Dark Knight Not About the Joker

Now this is interesting. The director of the new Batman movie The Dark Knight, Chris Nolan, recently spoke up about the movie saying that the Joker is not the focus of the flick.

“Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is a tragic figure, and his story is the backbone of this film. The Joker, he sort of cuts through the film — he’s got no story arc, he’s just a force of nature tearing through. Heath has given an amazing performance in the role, it’s really extraordinary.”

I guess we’ll see more about Harvey Dent and his change from good person of Gotham to tragic Two-Faced villain. The Joker will just be running around creating carnage while the real story takes place. Funny how everything regarding this movie is Joker-centric. Kind of like how Spider-Man 3 was very Venom focused.
