Why So Serious?
In my previous post I anticipated the comic book event the release of The Dark Knight, see my post at http://www.comicbookjournal.net/death-of-the-joker/ for the prequel to this post. I finally viewed the film and it far surpassed my expectations of not just a comic book movie, but a movie in general. I was relieved to see that Legendary Films did apparently little to edit Heath Ledger’s final finished performance, and it was a masterpiece for a finale. Ledger steals the show so to speak as his Joker far surpasses even that of Jack Nicholson. Go see this movie! It will change the way you see comic book movies, and even Batman as well. My only complaint with the film is it is a tad long, but I think Chris Nolan intentionally left action sequences linger to display the new technology he had to work with, especially the introduction into an imax camera for some extended scenes. July was an exciting month in the comics world with the release of the Dark Knight, an expanded trailer for Watchmen in 2009, Comic Con, and of course, some exciting solicitations for August and September. I’ll have part two of my July wrap up tomorrow posted and hopefully some in-depth convention announcement coverage and even perhaps some reviews. Who has time to read anymore? Smile, Why so serious?!

Hey, this is a bit irrelevant, but I noticed your blog page loaded lightning fast compared to mine. So I was wondering are you using dedicated hosting or shared hosting? thanks.
