Nurse Blogs

While this has nothing directly to do with nursing, it is imperative parents know how "dark" the newest Batman film truly is.  This film is not for young children or any child who has a tendency towards nightmares.  I'm truly not sure my greatnephew who is just 12 should have seen it.  His mother thinks it was ok for him, but we'll see tonight if he sleeps or not. 

Heath Ledger is absolutely outstanding as the "Joker".  I judge  actors by whether or not I forget who's playing a particular role or do I see them behind the character.   After 30 seconds of the Joker's appearance, I completely forgot it was the late Ledger behind the psychotic madman and just settled in to become totally enthralled with the entire film.  In certain places, the film is extremely frightening, with such evil intent manifested in the many layers of the plot.  I came away disturbed, but loved the movie. 

Batman started out dark, became a light hearted idiotic comic book post WW2 and now it's back to the original intent of good over evil starting with the earlier film Batman Begins.   Yep, I love comic books and graphic novels, odd for a 57 year old woman, but there it is.
