i'll tell you why

ok whoever directs the ad campaigns for the new batman movie is a genius. he/she has successfully made me both excited to the point where spontaneous combustion would be an unsurprising cause of death and terrified beyond all reasoning.

i think it's the general consensus that batman begins was easily the best batman movie ever made. therefore anyone that views this new movie next summer, will probably die upon seeing the opening credits. i think the dark knight will make batman begins look like my puppy's doo doo. this movie is going to be beyond belief.

i grew up on batman (the cartoon). and enjoyed the movies made in the 90's. he was always my favorite. and to be completely honest i always thought that the joker was a little bit... lame. he was more of a nuisance than anything. half of the time his crimes backfired and the other half... well they weren't that amazing. to me at least. when i found out that heath ledger was playing the joker i was interested and thought that he would play the villain according to my vision of the cartoon. these posters and the trailer changed all of that.

i am completely and utterly terrified of the joker at this point.

the way he is portrayed in the movie... i would be out of that city faster than you could say "go go batmobile" this joker is the thing of nightmares, folks.

both of these posters show the joker with a menacing looking knife, that i would bet my face, is used for "elongating ones' mouth." both posters also ask "why so serious?" you want to know why i'm so serious? because there is a fucking psychopath dressed as a clown running around my city. that's why.

overall, the trailer and the posters made me about 400% more excited for the movie than i already was. rock on.
