AICN and just about every movie blog on the planet is tossing around these wicked promo shots for Batman: The Dark Knight today, so I might as well get into the action.

I like the new batsuit on Christian Bale and Heath Ledger’s Joker really great looking. I’m going to be wanting to see this movie when it opens, no doubt. Four more shots of the Joker after the jump. Don’t miss them!

Wizard magazine has Heath Ledger as the Joker from Batman: The Dark Knight on the cover coming up. He’s not quite as creepy looking as the last Joker cover we just saw though.

I’ve posted a few shots of the Joker from the new movie Batman: Dark Knight before, but in this cover shot from Empire magazine he looks downright creepy. I’ve heard that many people, including the excellent Michael Caine, have stated that Heath Ledger is excellent in his role as the Clown Prince of Crime. It just makes me anticipate that this will be a fantastic sequel for the impressive Batman Begins.

This is, in my completely unprofessional (you have to be paid to be a professional!) opinion are the best Movie Series ever.

Since this ended up being such a long blog, I thought I would break it up. Today are numbers 10 through 6.

What do you think? There are plenty more great movies out there, many of which I have completely forgotten about or simply didn’t have enough room for. Leave a comment below. I’d love to hear what you think!

10 Star Trek: I would have to say that this set of movies consists of some of the best, and also some of the worst movies I’ve seen. It’s true: the even movies are much stronger than the odd movies. The worst, by far are the first and fifth movies. I think the Geneva conventions would frown upon anyone showing those two pieces of drek to prisoners of war.

The even movies are generally the best. Of course, The Wrath of Kahn is a favorite among most Trekies. However, my favorites are the Voyage Home (IV), and The Undiscovered County (VI).

The even movies aren’t all top tier, however. I would have to say the lowest of the low points was the set-up and subsequent death of Data, which occurred in the most recent film, an even numbered entry. Ho Hum… talk about a yawner.
Oh, and of course pretty much all of the aforementioned Star Trek V. Boy, that one sure was a dog turd.

I still remember the special thrill I felt when I saw a trailer for a new Star Trek movie. Even the trailers were often better than the movies they preceded.

What I learned from these movies: A) When faced with a task at work, always overestimate wildly the time it will take to finish it. B) “I always set my phaser to stun,” really isn’t all that good of a pickup line.

9) Pirates of The Caribbean: OK, I admit it. I am a sucker for silly spectacle. While I was really disappointed in the Third movie, I definitely would like to see it again, if only for the dream sequence. These movies have a lot of things going for them, and mostly those things have the faces of dead presidents on them. Yes, I am talking about boatloads, and I mean boatloads of money, which is what this trilogy made. And while yes, this trilogy was ultimately an empty one, it started a lot of stars on their way upward, and cemented Johnny Depp as being one weird, talented dude. Not bad for a concept that got its start as a ride.

There is even word of not one, but several more Pirates movies on the way. Avast!

What I learned from these movies: A) Never ever trust a pirate. Duh! B) Never make deals with the East India Trading Company. C) Pirates generally have one or more of the following: sharp knives, haunted gold, rotten teeth, and killer body odor.

A bunch of new photos have been put online for Batman: The Dark Knight and I really like the look of the new batsuit that allows more head flexibility.

Heath Ledger looks insane as the Joker too. This is going to be a great follow-up to the excellent Batman Begins.
