This second movie in director and co-writer Christopher Nolan’s Batman film series needs a new title. “The Joker” or “Heath Ledger’s Brilliance” would be more appropriate because 2 minutes into the movie, the Joker steals the the spotlight. His performance in the more than 500 million dollar (and still counting) grossing movie rocked the audience; inspiring emotions never experienced through movies before.
His performance rivals Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Like Depp, everything from Ledger’s smiles to his hand motions carry the essence of The Joker.
Of course credit should also go to Johnathan and Christopher Nolan and the other writers.Thanks to their intense dialogue, the depth of The Jokers’s persona are well developed and consistent.
Christian Bale delivers a solid but bland Batman. The Dark Knight like most good movies is about more the Batman and the Joker. It explore the roles of hero and villain and the ideas of order and anarchy and of human nature. Even people who don’t usually enjoy action films will love The Dark Knight.

Everyone thinks the Golden Arches are really just fried fat, and they are, but so are these other silent culprits. All five of the restaurants listed above are big favorites of high school students. In fact, there is a Subway, Domino’s, and McDonald’s within ten blocks of the school. That’s easy access to fatty foods for hungry teens.
By the way… fat is bad for you. Teenage girls are only supposed to have 73 grams a day, and boys can have 93. That’s the same as a large popcorn at the movies. Fat is a nutrient your body stores to build tissue,

asks. It’s Halloween, the one
