I love the movie. But didn't enjoy the novelization much, especially in the first quarter of the book. After that, as the book progressed, I started to engage with it more.
5 starsNice to have a novelization of the Dark Knight. Liked that it talked about what happened in Batman Begins. Wish that it talked more about the Joker. Still want to know what the Joker's real name is.What did you think of the Justice League trailer?
It was... okay. No substitute for the film, of course, no book could ever hope to fully portray what the film did. Certain scenes were quoted almost right from the script with no attempts to delve into the thoughts and emotions of the characters, which is what probably irritated me the most. That's one reason I like to read film novelizations, to get at least one person's perspective on what lies behind the dialogue. O'Neil took the easy way out a little too often in this book for my tastes.
The biggest surprise is that the Joke doesn't die at the end. I understand the gameplan was that for Batman 3 was to have the Joker on trial.
It's hard to say whether I liked this book or not, there is no depth in the story or characters. It's like reading the screenplay of the batman movie, with the exact dialogues.Whatever scene or dialogue that felt so OP and badass in the movie, felt shallow in this book. There are few pages about the scarecrow that wasn't in the movie, but there is nothing more than the movie in the book. I'm not sure if that was the part of the agreement for the book or not.

Seen the movie? Read the book. Flows well and is, as expected, true to the movie.
This book is not very good. It reads like someone is watching the movie and describing it to you. Maybe they added some extra stuff about the Scarecrow and the Chechen, but who really cares about them? Scarecrow is in the movie for 5 seconds.You really want to know about the JOKER. He's more interesting than Batman or anyone else in the book. I wanted to get into his head and see things from his perspective, but this doesn't happen in this book. It's all tell and don't bother to show.But it does...
The Dark Knight (Dark Knight Trilogy #2), Dennis O'NeilAfter Gordon, Dent and Batman begin an assault on Gotham's organised crime, the mobs hire the Joker, a psychopathic criminal mastermind who wants to bring all the heroes down to his level. A man with a twisted sense of humor. A man whose grotesque smile is reflected on the calling card he leaves at the scene of his crimes: The Joker.تاریخ خوانش روز بیستم ماه ژانویه سال بیست بیست میلادیعنوان شب تاریک کتاب دوم از سری شب تاریک؛ نویسنده دانیل او...
The book starts out before the events of the film and features an in-depth backstory for the Scarecrow, an extra scene with Bruce and Rachel and a background on Harvey Dent. Dent's parents died in a murder suicide. It was unclear which parent was the killer, but Dent's father was a cop and abusive. The last half of the story is told really fast with little internal monologue. Batman stops thinking in the last 3rd of the book.I think the writer started out going to deep into the screenplay and re...
Why So Serious?!
I'm actually reading the other book I posted tonight I got confused. The status update belongs there.
I like this movie
I honestly bought the book purely for the sake of having The Dark Knight written down. I was expecting the movie dialogue and situations, straight from the screen, but the book delivered much more.The additional side stories (Like how Crane managed to sneak his way back into TDK and just who Chechen is) were both unexpected and very true to the characters they portrayed. They were a pleasant surprise and definitely have a bit of re-read value to them.But unfortunately a big hit on my opinion of
I really love this film trilogy, so I bought all the novelized editions. I have read through this book many times and absolutely love it. 5/5
I like reading novelizations for the insights and expanded features. However, this one is lacking in magic. Also, it is hard to recommend an author who uses the word "whimpering" twice in three paragraphs.
4 Stars. Great novelization of my favorite of the three movies in this trilogy.Highly recommend to Batman fans, or people who loved the movie.
read this for the sake of a narration of joker's admiration for batman. nothing new. but i really liked the extended details of crane even through he only had seconds screentime on the film.
As incredible as the film.
