Building the Hype. The Dark Knight


As if the film needs more hype than it already has. This film's hype is crazy. Probably the craziest hype ever in the history of film. I mean, even if Batman Begins doesn't really has that power to bring down the box-office much like Spider-Man film which of course, had you asked me, a clearly understatement, the duo Chris Nolan and Christian Bale still heralded by many as ones who responsible to revive the legacy of the second greatest detective in the fiction history (second only to Sherlock Holmes) and we, self-acclaimed Batman fans were ready to eat anything they had to offer as a sequel. Added to that, Warner Bros. has been throwing us gimmicks regarding the film more than we could chew. Added to that, again, the death of Heath Ledger the dude who plays the main villain, the glorious villain that many has come to accustomed with as probably the ultimate villain Batman ever had, surely upped the ante of the anticipation level.

Anyways, news has it that Indonesia is among the first country who has the privilege to see The Dark Knight earlier than most along with Australia (the home country of Heath Ledger) and Philippines. I sincerely hope that it would be the case for if it is true, i would skip work on July 16th. Now, if i could find an old Joker costume and could muster enough courage to don it on the screening day, that would be a blast.

As much as it tempted me, I won't indulge myself to spoilers and as far as I'm concerned, I could say that I still relatively safe from being spoiled.
