I think I have two favorite parts of the Dark Knight. (My two favorite parts today that is)

They prob contain spoilers, so for the two of you that haven’t seen it yet, let’s talk about that in a second.

If you saw it this weekend chances are you saw the Watchmen trailer preceding it. I haven’t read Watchmen, although I started to earlier this year and then had to return it. However this trailer makes me want to buy it and read it right now.

Seriously - what an EXCELLENT trailer!

Barely any dialog, awesome Pumpkins song (which was on the WTF - Batman and Robin soundtrack) and strange iconic visuals. Dudes turning into multiplicity blue alien men, blowing up and flamethrowing Vietcong while laughing and smoking cigars? Throngs of people angry and rioting? A weird submarine ship comes out of the water and flies by a cityscape that features the Twin Towers?? This thing did everything a trailer should do - it didn’t give away too many plot points but was interesting and just confusing enough to make you want to know more.

Well, maybe just make people in my special demographic want to know more.

Batman -

1. “They told me one of us is going to die and they’d let our friends decide.”

2. When the clock strikes midnight and the look on the Joker’s face.

There’s probably twenty other moments that are just as good, those are just the two that I’ve been stewing over the most recently.
