Slyder I have not actually seen any of these movies, but usually my assumptions about movies are pretty accurate. So here it goes. Dark Knight- Great writing and directing; Chicago has never looked better or scarier. This film features outstanding special effects and a surprisingly in-depth plot for a comic book movie. *Spoiler Alert* I heard the joker died. In real life I mean.

But I do have a suggestion for a rule tweaking for future All-Star Games. Allow players to enter/exit the game more than once, like in little league.
