You know though the film was beautifully made, after just watching this again what is scary to me is not the joker so much, what is scary is that the adult population in America has such a mentality that the material appeals to them in a way as if the emotional IQ of the American male is about three years of age, maybe four, and they buy this stuff.

Didn't the director of this version of Batman make the b.o. flop, Transcendence? Wasn't that film pilfered from William Thien's novel The Dream Chip? Why is Hollywood so afraid of this guy named William Thien and his novel The Dream Chip? Hollywood isn't entertainment, it's socialist, big government propaganda. One should not have to pay for propaganda. Six stars for being well made.
