I can't find where, but I remember someplace in this thread, someone asked for a link to the scene where The Joker explains why he uses knives. Well, I couldn't find the direct link, but here's a nice transcript I found: The Joker: I want...I want my phone call. I want my phone call. Detective Stephens: That's nice. The Joker: How many of your friends have I killed? Detective Stephens: I'm a twenty year man. I can tell the difference between punks who need a little lesson in manners... and the freaks like you who would just enjoy it. [pause] Detective Stephens: And you've killed six of my friends. The Joker: [faking interest, mouths "Ten"] Do you wanna know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the...little..emotions. And..you see..in their last moments...people show you who they really are. So, in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which one of them were cowards?Looks like six to me. I don't see why he would mouth ten. That would imply that Joker keeps track of how many people he kills. Does he really look like a guy who keeps track of things? I can't tell if it's '6' or '10' anymore. It looks like either.

He is mouthing six. He's being a wiseass and trying to get under the cops skin by feigning concern.
Like "Ohhhhhh Six... That's a lot isn't it?"

Question.
I've already seen the film twice now. Both times in the crappy theater I have here in town. However, I'm going to be spending the weekend in a town that has a very nice theater (Warren Theaters, for those of you who've heard of them), but there is also a drive in theater in town. So should I go see it in the nice theater, or the drive in?

I'd personally go to the nice theater. Mainly because I don't see Batman as a Drive-In kind of movie. Also, I've never been to a drive-in so I'd be turning down the chance to go for the first time in that case.

This movie has made more in one day than Cool as Ice did for its entire run.
Think about that.

Saw it in IMAX today. The wide shots of the city looked awesome. I found some of the twists to be a bit telegraphed, but I loved the creepy, chaos-driven Joker that just reveled in destruction and mayhem and turning the system against itself. I thought Ledger's performance was amazing, as were Eckhart and Bale. Gyllenhall, not so much. Kinda glad her character got killed off. Loved the magic pencil. Loved the "Slaughter is the best medicine" truck even more.

Not to mention....some of the stuff in there would DEFINITELY garner an R rating. Especially the way the Joker is done in.... How's that? SPoi1erZ!!!1111 You really want me to spoil it for you? It's actually pretty cool to go in blind, and have what happens just kick you in the gut with the sickness of it all. Tell me if you really want me to spoil it.

So should I go see it in the nice theater, or the drive in? See it in a shitty in theatre or a good theatre or a bad drive in. See the movie to see the movie. I have seen it four times on only once in a good IMAX.

You really want me to spoil it for you? It's actually pretty cool to go in blind, and have what happens just kick you in the gut with the sickness of it all. Tell me if you really want me to spoil it. Yes please!!!!!! Ok...... The Joker, who has spent the last decade catatonic, sees the media reports on the return of the Batman, snaps out of his funk and convinces his psychiatrist that he regrets his misdeeds. Seeking to discredit Batman, the psychiatrist appears with the Joker on a late-night show (reminiscent of David Letterman). Gordon finally retires and is replaced by Ellen Yindel, who is not a fan of Batman and whose first act as Commissioner is to issue an arrest warrant. She is also suspicious of the Joker and orders some of the police force to be on hand during the TV appearance. While the bulk of the police attempt to apprehend Batman, the Joker murders everyone in the television studio and escapes. Batman and Robin learn that the Joker is planning a mass killing at the country fair, where Batman defeats the Joker in a violent showdown. Batman has come to the realization that if he had indeed killed the Joker earlier instead of putting him in jail, where he would escape again and again (a common superhero theme), many innocent lives would have been saved. Batman comes short of killing the Joker by merely breaking his neck; the Joker expresses disappointment in Batman for not killing him. He twists his own broken neck, effectively killing himself, intending for the police to charge Batman with murder.

Everyone burst into laughter in my screening when Joker did his "Magic Trick".
Also the Hospital Bomb got a laugh too, mainly when it started off pathetic and Joker stood there Pissed like he was thinking "Is that it?" then kept hammering the button, then BOOM!!!!!.

Well, hopefully I'll be able to confirm it tomorrow, as I'm planning on going again for the third (and possibly final) time to catch the AMC before noon special. (AKA AMCinema)

Something else I loved in the film; correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Dent's coin that he used before he become Two-Face a double sided coin, with the same image on each side? I only saw it once, so I'm trusting my memory right now.
If it was, I love the change it indicates in his character. As Harvey Dent, he had ALL his decisions made, and was completely comfortable with his moral compass. He used the coin to make people believe he was doing some stuff on the fly, hiding the fact that, all along, he was in complete control of the situation. Like when he interrogated the henchman, threatening to kill him.
As Two-Face, obviously, half the coin is burnt. NOW, he only believes in random chance, "the only true morality", or whatever he called it.
Another thought: has there been a more destructive villain in recent movie history than Joker? Good God, he caused a lot of property damage.

I suddenly had the image of the two just holding up their respective coins saying nothing but "call it," "No, you call it." "I said first." "Come on, call it" "You call it first, I'll call it right after."
