ever.....Legendary Joker performance.....Stunning cinematography.....blah, blah, blah
.....
All the hype aside, you can never deny that it was an extremely well made movie and there are a few moments I can never forget.
- the pencil trick, who would've thought.
- batpod coming out of the tumbler. Sitting there all I could think was, why the fuck didn't I think of it. There is the tumbler and there is the batpod, it should've been as easy as adding 1 + 1.
- everything with the batpod, its bloody genius.
- joker burning the money. It looked majestic, why didn't anyone think of it before this.
- batman beating up joker. This is the 'de ja vu' moment for all batman fans .

Inspite of the movie being so complex, not only everything fits in together but fits in so well that in the end you have a beautiful masterpiece. Hats off Nolan.

P.S: Somehow I couldn't avoid feeling that the entire movie looked like a sick joke by the Joker with every other character as a pawn in his twisted plan.
