No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photoshoot what have you. If it endangers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.
Christopher Nolan redefined the comic movie genre with this movie, and it’s never been surpassed. Sorry Marvel, but nothing’s come close to this, nor Heath Ledger’s iconic performance. The movie was imbued with the specter of his death before it was even released, but that was never the crutch is rested on; Ledger’s performance was legitimately amazing, and would have probably won him an Oscar anyway.
