The dark knight movie just broken any box office there is (except the one set by the movie titanic) and it lived up to all the hype and expectation that us movie goers set.

I recently watched this movie with a friend and it was money well spent! It did not disappoint and every minute in the story has some twist and plot to watch out for. Though the movie showcases the characteristics and principles of the dark knight (a.k.a. batman), in the eyes of many, this was the joker’s show. Not only to pay homage to heath ledger but his portrayal of the joker was top-notched!! You won’t see a hint of ledger in the movie but the ever psychotic and twisted joker. From the attitude to the voice, from the gimmick to the infamous trademark psychotic laugh, everything was there and it was all too perfect!

Now I’m not the type that will watch a batman animation (much less movie) but I’ve been a fan of the joker just recently when I saw his new image in the animation the batman. There has been a couple of tweeks and overhaul in his image and the most noticeable of them all was his hair and the buffed body. But when I saw ledger’s portrayal as the joker… I was in awe! It was truly one of the best that I’ve seen!

I am a cosplay dude and I’m sure as hell that am gonna see a lot of joker cosplayers on the upcoming conventions.

But for the record, the joker is the show!
