[bigarms23]

i thought it was fantastic ledger definately stole  the movie. I thought it was the best sequal i have seen in a long time

[MiniSimp]

Ledger played the joker perfect!
I like that it was based in a more realistic world this time.

I saw it Midnight thursday.     had been waiting for months.

Ledgers acting as the joker was absolutely phenomenal.   But now that ledger is dead i don't think they can replace him. 

Its about time that they make a dark and gritty batman instead of all that neon    crap!  Needed to be darker!

The guy who played Harvey Dent did a good job as well.

Ledger played the joker perfect!
I like that it was based in a more realistic world this time.

[Wermz84]

O and it's Looooooong!   

[ajordan1975]

AWESOME!!!!

[gotrocks]

Like its been said already.  Ledger stole the show.  By far the best movie he's ever done.  Bale was not bad either.  I am a huge fan now of the batman movies. The original ones SUCKED and looked like c class movies compared to these.

I still have to say that the batmobile is just plain pimp.  I still love the fact that they have TSL's on it and thought that the bat bike would've been even cooler if they had swamper on it too.

I watched the first one sunday night just for the batmobile.   Love that thing.

I have watched the first one probably 8-10 times.  I like it almost as much as Transformers.  Which by the way is the best movie ever made.  I will be waiting for that sequel to come out too. 

[bigarms23]

Batman star, Christian Bale, arrested after 'attacking his mother and sister in hotel suite'

David Brown
Christian Bale, the actor who plays Batman, was arrested yesterday by detectives investigating claims that he assaulted his mother and sister the day before the London premiere of The Dark Knight.

Bale, 34, was questioned about claims that he attacked the women in his suite at the Dorchester Hotel on Sunday. His mother, Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, lodged a formal complaint at a Hampshire police station on Monday. The allegation was referred to the Metropolitan Police.

One source said that police had delayed questioning the actor to avoid disrupting the opening of the film: "It would have been wrong to wreck the premiere over a complaint which we do not yet know is founded in truth."

The actor voluntarily attended a Central London police station yesterday morning to be questioned about the alleged assault at the five-star hotel in Park Lane.

He left yesterday afternoon after four hours of questioning. A Scotland Yard spokesman said that he had been released on bail until a date in September, pending more inquiries.

The Dark Knight, a crime saga about the vigilante character Batman and his wealthy alter ego, Bruce Wayne, took a record $158.4 million (£75 million) in the US at the weekend.

The assault allegation is the latest trouble to be associated with the film. In January the Australian actor Heath Ledger, who plays The Joker, died from a drug overdose aged 28. A special effects technician was killed last September in a stunt car accident.

Bale was born in Haverfordwest in South Wales, to David Bale, a former RAF pilot and businessman, and his second wife, Jenny James, a circus performer. The actor has two older sisters, Sharon and Louise, and a half-sister, Erin, from his father's first marriage. His father died in 2003.

After the family left Wales when Bale was 2, his childhood was spent on the move, with periods in Portugal and America and a four-year spell in Bournemouth.

In an interview in 2004, Bale's mother recalled how he was bullied while at school in Bournemouth after appearing aged 13 in the Steven Spielberg epic Empire of the Sun.

"The bullying was quite bad and it made him very sad. It really put him off the film and stardom thing," Mrs Bale said. "At the time he did not want to do any more acting. But he got over it and he has done really well - we're so pleased for him."

Bale recalled his British schooldays, saying: "Girls were all over me. Boys just wanted to fight me." He has been married for eight years to Sibi Blazic, a model and former personal assistant to the actress Winona Ryder, and they have a three-year-old daughter, Emmaline. They met when he starred with Ryder in Little Women. He appeared with Ewan McGregor in Velvet Goldmine and also starred in American Psycho.

Bale became a recognised film star after his role in Batman Begins in 2005. He now lives in Los Angeles.

Yeah my wife told me about it.  I'm going to hold out on opinions until more information comes out.

[bigarms23]

i heard this morning on bbc news that bale started yelling at his mom and sister and the people in the next room called the police but every news channels keeps changing their stories. It probably started cause his mom and sister are joker fans

[Wermz84]

I have watched the first one probably 8-10 times.  I like it almost as much as Transformers.  Which by the way is the best movie ever made.  I will be waiting for that sequel to come out too. 

I was really impressed with the transformer movie.  thought it was well done.  I have high hopes for the sequel as well.


We'll see what comes out of these alligations.  saw it on the news this morning.

[Trunkz]

they changed the girl because katie holms turned them down, not that i mind i dont like her anyway

[Wermz84]

I thought that Tom Cruise didnt want her to do it.  because he is now.

[slabcs]

Technically Lord Xenu made her turn down the role, but that's neither here nor there.
