Dark Knight

You know what is difficult? To take a movie that I already love and do a remake that I like even more. Well, this may just happen when The Dark Knight comes out in theaters this next summer. I should admit that I expect that this film will be entirely different from the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson but there will undoubtedly be comparisons. This new Batman franchise that emerged with Batman Begins has enthralled everyone. Who didn't love the new badass Dark Knight that stayed away from the soft loving character that was portrayed in many of the previous shows?

I am so glad that Michael Caine is back as Alfred Pennyworth, he is perfect for the part. After reading up a bit on the cast of the Dark Knight, it looks like there may be another villain besides the Joker played by Heath Ledger that will be showing up in this one. Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, which will be played by Aaron Eckhart will make an appearance but rumors are inconclusive if he will actually be fighting against Batman in this movie. Sweet, I can't wait!
