I just saw this film and holy crap did it suck. Christian bale gives his worst performance ever as the ultra-boring batman, and Heath Ledger thinks he's still his old limp wristed Brokeback Mountain character that mocks the laws of God and Jesus Christ, our savior. This movie begins with crime and ends with crime, and Jesus Christ weeps for our sins the entire time. If you want to see a good film, watch The Passion of the Christ instead.

FEEL THAT CHRISTIAN LOOOOVE!
Yeah, if I want to watch a shitty fictitious horror movie, it won't be The Passion of the Christ.
You know, movies are an art form, and as such, their enjoyment is subjective. If you don't like a movie, that's fine.
That being said...Heath Ledger plays a VILLAIN...and you're complaining because he doesn't play nice? He's a criminal, and you're upset because he commits crimes?
What were you expecting to see in a BATMAN movie???
I've seen The Passion of the Christ, and it sucks. It misses the point of the story (which is Jesus' obedience as opposed to His suffering) and shows quite aptly that perfect (at least in a moral sense) protagonists just don't work.
Also, note to self: see The Dark Knight, just for Heath Ledger's apparently brilliant performance as the Joker.
Heck, I should probably get around to seeing Brokeback Mountain as well, but I must confess that part of me is a bit afraid of the looks I'd get from the store attendant when I bought the DVD.
Yes, of course, instead of watching something intended to be FICTION and ENTERTAINMENT, watch 3 hours of someone being tortured and killed because YOU are a dirty rotten sinner who NEEDS someone to be tortured and killed for you.
Yeah, sooooo much more wholesome...
If you want to see a good film, watch The Passion of the Christ instead.
So for a good summer movie experience I could take my 8 year old son to see Batman (ass-kicking paragon of terrifying revenge and patron saint of epic ball-stompage putting the hurt on the bad guys)--or Passion of the Christ (a 3 hour long S and M snuff film). What a choice! Given the brutality in Passion I could just let him watch Goodfellas and Casino instead while still getting the same results--a warped and traumatized kid.
I am fucking staring at the clock on my desk waiting for 5pm so I can go see this movie.
You are an absolute retard if you honestly think Batman will hold a candle to the Passion of the Christ.
You may be into snuff, but keep it to yourself.
Oh yeah...
Fuck Jesus Christ in the asshole with a big rubber dildo. Then I hope they snap it off and beat em to death with whats left.
Homophobes say the darndest things!
Huh, who'd have thought the Joker would be a criminal instead of a nice christian? They should print a warning label.
And, the Passion? What a freaking horrible and disturbing movie. The story was predictable and you could see the ending coming from a mile away!
Yeesh. Unable to comprehend that movies are made by ACTORS, they're not real life. If this dingdong saw Luke or Laura in a mall, instead of hassling them for an autograph, they'd try to tell them what J.R. was up to.
I'm willing to bet that this person didn't even see the movie. Granted, I haven't either, but there's no way in hell that Heath Ledger gives the same performance in this movie that he did in Brokeback Mountain. It's called acting, and a guy like Ledger is capable of a wide range of styles and characters.
Anybody who bashes a Batman story for being about crime is an idiot.
"If you want to see a good film, watch The Passion of the Christ instead."
Yeah watching a snuff film of a hippie being tortured for 2 hours is a wonderful film.
So if you want to see some good, wholesome Christian family viewing, watch this violent and bloody film? I'd rather watch Resident Evil, it's essentially the same, but without the Jesus.
Asshole, if you understood storytelling you'd know that Batman is the Jesus-character of that movie. Besides, why does every movie have to be about Jesus, he's really boring. Batman always has a sweet car.
@ GigaGuess
Apparently, any homosexual male, no matter how masculine or awesome, is a "limp-wristed sissy" by default. Mmm, stereotypes.
"watch The Passion of the Christ instead."
Three hour snuff film made by Mel Gibson? No. No I will not. Why don't you actually go watching Batman and come talk to me. Hell i'm seeing it tonight. I'll tell you how it was.
I got to say it, I really think this guy is a poe.
That having been said, I think the movie should of been called Gotham's Joker as Heath stole most of the show. Still worth the cost to get in though, I am going to see it again tonight, and I don't even like Batman.
I'mma go see it, if for no other reason than to see Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy (lifelong Batman fan) get roughed up by Joker and his goons when Joker crashes Bruce Wayne's party.
(And even though I never voted for Leahy, I give him massive props for using his cameo in the movie to raise $50K for the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT.)

OH, and Jesus wasn't white, if thats what your username is implying.
He just doesn't understand the concept of fiction and actors. Ledger was ACTING in BBM. He wasn't gay. If the film offended you, tough, but that was the story. The actors ACTED.
And if you can't speak well of the dead, STFU&DIAF
(PS what do you know: the thread has been deleted - someone else didn't like it!)
OK, there is not a human in the country who did not know what Brokeback Mountain was about. Why did you watch it in the first place?
Christ weeps for your stupidity.
Joe Kerr: (I get it, Joe-ker) Hah! You just might win this thread!
And while "Bruce-Wayne-as-Batman" might be a little one-note, the movie itself made the point that even in a bad city, people can make good choices and choose their fates. In fact, in a major scene near the end, [slight spoiler alert]a big, scary, BLACK Evil Convict makes a great moral choice.[/slight spoiler alert] Did you somehow miss that part?
Heath Ledger thinks he's still his old limp wristed Brokeback Mountain character that mocks the laws of God and Jesus Christ, our savior.
I don't even understand that part. He's (a perfectly acted, and a certain deserved Oscar, if not in fact win, nomination) a complete sociopath, and yet he's limp wristed? Brain ? compute. Oh, and JESUS HIMSELF NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY! NOTHING! In fact, he even said, about those prostitutes and tax-collectors he came to help (paraphrasing) "Those who are healthy have no need of a physician."
@#642473: Since delirious yaoi fangirls saw the movie, thought that Christian Bale and Heath Ledger looked hot together, and immediately started writing horrible stories about the "forbidden love-hate" between the Joker and Batman.

Don't ever tell them. Ever.
In fact, do it, it'll be fun to read. (Most of them don't know anything about male anatomy).
I don't really remember Brokeback Mountain, but I bet Mr Ledger played that role quite differently than he played the Joker.
I would love to put this deluded Prophet in a Clockwork Orange contraption and force him to watch The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert a few (hundred) times.
"The Dark Knight" was the most successful of all the Batman films. It's gross revenue to date (including DVD & Blu-Ray sales and TV rights) is $1,001,921,825. "Evan Almighty" bombed. "Left Behind: The Movie" bombed even more. You do the maths.
The only reason "Passion of the Christ" was big is purely because it's fapping material for you Jesusfags. It's basically "The Greatest Story Ever Told" done in the style of the "Saw" & "Hostel" films: Fundie torture porn.
So you like (and even recommend to others) what is essentially the dramatisation of what was Snuff material? At least "Saw" & "Hostel" are purely visual effects. And like them, "The Dark Knight" is fiction.
Actual crucifixions happen in the Philippines. By people who volunteer to have such done to them. Gladly. Just throwing that one out there, TheWhiteProphet. If you want to book that ticket to Manila; oh, and don't forget your camcorder!
Yeah, nothing but torture, torture, torture, crucifixion, and death. Sounds like a blast.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
