The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight was far more disturbing than I anticipated. The Joker is completely different from the Jack Nicholson version.

Reasons why I like the new Joker:

He burns big piles of money, so at least someone is trying to stop the inflation of the U.S. dollar.

He has a very strong understanding of game theory, notably the prisoner's dilemma

He pushes Batman to the edge and forces Batman to engage in warrantless wiretapping.

Hate to do this to such a good movie but George W. Bush is really the Batman.
