Chapter 507: Lin, he is the God of the film world!

~6 min read 1,065 words

Here.

Lin Mo's phone rang.

In the past two days, his phone has been ringing too frequently.

He picked it up, saw the caller's name, and laughed.

Bale's call!

Just as the call connected, Bale's exaggerated wail came from the other end: "Lin!!!"

"I just checked IMDb... my character page views are only one-fifth of Heath's... Clearly I'm Batman!"

Lin Mo held back his laughter and comforted: "Bale, you should know, without Batman, where would the Joker's madness come from~"

"I... my daughter even says she wants the Joker's autograph..."

As soon as Bale said that, Lin Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Mo quickly cleared his throat and said: "Bale, don't lose heart! Next time we film Batman vs. Joker, I guarantee you'll knock him down with one punch!"

On the call, Bale and Lin Mo vented their frustrations, and Lin Mo also said that if there's a good film next time, he'll definitely invite him to act, which finally satisfied the guy.

After hanging up with Bale, Lin Mo still couldn't help shaking his head and laughing; looking up, he saw Re Ba walking over with a cup of tea, curious: "What's up? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Lin Mo shook his phone: "Bale just called to complain, saying his daughter now only wants the Joker's autograph, not Batman's."

Re Ba froze, then burst out laughing with a "pfft," nearly spilling her tea: "Really? Is Bale that upset?"

"That's right," he said, imitating Bale's resentful tone: "'Lin! My IMDb page views are only one-fifth of Heath's! I'm Batman!'"

Re Ba laughed so hard she held her stomach: "Hahaha, how did you comfort him?"

Lin Mo also laughed and said: "I said next time we film Batman vs. Joker, I'll let him knock the Joker down with one punch!"

"Huh? Does Batman have a series too?" Re Ba blinked.

"I'm just cheering him up, but I promised him that if there's a good film, I'll definitely save him a role!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Oh oh, I see now!"

Re Ba then nodded in understanding.

Then she said: "But Bale really is pitiful—he's the lead, yet after the movie became a hit, everyone only cares about the Joker~"

During these days that Batman: The Dark Knight has been in theaters, Re Ba has been following it every day.

She of course knows how hot Heath Ledger's Joker is now!

Not exaggerating.

Most moviegoers, after watching the film, their deepest memory is definitely the Joker; as for Batman...

Lin Mo shrugged and laughed: "That's the charm of villains! Batman is too upright, so audiences feel there's no surprise. But who wouldn't be impressed by the Joker's crazy yet charming villainy?"

Re Ba tilted her head and thought: "That's also true, Heath's Joker is indeed amazing; just thinking about it gives me chills!"

The third day of the global release of Batman: The Dark Knight.

In the global movie review database, this film's rating is ridiculously high.

It is currently ranked #2 on the TOP250 film list, only behind The Shawshank Redemption.

Domestically.

On Douban Movies, Batman: The Dark Knight scores as high as 9.7.

Netizens call the Joker the most perfect and charismatic villain in history!

Internationally.

On IMDb, Batman: The Dark Knight has a rating of 9.1 (top 3 in film history, over 500k ratings!).

The Joker's character page daily views have exceeded 2 million, which can be said to have set a historical record for a villain character!

And Bale's Batman, his daily page views are only one-fifth of the Joker's.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Batman: The Dark Knight has a freshness of 95% and a popcorn index of 98%.

Moreover, professionals have praised Heath Ledger, calling him the greatest villain creator of the 21st century!

Now, it's ranked first on Twitter trends.

#Joker. Changed. Cinema#

(The Joker changed film history!)

That's all for Batman: The Dark Knight and the main evaluations of the actors.

And Lin Mo.

He is the director of this film!

His reviews are even better!
