The 'Dark Knight' Returns as 8-Bit Video — hollywoodreporter.com

Let's be honest: There are some problems with Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Its length, for one thing, and the fact that it felt like two movies that accidentally had been squished into one (Seriously, push all the Two-Face stuff into another movie and it'd be muuuuuch better). Its main flaw, however, is that it wasn't an 8-bit video game, as a new video from Cinefix makes clear. 8 Bit Cinema's three-and-a-half minute recreation of the movie manages to sidestep a lot of The Dark Knight's flaws -- if nothing else, we're spared the closing monologue and almost everything that Two-Face gets up to -- while also making you wish that someone had had the foresight to make an arcade game version of the movie back in the 1980s.
