I saw a lengthy preview of this movie before watching I Am Legend in IMAX and I think it's going to be great. I wasn't a big fan of the first film, but I'll re-watch it again because I missed some bits and pieces.

Harvey Dent is Central To Plot

While everyone?s eyes are on the cackling Joker in the next Batman feature, The Dark Knight, IGN reports that Christopher Nolan, the director of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, says perhaps we should focus our attention elsewhere. The Joker may be the most high profile of the characters in Dark Knight, and it?s easy to see why. The Joker is one of the most lasting and iconic figures of pop culture, due in large part to the portrayal by Jack Nicholson in the original Batman. However,in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Nolan said:

?Harvey Dent is a tragic figure, and his story is the backbone of this film.?

And to fans of the comic, this makes a lot of sense. Harvey Dent (played by Aaron Eckhart) is a District Attorney for the city of Gotham, and will feature as the main villian in the next sequel, after he disintegrates into Two Face, a character last played on the big screen by Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever, around which time the last Batman franchise started becoming a byword for laughable. Harvey Dent himself has never really been a focus of a Batman movie, and it seems that Nolan intends to change all that, by focusing on the character before he becomes a villain and showing a more human side.

However, Nolan didn?t dismiss the Joker?s character completely whilst lauding Dent?s, he went on to say:

?The Joker, he sort of cuts through (The Dark Knight), ? He?s got no story arc, he?s just a force of nature tearing through. Heath has given an amazing performance in the role, it?s really extraordinary.?

In fairness, if the character is needed in the third film - I hardly see a problem. To take nothing away from Ledger - I do have to say that the character is so stylized, that another actor should be able to portray him well enough.

    • On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously
    • I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
    • The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).
    • Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
