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

New Two-Face Image From the Dark Knight!

I just found this image of what Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face will look like on a blog- and boy, is it frightening! One thing though- in the 3rd trailer, you see Harvey lying in gasoline on the floor- why didn't all his hair burn off? and his clothes are still there- which means something else is going to happen to him? maybe he will have acid hurled in his face, afterall.

Aaron Eckhart is Harvey Dent

I hope that Christopher Nolan and Goyer decide to use Two-Face. I know that they are already using the Joker, but they did such a good job of using multiple villians in one movie, which is hard to do and Spider-Man 3/Batman and Robin can show you that.
If I was directing the movie, I would try to make Harvey Dent resemble his 'the Long Halloween' role- one that is slowly edging towards madness because of a Falcone case. I really liked this incarnation of him, and Aaron Eckhart better not turn into Tommy-Lee-Jones because if he does, then the whole plot of the Batman series could turn into another Joel Scumacher film.
Which is your favorite incarnation of Two-Face/Harvey Dent? I will look forward to your reply!

Absolute Batman

I had something like 300 dollars to spend- so I went on a visit to Midtown Comics, my local comic-store, and spent some money on graphic novels. I blew it on the Absolute Batman titles:

1. Absolute Batman: the Long Halloween
2. Absolute Batman: Hush
3. Absolute Batman: Dark Knight

I must say that they are greatly presented and the colour reprints are amazing. The quality of the binding is amazing, so the books don't fall apart, and the stories are great. The chosen material that is provided as glimpses of 'behind-the-scenes' are fantastic as well. It has everything from scripts and proposals to sketches and pin-ups.
I highly reccommended these titles to anyone with the money to buy them (they're very expensive. I only got enough money through birthdays and some sales).

Heath Ledger's Joker

Have you seen the newest trailer for the Dark Knight? If not, you must, because it reveals more footage of the Joker, acted by Heath Ledger.
Unfortunatley, Heath Ledger's death has shocked us all. I'm afraid that this may bring the movie down, but what a role to play as his final haunting masterpiece.
the new Joker has some significant changes from the original Joker in both the comics and Jack Nicholsons Joker. It appears that the Joker has face paint instead of white skin, and his smile seems to have been carved onto his face. He also seems to have more messy hair and is not as styled as Nicholsons. He seems a whole lot more crazier, and I kind of like this more. I hope he is similiar to the Joker from the 'Arkham Asylum' graphic novel.
