Description
So...I watched The Dark Knight last Thursday with my best friend and my sister and... I just can't express with words what a flawless work of art this film truly is. "A perfect ten. An eleven even" I told a friend and mark my words.
I usually go to the movies unbiased, even if I'm about to watch a movie based upon a character I dearly love, just to let the actors and the director tell their tale; later, I can judge wether I liked it or not, based upon the way they told their story. With this film, I was a 10-year-old again. I had loved Batman Begins so much that I just expected Chistopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Cane, Aaron Eckhart and everyone in the film to blow me away. And they did. In every possible way.
As I stated, this movie is a true work of art: from the brilliant performances of every actor in it (Ledger most of all) to the most sublime way it is paced and filmed by Mr. Nolan. After watching it, I was literally breathless and I came home to find my hand paying tribute to it in the only way I can convey my feelings when I'm at a loss for words. To me, true art generates more art, and this film has generated this desire in me to create, to depict what I felt sitting in that cinema for whatever the movie's length was (which is unnoticeable!).
I hope this does it some justice... my hat is off to this movie, the best I've seen in a long time.
Go watch it. I'll do it again this week.

I guess true art really does generate more art, because you've inspired me to do some TDK-based artwork as well. Awesome pic, awesome gallery.

It's always a true pleasure to hear I've inspired artwork, mate; and even more so when it's going to be about one of my favourite movies! I look forward to it, and make sure you link me to it!
Thanks for the compliments and see you soon!

So, I just got home from seeing it. And through about the first half hour, I was wondering why everyone thought it was so great. But after that it just kept getting better. I liked it alot.

Seen it twice now, and I agree. I didn't think they could possibly top Batman Begins, but they did it!
I love your drawing of the Joker here. Wasn't he a magnificent character?
π: 0 β©: 1
He was, as well as everyone else involved in it and I think that's what makes this film so BIG; the fact that everyone in it gave an excellentt performance and they were all directed with a purpose by Mr. Nolan.
Thank you for the compliments, as usual, Kat!

....You could always ask for a big bag of money.
......That's what I do. ;]

Nah... money can't compare to the ladies telling you your art is awesome. I'll take that everytime
Nic.-

Hmm...I dunno what that feeling's like. Most men don't like my art cause I don't draw enough females. I prefer drawing men. <3 And...y'know...guys my age are like, "Girls are hot!" And that's the only thought they have.

Guys your age? I think that pretty much applies to every man in the planet!

Que gran trabajo! Yo tambien adorΓ© la pelicula! me encanta como en las dos peliculas que lleva Nolan se ha permitido retratar a Batman tan obscuro como es relamente. Y el GuasΓ³n de esta pelicula me hizo temblar de verdad... (y reirme algunas veces). Me encanta como lograste capturar la escencia de la pelicula!
π: 0 β©: 1
Β‘Gracias, como siempre, Alhena! Me alegra que mi imagen le haya justicia a la gran pelΓcula que Nolan ha hecho, junto a todos los actorazos involucrados. Es mi primera vez dibujando a ambos personajes, Batman y el Joker asi que es un logro que haya gustado tanto entre mis 'watchers' y que muchos hayan ido con inclusive MΓS ganas a ver esta obra maestra.
Un abrazo.

You'll love it, Andy. And I'm sure that, having a keen eye for composition and character construction yourself, you'll be delighted with the performances and pace of this one...

Excellent. Your style is perfect for the good-ol-american look of these iconic heros and villains. I didn't read the comment to much for my paranoid fear of spoilers haha. I still have yet to see it, but I'm hearing good things. Joker's face is especially awesome here.
