I'll go ahead and comment here but keep it short and sweet.
Pros - Heath Ledger was the epitome of psychosis. BRILLIANT acting. In the original Batman movie (think '60s) and later in the Burton films the Joker was more or less a silly villain. He was out for revenge or just doing it for the kicks but he wasn't crazy. He had his fun and went home. The Dark Knight's Joker was fantastically evil. I will see this movie again just to re-watch Ledger's performance.
Cons - Some cheesey dialogue. The Bat-Bike was so-so. Scarecrow and Two Face seemed under used.
All in all I'd give this movie a nine out of ten. Ten out of ten for acting and sheer awesome. Eight out of ten for cheese and missed opportunities.
GRRRRR!
This is NOT a type of armor. It will NOT protect against anything except compressed air. Not even Kevlar can stop the shrapnel from a bomb because shrapnel tends to have sharp edges that slice through Kevlar as if it were cotton.
All they'd have to do is put a couple of razor blades in the charge and this "advance"...isn't. And truth be told: there is not a personal armor in existance that will protect against the sheer force of an explosion. Kevlar is flexible. DragonScales are flexible. A metal box may retain its shape but it would be like placing a crystal cup in a shoe box and shaking it around. That box may be fine. Do you expect the cup to be?
