I have to say I am extremely excited about The Dark Knight coming out. The movie looks to be fantastic. The viral marketing is like nothing I've ever seen before. Just check out Gotham Cable News, Gotham National Bank, and The Gotham Times for examples.

I thought Batman Begins was great and I knew they had to make another. Every preview for TDK I've seen has blown me away. This does not look like a comic book movie. This looks like a crime thriller, such as Heat. It's being compared to The Godfather II, meaning it's a sequel that is so good it blows the first film out of the water. There are even whispers going around that if Heath Ledger doesn't win an Oscar for this it will be a travesty. Christopher Nolan is a talented director and Christian Bale is one of the top actors in the business.

I'm counting down the days until its release. I've seen every Batman movie in the theater. I've seen every one, since the first back in 1989, when I was 6, with my dad. I'm looking forward to going with him. It's one of our traditions. 19 years of Batman movies. Thankfully, Christopher Nolan was able to revive the franchise after the horrible Batman and Robin and hopefully he'll come back for a third in the series reboot. Until then, I'll continue to drool over more news and previews of TDK and wait impatiently for the day my dad and I can see it together.
