Wolverine continues the tradition of the X-Men Classic Chapter, wearing his brown and yellow costume from the 1980s, complete with reddish-orange belt and pointed cowl. The mutant brawler springs into attack with his left arm slashing upwards and his right poised for the next blow, while his face is frozen in an angry grimace.

The Dark Knight is Intense!

If I had to pick one word to sum up The Dark Knight, it would be intense. This movie grabs you and does not let go for 2.5 hours.

The Dark Knight delivers on so many levels that it makes me want to destroy all of the other Batman movies in my DVD collection (except Batman Begins).

Writer/Director, Christopher Nolan, has done an amazing job here, making a sequel even better than the original, and turning a comic book into a crime thriller on par with films like Heat and The Departed.

Fair warning, though. This is not Iron Man or Spider-Man. The Dark Knight is, well, dark. The Joker is the most disturbing comic book villain ever, and the way that he is brought to life on screen is brilliant!

All of the praise for Heath Ledger as the Joker is deserved and not hype. I don’t even think that I can watch Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton’s Batman without cringing.

Christian Bale continues to shine as both Bruce Wayne and Batman, but, he really needs to work on his Batman voice a bit. There are moments when he comes across very nasally and I could barely understand what he was saying as Batman.

Aaron Eckhart is perfectly cast as Harvey Dent, Gotham’s “White Knight” district attorney, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes makes us forget about Katie Holmes in Batman Begins.

Gary Oldman really gets to shine as Detective Jim Gordon, and the always fun to watch, Morgan Freeman, delivers as always.

The Dark Knight will likely be the #1 movie of the summer, and professional critics are already talking numerous Oscar noms, including Best Picture.

So, don’t wait to see this one. Beat the heat outside and prepare to see one of the best comic book movies ever and the best movie of 2008!

Heath Ledger Joker Collectibles Going Fast

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:27:28 +0000

Batman: The Dark Knight hits theaters on July 18, but a variety of collectibles featuring Christan Bale as Batman and Heath Ledger as the Joker, are already hitting the market. As expected, the Heath Ledger Joker items are selling out very quickly, due to his untimely death, and the fact that the Joker is his last big film role.

Here at Alter Ego Comics, we’ve already sold out of the 1/6 Scale Joker action figure and the Joker mini bust. But we’ve still got a few Joker items left. Snap up the Joker Statue by DC Direct now! It’s due out on July 16, but it’s already sold out at the manufacturer level. At this moment, we only have a handful left to sell.

We also have the very cool, and inexpensive, Dark Knight Joker Bobble Head by NECA. Buy it by itself or as part of a set with the Dark Knight Batman Bobble Head.

And don’t miss The Dark Knight, in theaters on July 18.
