To bad the teenagers didn't think so. Cause at Teen Choice Awards 2008 for best Superhero film of the year Hancock was chosen over the Dark Knight & was worst for best villian Sweeney Todd was chosen over the Joker what is the matter with Teenagers today! what do they day see in Hancock & Sweeney Todd.

[Guestman12]

First of all who gives a rats ass about the Teen Choice Awards. What do they know? Secondly it is way too early to judge superheroes films and best villains for this year. The years is just barely half over. Besides I think Sweeney Todd was last year. And Hancock is more of a comedy than a superhero film so 'these' teens would rather watch a comedy over the Batman. I am sure you only mean some teens are like that. I, myself am a teen and I really didn't care for Hancock.

Yeas he does that alot. Notice how Potc and Gladiator sound similar.

Some of this sounds reminiscent of the final song in the 'DaVinci Code' soundtrack; the strings and the horns from about 2:00 onward; does Hans Zimmer like throwing in sections similar to his past soundtracks?

''He is a silent guardian.....A Watchful Protector.......A Dark Knight''. I always get goosebumps when i watch the ending.

i guess since he is directly challenging our beliefs and norms he can be considered evil by our standards. but the argument the joker is making is that he has no standards, to him its all just arbitrary rules that were set up in our society by people. he is simply writing his own.

[kingofqueens521]

balrogthane, i disagree. i don't see the joker as the ultimate personification of evil, but rather chaos. evil can have several different definitions. it can either mean to be morally backward, or to cause harm and discomfort. but morality changes with social customs and norms. im not suggesting that there is a society somewhere where the joker's actions would be considered acceptable, no. im saying that the joker is simply not abiding by our rules and disregarding our "schemes". Con'd above

[balrogthane]

Ledger's Joker is probably the most thoroughly evil character I've ever seen in a movie. He not only has no reason, no explanation for his evil, he has no particular physical goal. He wants to corrupt everyone.

An interesting review I read correlated him with Satan, which does make sense; like the Devil, the Joker wants to see everyone else fall; he wants to tempt all of us and see us all fail.

[CheesePhoenix]

I think that Sweeney Todd was a Rorschach-like charachter, or a V charachter (V, from V for Vendetta - he did evil things, but for a justifiable aim.

The Joker is much deeper then that. He is a post-modernist baddie. He did evil things, for no reason. Because there is no meta-narrative in life to follow. Who dictates morals? Why should we follow these morals? And so on...

arrg where is the one song from the first dark knight trailer

[diana491986]

I agree, Sweeney was dark, but he was as much a victim and a villian, you feel pity for Sweeney in the movie, but for the Joker you can't becaus ehe has no reason for anything, which is what makes him much more darker than Sweeney or any other villian that appeared in the last years. The Joker represents the part in humans that just wants to let go and be horrible and achieve what one wants at any means possible.

Batman Begins was greatt, but i have a strong feeling the third will ruin the series.
