Why So Serious?

http://www.whysoserious.com/

When the website has fully loaded,the first thing that was said was, 'This is a GCN traffic update' and a lot of commotion is heard in the background and people asking for help which connotes a bank robbery taken place by the joker, this is because a bank is mentioned. The first thing that caught my eye was the Jokers To Do list. It has a loads of jobs that he wants to complete some of which are; 'Make everyone everywhere look like me' this signifies that he is very vain or it connotes that he thinks he is absolutely amazing and everyone should look like him. 'Send cops down the wrong lane' which obviously signifies his character or being a very cheeky joker, who thinks doing and saying the wrong things is hilarious. When you click on to it, it comes up with a newspaper article which is titled, The Ha Ha Ha Times which denotes that this was written about the Joker. This website is similar to the poster because it has similar use of colour which is quite dull and dark. The poster and the website both have the words 'why so serious' which is another similarity. It is also similar because the poster is made up of Joker cards and the website was made for the Joker and has pictures of the Joker on there. They are different in the respects that the website doesnt have 'The dark knight' written on it anywhere, the webasite is not an image made up of Joker cards, however they both have a few quotes that were said in the film which makes it similar.

"This is a different take on the superhero genre with an interesting, offbeat twist."

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
"As a fantasy epic, Avatar is an undeniable victory ... but outside of the narrow confines of immersion he's managed, it's also quite limited."
"As adventure movies go, it is impressively new in every way except the way that matters most -- storytelling. Its look will last. But its heart won't go on."
