(Actually that's not totally true; there was one moment in the movie that struck me as racist, but it was really only one moment, and it does not strike me as more racist than everything else on TV and in the movies. I know that that's not saying much.)<BR/>A Person Who'd Know suggested that the Joker parts of the plot may have been heavily influenced by Alan Moore's <I>The Killing Joke</I>, which I have read, but not lately. I have not read <I>The Dark Knight</I>, but may have to, in hopes that it will explain the one weird plot point I referred to in my post.<BR/>I cannot wait to have the opportunity to have this conversation with you in person.bzzzzgrrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506314837586082113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338513037473123018.post-8459402695861867012008-07-24T16:56:00.000-04:002008-07-24T16:56:00.000-04:00I've read the graphic novel "The Dark Knight" and ...I've read the graphic novel "The Dark Knight" and while it is groundbreaking and stylish, I also find it reactionary and racist. Just one of my issues with Frank Miller, the author/artist. Whether that carries over into the movie, I don't know, I haven't seen it yet, and I've avoided the hype.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338513037473123018.post-29098485191607533422008-07-24T16:48:00.000-04:002008-07-24T16:48:00.000-04:00Wiki Commons.
