I'm finally going to get out to see the Dark Knight tomorrow. My buddy is taking me to go see it on the IMAX for my birthday. The film looks amazing. I love what Christopher Nolan did to Batman Begins. Someone made a brilliant decision in handing off a floundering franchise to a bold and dynamic storyteller like Nolan. It was a big risk, with his only known work to be such a bizarre and unconventional story that is Memento. It will be interesting to see what happens to the franchise if Nolan does not come back for another film. Will the pendulum swing back the other way? Will the grittiness of the last two Batman films yield to its campy television days as it did with Schumaker? I hope not, but we'll see...
