Less of a film review and more of an excuse to post this image which made me laugh. I did actually go and see The Dark Knight last week and enjoyed it immensely. Heath Ledger was bloody brilliant as The Joker, really very frightening. His pencil-disappearing trick was certainly not from the Paul Daniels school of magic. Michael Caine was great too.

I wish they’d resisted the temptation to ladle plot twists over plot twists as it ramped up though, and we’d got a bit more of Ledger with a cleaner narrative. I remember Batman Begins rambling a bit like that towards the end, but overall it was great and if you’re a fan of this sort of thing get down to the cinema and see it. Then read The Killing Joke.

Also, do yourself a favour and catch the Watchmen trailer…
