The Dark Knight DVD
(Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2008)
Calling it the Best Superhero Movie Ever doesn’t suffice. Because it’s not just a pithy “thrill ride” to go with your popcorn. It’s the one where the Joker talks about how Daddy knifed his face into a big wide grin. Why so serious? Because the Batman movies are better this way. Director Christopher Nolan ignited the new ‘n’ improved Bat wave with Batman Begins and tripled the grit, the suspense and the awesomeness in his sequel. Everybody’s still talking about Heath Ledger‘s Joker, especially Oscar — how eerie/serene it is when he hangs his head out of a squad car, with eyes closed, taking in the crime-laden Gotham air. Get the DVD today if you can’t quite remember. The two-disc special reveals how Nolan developed the new Bat suit and Bat-pod, and includes six action-packed IMAX sequences, six episodes of Gotham’s news program, and lots more.
