The Dark Knight Won't Stop Returning
Posted at 3:12 PM Jul 03, 2008
Did you see that terrible bootleg of the first 5-minutes of The Dark Knight? Now you can watch it again in a far less terrible version—perfect to take up some time as you wait for the three-day weekend to start, whether you're an office drone or a pantsless blogger who needs at least one more entry before he can get hammered (since I was drunk at about 11 this morning). Enjoy!
Oh, one more thing—if you've been following this Robin brouhaha, with some folks thinking he'd never work in a movie, and some folks like Jeph Loeb saying he could—I might point out that while nothing is impossible, adding Robin into a Batman movie and not having it be stupid is hard—plus, to make it work, you have to do the Batman-as-dad thing, which won't work for the early Year One-ish Batman that these current movies are covering. So there, I guess.

That was pretty awesome. Nice minimal usage of that asshole from Invasion and Contact as the bank manager. I hate him. I hope he bleeds out.

I would have loved to see Heath Ledger's Joker take the little pixie out though!!!
Damnit that would have been good stuff!
Unless they drastically alter his character and appearance I really don't think the addition of a Robin character would serve this series of movies well.
