The Dark Knight

Remember Batman Begins? My personal favorite of the Batman movies, it was a bit different from the others. At the end, Gordon gives batman “a calling card” found at the scene of a robbery (if I remember correctly). It was a single card from a deck…the Joker.

In The Dark Knight, slated for an ‘08 release, we see what seems to be the beginning of The Joker in the Batman films. It’s a bit odd, though. They don’t seem to be simply remaking the Batfilms, but making a new, different, one. It’s not supposed to fit in with the old movies, obviously. Why not? In the original Batman movie, Bruce Wayne had not prior meeting with The Joker. So what’s going on? They’re making a sort of parallel series that’s different from the old ones. Basically, Batman Begins was the start of a new series of Batman films that are different from the old ones.

Whatever.
