Gotham Crime Alley by David Williams


This is one of my favorite peices of art, and has stayed with me for a long time. I love the use of shadows, and the way that it is coloured. Actually, I think the colours actually make the drawing. The style is great, and I'll give this a 5 star.

The Dark Knight Review

Just saw the Dark Knight. Panting for More. That was the single greatest Batman film ever made. The plot is that there's this criminal mastermind, he's called the Joker. Anyway, so he really cannot be caught cause he's so clever. The police are in a handful of trouble with him, so Gotham's new knight in shining armour, Harvey Dent, decides to take the case. Everybody loves him. Meanwhile, the Batmans working in the shadows, doing his best to stop the Joker. There are also a 'league of Batmen' who are trying to help him, whom Scarecrow is a part of, but he rejects there help. The story all interweves into the Joker causing the origin of Two-Face.
Aaron Eckhart was fantastic as Two-Face. He played the character so well. Also, the character tributes the animated series in the fact that Dent has phychological problems before becoming Two-Face. The Two-Face in this film, though, is different from anyone with seen before. He is not out particulay to kill the Batman, or to rob a bank, he's there to get revenge on the people that caused his accident. It all comes down to a well-acted-phychological conclusion.
I highly enjoyed this film. It was well-acted, well-directed, well-written and well-everything-in-between. The only thing I did not enjoy about this film is the frequent and intense violence. I would not reccomend this film for children, not just because of the violence, but because of the general appearance of the film. It is called 'The Dark Knight' for a very good reason: it is the darkest and most violent film based on the Batman saga ever made. For example, the Joker sticks a pencil in someones eye, sets someone on fire, and shoots someone in the back of the head. Oh yeah, and he sticks a bomb in someones mouth. Even despite these facts, I really enjoyed the film. Not for children though. Definetly.
And it just got away with not being rated R. So, don't see it if you're under thirteen.

Rating: A
