Batman is Serious Business

I saw The Dark Knight last Friday and, despite all of the insufferable hype that has been affixed to it, the film does not disappoint. I think it's a fantastic film, but I'm not quite sure it's as good as the first. The first film explores Batman a little more thoroughly than the second does and in The Dark Knight it feels that Batman is something of a side note to the Joker. That's just me picking nits, though. It's a great movie.

There is one thing that I hated about it, though. It has nothing to do with the film itself. It's more of a byproduct of the film. Remember when people started quoting Dave Chappelle and Superbad?

Now you're going to hear people start saying "Why so serious" all the time. Thank you, makers of The Dark Knight. Thank you. Even as I type this I know some jerk is going to leave a comment asking why I'm so serious.


In other news, Mike Myers has said that The Love Guru was a tribute to his recently-deceased father. He must have really hated his dad.
