I am appalled, channel guide summary writer."

"Batman battles a vicious criminal known as the Joker."

That's the summary for "The Dark Knight." Perhaps the greatest movie ever to be filmed, scored, edited, and created.

Perhaps the shittiest summary I've ever laid eyes on, too.

Excuse me, but saying, "Batman battles a vicious criminal known as the Joker," is like saying, "World War II was a skirmish between Germany's friends and the U.S. just so happened to get involved."

"The Dark Knight" is so much more complex than Batman vs. the Joker. At least give the movie another sentence.

Or just describe it like I would:

Watch this movie now. Even if you've seen it a hundred times, you haven't watched it enough.
