"RETRACTION: I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT 'THE DARK KNIGHT'" Sat Jan-30-10 04:10 PM by Orbit_Established
Saw it again.
Long time ago I said it was about (C).
I said the worst part of the movie was the fact that the Joker broke laws of space-time, had no physical psychological or intellectual limits, at all, and was pretty much invincible.
I said mean things to you nerds for crying about how "X or Y" wasn't "feasible" in other movies, then turning right around and defending all this silly impossible nonsense in 'The Dark Knight'
I said that the whole Two-Face diversion was silly that it almost bordered on hilarity.
Oh, the other stuff still sucks and its still about a (C) overall.
But LOL @ Batman's voice. I'm going to start calling it 'THE LISTERINE KNIGHT'. In every scene Batman was in I wanted to tackle the nigga(n/h) and make the nigga gargle with Listerine.
He talked like he got strep throat.
Odd, because when I saw it first, I actually didn't mind the voice.
Oh, and I'm peeping how y'all nerds are nit-picking 'Avatar' and yet didn't nitpick TDK.

I dont get when people say this regarding Listerine. I always feel he needs a Ricola or a cherry flavored Ludens cough drop. Listerine seems like it would make his throat more scratch but his breath would be fresh.

If he gargled after that first scene in the police dept, he could have graduated to some Ludens by the end of the movie.
But he'd have to get there gradually.
Listerine --> Halls --> Ricola --> Ludens
I'd still make him gargle with listerine anyway, because he can't be having no cough drops in his mouth when he's trying to save Gotham. It could go down the wrong pipe and he'd choke. That's not a good luck for justice and peace.
Listerine? Gargle, spit it out, and keep it moving
5. "Avatar was overly simplistic; Dark Knight became convoluted" In response to Reply # 4
Avatar could have done more; the Dark Knight needed to do less.
And I'm also going to give Avatar points for not requiring a monologue ever 5 minutes in order to convey the message that they were trying to get across.

This last point is quiet magma. GODDAMN was TDK cheesy with all its "justice" monologues and exchanges. Even the JOKER was cheesin' EXPLAINING his love of Chaos...I almost LAUGHED OUT LOUD that it was so corny.
But on the real: How can niggas nitpick and complain about lack of realisticness of some shit on ANOTHER PLANET and then turn around and IGNORE the WORSE inconsistencies in TDK?

... but then he used the voice around people who already know he's Bruce Wayne. You'd think at some point Christopher Nolan would've gone, "Uh, Christian? Could you dial back the growl just a tad?"
