The movie "The Dark Knight" gave justice to what the movie just offered us - great movie of substance, best Superhero movie so far. The guys at WB and DC are making a fortune out of this film. Their other superhero franchises should follow suit. Adding to the success of the movie is the death of Heath Ledger? There is a bit of an intrigue about the last movie of Mr. Ledger. Good film at nice story plot, good cinematography and effects. Heath ledger will be missed and his Portrayal of the joker is a classic. DC stories are closer to reality, with little added exaggerations, but Marvel characters are mostly fantasy and sci-fi. Batman is a real person with skills. He doesn't have super natural abilities so no special effects with added dark nature which makes it monochromatic. Dark Knight is best but it can't be compared with Iron Man, Hulk and even Hellboy because of different flavors. I think DC can pull another one after the Dark Knight - Justice League??? As I know there are four batman comics - batman & robin, detective comics, batman JLA and dark knight. DC was the best, it was like those pulp hardboiled stories with drawing what was soon to be followed, the dark shadows that soon the dark knight series took up. detective comics had no supernatural beings, no superpower nemesis, had foes like gangsters, organized crime or ordinary everyday crooks. It is this batman that I love, an ordinary mortal who bled and used wits to subdue his enemies like a modern day urban odysseus. DC batman story lines had pedigree which no other comic book heroes, DC or Marvel, had. It was classy despite its gritty urban crime nature. The thing I like in marvel is that no one was able to figure out to catch the guy with purple pants....
