Who's Ledger, should I know the name? I know Bale was in American Psycho, which was excellent.

Heath Ledger - A Knight's Tale, Casanova, Ned Kelly - plays the Joker in The Dark Knight, killed himself chemically recently.

Personally I know him as the eldest son of Gibson in The Patriot.

That was honestly the only movie I've ever seen him in. The rest "weren't my cup of tea", so to speak.

I think it looks like his performance will be amazing, though I suppose I should reserve judgement until it comes out. :wink:

The fact that he died soon after will add to the spookyness of it.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Here's a bit more. I'm getting a bit anxious, honestly. :D

I'm going to see it tonight (for free, plus I get beer - the Alamo Drafthouse rocks), and after dealing with Uzume today, I'm really looking forward to something fun.

Everybody's f*cking plans changed at the last minute, so I didn't get to see it last night. :evil:

I'm going to take my mom to see it at an IMAX theater in a week or so, instead. :D

I saw it Friday afternoon, and it matched the hype. I have no complaints whatsoever and I pray that Nolan and company come back to do a third. Ledger is so awesomely creepy as The Joker, and he had numerous funny moments as well. Ekhart delivers a fantastic performance as Harvey Dent and Bale once again proves he is the greatest Batman ever.

That's what I've heard, but I'll have to wait - in the greater New York metro area, I'm led to believe that tickets are sold out approx. 5 - 7 days in advance.

I'm sorry to hear that, man. I dearly hope no one spoils it for you in the mean time. You might have to put yourself in a hermetically sealed chamber for a few days to be sure. :D
