The Dark Knight has been released now for almost a month and has made around $450,000,000. There was more hype for this movie than any movie in a long time and for once the movie was well worth the torturing wait. Everywhere you looked, you saw either an advertisement, a trailer, or a poster. This top ten list is a list of my favorite Dark Knight Posters, you’ve seen them all, but which one is your favorite. Find out which one is mine.
10. A basic poster that had a decently cool design.
9. Fun to look at, at the first time, but overly used.
8. I enjoy this poster alot and it never gets much recognition.
7. A neat design, but the idea could’ve made for a better poster.
6. I love this poster because its the only extreme close-up on the Joker’s face. I would’ve liked to see something more than just HA, though.
5. A very colorful, yet moody design.
4. An excellent poster. Simple, yet dark.
3. A very cool poster showing all three main characters in creative ways.
2. The original Dark Knight tag line poster is one to be remembered with its creative and grisly design.
P.S. The red letters under the the website name uncoded say: A TASTE FOR THE THEATRICAL
1. Some may disagree with my number one, but I think this poster perfectly shows The Joker’s insanity and lust for destruction. It’s intense and shows the realism of the now iconic villain.
Through the years movies have been made based on comic books, graphic novels or comic book characters. Some have been excellent movies worthy of the praise any other movie might get in a different less childish genre. Some have not been so good, anyone remember Daredevil or X-Men 3. Well, this list isn’t about the comic book movies that were terrible, it’s about the comic book movies that were good. When you here comic book, you might think of super powers, but that’s not always true. In fact, more than half the movies on the list don’t involve any powers. Well here’s a list of my top ten favorite movies based on comic books or comic book characters:
10. The Mask
The decently comically written movie was made hilarious by funny man Jim Carrey.
9. A History of Violence
The grisly crime thriller, is well acted, violent and intelligently woven.
8. Batman
The original Tim Burton film was fun to watch because of the beautiful sets and the hysterical performance by Jack Nicholson.
7. The Incredible Hulk
The action sequences were intense and creative, while the acting was top-notch.
6. Spider-Man
The original Spider-Man was an excellent way to get the genre started back again.
5. Iron Man
This was an excellent film filled with entertaining scenes and acting.
4. V for Vendetta
A dark and entertaining criticism on society.
3. Sin City
This Pulp Fiction hybrid is visually spectacular.
2. Batman Begins
A dark and moody film that started a series of perfection.
1. The Dark Knight
A flawless film about good vs. evil and the choices they are forced to make. The Dark Knight isn’t just the greatest comic book movie, but also one of the greatest movies of all time.
The reason I love The Dark Knight is because it is the most perfect rendition I have ever seen of good vs. evil and that evil that I’m talking about is my #1 favorite character of all time, and I don’t see any character surpassing The Joker, because what you have is an evil so psychotic, so sadistic, and with zero empathy for the world he’s destroying in his path that nothing he does next would surprise you unless it was something good. He’s genius in all he wrong ways because he faces his enemies with impossible choices and enjoys watching them scrirm. He’s not even able to kill the one person who stands in his way because he enjoys the thrill of having a nemesis, because he understands that like the Devil needs god, evil needs good, and The Joker needs Batman or life would just be so boring. From the many ways Joker got his scars to The Joker’s twisted logic of what’s right and wrong, the Joker is the greatest character in film history in my opinion and I dare you to argue that fact.
Actor: Heath Ledger
Quote: “You, you just couldn’t let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are, incorruptable aren’t you? You won’t kill me out of some miplaced sense of self-righteousness and I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I get the feeling you and I are destined to do this, forever.”
Action: Burns an incredibly large amount of money just so he can “watch the world burn”.

P.S. Now all 50 characters are posted and you can check them all here.
Last weekend, The Dark Knight was in it’s third weekend and I didn’t write this article last week because I honestly believed that The Dark Knight could beat The Mummy 3 in its third weekend and I was right. The Dark Knight was higher in its third week than Mummy was in its first by 1.4 million dollars. Now is where everyone is saying that The Dark Knight is going to fall, they’re saying that it will never beat Titanic or even go another weekend on top. Well I say that we as fans can and will proof these non-believers wrong like we did last weekend let’s show them all what’s possible when it comes to this movie.
This spectacular movie has broken almost every record in the book and I’m aiming for it to beat one more and that’s to beat Titanic out of the top spot for most money made Domestically. Titanic has made $600,788,188 Domestically. So far, The Dark Knight has made $394,887,000. What’s a measly little $200,000,000 when it comes to a movie this good, if there’s one movie that could do it, it’s The Dark Knight whose broken the record for most money made in a span of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and even 10 days. It even broke the record for most made in the first weekend, which most said was impossible, but we as fans proofed them wrong. Well, let’s proof them wrong again with The Dark Knight’s Last Stand.
If like me and are a fan of The Dark Knight than read on, if your like me and enjoy The Dark Knight more than Titanic than read on, if your also like me and want to see the movie with Heath Ledger’s final completed performance make more than Titanic Domestically, than read on please. I have seen The Dark Knight several times so far and am going to see it at least twice this weekend. If you have not seen The Dark Knight yet, please go see it, you will not regret it, the movie is astounding and anyone who has seen it will tell you the same unless they’re just trying to be an outcast. If you already have seen the movie, see it again this weekend, multiple times. Let’s as fans show the world that a movie this good is able to be better than it previous weekends, probably not its first or second, but at least substantially higher than its third, no that its third was bad because it did beat a movie that had a bit of a following. If you’re a Dark Knight send this URL to other Dark Knight fans, tell all the Dark Knight fans about what you read here, and force the people you know who haven’t seen it yet into their closest theater. If you are a true Dark Knight fan than post a comment here telling all viewers how many times you’ve seen the movie and how many times you plan to see the movie this weekend. Thank-You.
This post is dedicated to my favorite scenes from my new favorite movie, The Dark Knight. If I couldn’t find the scene, I described it, and If I couldn’t find the entire scene, I apologize. The Dark Knight is spectacular and every scene is great, but I did my best. See the movie if you haven’t yet, it has tobeat Titanc Domestically, but if you haven’t, don’t read ahead.
In honor of the loss of a great actor and a the coming of an amazing movie. I give you my top ten favorite lines from Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight. It was hard to pick a top ten because basically every single one of is lines is made memorable by this incredible performance, but I did my best. Here they are:
P.S.: This post contains spoilers, if you have not seen the movie (do), but don’t read this until you have.
!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
First, the quotes that almost made it on the list (in no particular order):
“It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message. Everything burns!”
“I’m like a dog chasing cars, I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one, you know, I’d just do…things.”
“Let’s put a smile on that face!”
“Those mob fools want you gone. So they can get back to the way things were. But I know the truth, there’s no going back. You’ve changed things…forever.”
“And I thought my jokes were bad.”
Top Ten:
10. “The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight, you’re gonna break your one rule.”
9. “Do you want to know why I use a knife? You see, guns are too quick. You can’t savor all of the little…emotions. In their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way…I knew your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?”
8. “I believe… whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.”
7. (When told that he has a 50% chance of living) “Ummm, Now we’re talkin.”
6. “Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I’m an agent of chaos , and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.”
5. “I don’t wanna kill you, what would I do without you? Go back to rippin’ off mob dealers… no, no, no… no you, you complete me.”
4. “You can’t rely on anyone these days, you gotta do everything yourself, don’t we? That’s ok, I came prepared, it’s a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?”
3. “I took gotham’s white knight and I brought ‘im down to our level. Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push. ”
2. “Don’t talk like one of them, you’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak–like me. They need you right now. When they don’t…they’ll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their code: it’s a bad joke. They’re dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see, when the chips are down these civilized people will eat each other. Ya see I’m not a monster, I was just ahead of the curve.”
1. “You… you just couldn’t let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptable aren’t you. You won’t kill me because of some misplaced sense of self-rightousness. And I won’t kill you because…you’re just too much fun. I get the feeling that you and I are destined to do this forever.”
R.I.P. Heath, and thank-you for giving the world a performance of a life time.
