Ended up seeing The Dark Knight twice in 48 hours. My brain is going to be set to Batman for the next few weeks. Love.

I have just come back from seeing the Dark Knight and I was completely blown away especially by Heath Ledger. The joker stole the show and he definatlely should be nominated for a posthumus oscar.

Oh yes, Orithil. He definitely stole the show. I'm glad you also liked it!
Btw, another guy who took a good piece of the show was Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon.

So, when does Batman actually get to take a piece?

Not only should he be nominated, he should win.

The Dark Knight was out of this world! The story was great, the lines well delivered and the acting wonderful. Heath Ledger's The Joker had some of the best lines IMO. And I really believed it when
The emotional acting from Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart was great. And I couldn't help but say "wow" at Ledger's acting. Very dark and a bit on the creepy side. I hope they end up nominating Ledger and I think a win would be great, but Hollywood is really reluctant to give Oscars to the dead. 10 out of 10

Are you kidding? The very fact that he died is the reason he'll get the Oscar.
Here's my opinion: Ledger definitely deserves the nomination. I don't know who else will be nominated, so I can't say absolutely that he deserves the actual statue. I thought it was an amazing performance, but considering the genre (sci-fi/comicbook), it wouldn't have been likely to even get a nod from the Powers that Be in Hollywood if Ledger hadn't died tragically before we got to see it. I think that the man would have eventually won at least one Oscar. He'd always had that potential. I think that for that reason--that he's dead and will not get a chance in the future to act in a typically-selected-by-the-Academy movie (drama, historical, controversial)--he will almost certainly get the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor this season.

Johnny Cash swept the award board at the Country Music Assosation's awards after his death, so I really think Ledger had a great chance at winning the award he deserves. He was a talented young man with a long career in store for him. Of the movies I've seen with him in (The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, Brothers Grimm) he had a talent of getting into character and making him his own.

*comforts* It's Ok.
Question for those who have seen the film: Was Maggie Gyllenhaal as good, better, or not as good as Katie Holmes? CLICK HERE TO VOTE

I'm hoping they keep the next big villains in the storage box for #4. In the third film they should introduce The Ventriloquist, who has been the scariest villain as far as I'm concerned (though Ledger's performance makes The Joker that much more creepy).
No Riddler for now, please...or Catwoman. I'd like them to open up some of the lesser-known (to movie audiences) villains. Heck, I'd be willing to see a Rhas Al Ghul return. And Acally, while Rachel (invented for the movies) is the only woman Bruce Wayne ever cared for, the only woman Batman ever cared for is Talia Al'Ghul ![]()

Oh well, they'll come up with something, I'm sure.

Two-face. I haven't seen the movie yet, but that's my guess.
