what do quotation marks have to do with with anything. if anything, you are specifying that the joker is "funny" haha.

lets see, i know what the plot was, it was fairly easy to follow. i can only recall 2 fireball explosions in the entire movie, 1 chase scene, lighting? well, the majority of the movie is supposed to be at night, so deal with it. do you suppose that the critics (bear in mind, these are professionals that who watch and review hundreds of films per year) gave it good review because a. they thought it was a good movie, or b. they were worried about public perseption of giving a bad review to a movie because the star had died?

i will give you an example of why the "b" idea is bs. pop singer, aaliyah, died during the filming of her movie, queen of the damned. did the critics sing praise on that movie, simply because she died? nope, the movie sucked and they call it right.

brandon lee was killed during the filming of the crow. the movie was given great reviews. why? cause it was a great movie. it too was a movie that was dark, involved characters that talked like they had throat cancer, and face paint. the movie was great and the critics called it right...just like the dark knight.
