So, have not seen Dark Knight (although I loved the graphic novel - it's based on the one of the same title, right?), and probably won't until it shows up at the $2 theater, on DVD, or maybe even HBO, where John will turn it on in the last third of the movie (or I'll come home from work and catch him in the middle of it), and then catch earlier bits of it on subsequent showings. It seems most of the recent movies that have come out lately, I see in chunks. It was thus we saw the most recent Die Hard movie. I've now seen the end three times in the last week, and still haven't seen the beginning.

One thing strikes me though. For the last month, the Joker movie posters have been all over the place, especially bus stops, and it kept niggling at me that they reminded me of something. I finally figured out what it was.

This is the bus stop poster:

dark_knight_ver12

And this is what it's reminding me of:

crow_ver3

Similar face lowered, arms away from the body position, similar white make-up, similar length of stringy hair...

And both actors passed away before the movie came out (Lee died during filming). Weird.

yeah those posters have always seemed very eerily crow-like to me as well =/

That's odd... and kind of freaky.

I haven't seen it yet either. I might try going to a matinee showing.
