Heath Ledger
Waiting to See the Dark Knight
Since leaving the cinema in 2005 after seeing ‘Batman Begins’ for the first time, I have waited oh-so-patiently for Christopher Nolan to make the next Batman movie. Now, with just a couple of days before I take my seat in the local cinema, I am beginning to be more excited then I have been since childhood.
A lot of press coverage has been focused on Heath Ledger. A great young actor with a seemingly bright future has certainly been a great loss to cinema, but we should also celebrate the incredible work he acheived in his short career. With his portrayal of The Joker in ‘The Dark Knight’, there has been talk of a posthumous Oscar nomination for the actor. From the trailers I have seen, I believe this willl be an almost certainty.
As excited as I am about being fully immersed in Ledger’s portrayal, I am eager to witness Christian Bale’s reprisal as Batman himself. I believe that every movie I have seen Bale appear he has put in a memorable performance, and in ‘Batman Begins’ the character become much more human than in the calamitous representations given by messers Clooney and Kilmer. I am even coming to the opinion that Bale exceed the maniacal quality of Michael Keaton in Tim Burton’s original movies – but that is a discussion for another day!
But I digress, the darkness and sheer brilliance of ‘Batman Begins’ gave me an insatiable appetite for Nolan to make more and more Batman movies, and the last three years have dragged until now.
In just a few days I will either be plunged into another era of waiting patiently to see the next film, or be castigating myself for expecting too much.
From the trailers I’ve seen and the reviews I have read, I am confident it will be the former.

A Knight’s Tale $5.90 Writer-director Brian Helgeland dared to use rock music–mostly anthems from the ’70s–to accompany his rousing tale of a medieval jousting champion, and this anachronistic strategy pays off handsomely by giving the film a joyful exuberance that it might otherwise have lacked. Divorced from the movie, this hot sampling of hits is just another corporate song package intended to boost the movie’s pr… |
