Why so Serious?

Because my bladder was about to explode!!! Oh my, I must say what relief I found after rushing out of The Dark Knight and finding the bathroom. As the story goes, I sat down after getting my large Icee, which is a bit of a movie tradition for me, I felt "the urge" to go, but decided to spare the poor people I had just passed (as the movie had just started) and try to hold it. And as many of you know, it's a LONG freaking movie, so, deciding to not use the facilities was not the brightest idea; however, I managed to survive and much to my bladder's chagrin, not miss a minute of the movie. But, I digress...

I found The Dark Knight, to be the darkest of all comic book movies and a VERY intense PG-13 film. I found the characters compelling and I was constantly pleased with the modern (and very believable) take on the Batman story; additionally, I loved Michael Cain as Alfred and Heath Ledger's performance was nothing short of genius! Maggie Gyllenhal, was twenty billion times better than that Scientology freak who once filled Rachael's now nonexistent shoes and Christian Bale continues to show why he is the best Batman yet. And I was very happy to see the continued moral code Batman refused to break, and was intrigued by the examination of crime, the ways to effectively fight it and the consequences of such. Overall, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely have to watch it again, this time without the need to go to the bathroom, so as not to be doing the "potty dance" and leg twitch, which are both, ever so distracting!
