You're Just a Freak, Like Me

Tonight at midnight, The Dark Knight is released in the US. I have been waiting for this movie for a long, long time. I don't read comics anymore but I still have some strong attachments to some of the characters from my youth, including Batman. I loved when Burton's came out in '89 and liked the next one. Well everyone knows the awfulness after that with Mr Freeze and stupid Chris O'donnel as a horrible Robin. Well Christopher Nolan made all that go away with the brilliant Batman Begins, which brought the series back into as much of a reality that a man dressed up as a bat beating up bad guys can be in. Now we have the sequel, and what looks to be a legend making performance of the Joker by the great Heath Ledger. We are seeing it on IMAX Sunday afternoon, and I think I might make myself a cape to wear before then. Maybe a utility belt.
