I won't go into any spoilers or anything like that, but I will say it is the best super hero movie I have ever seen. The movie is grounded in realism so in many ways it feels as much like a crime drama as it does a comic book movie. Bale, Oldman, and Eckhart are all great, but Heath Ledger owns every scene he's in. He plays The Joker just as I have always thought of him; creepy, funny, and absolutely insane. I refuse to go into any more specifics because I don't want to give anything away, though I will say The Joker does a nifty pencil trick. The last movies that really blew me away like this were The Departed and Children of Men. Unfortunately, I'm a little too tired after working all day to formulate a review worthy of this film.

I'M SOOOOOOOOOOO THERE!!!!!!
That's what's great about Nolan's Batman, realism...like you said, it feels more like a crime drama than a comic book film.
I knew Ledger was going to steal the show...I just knew it.

None of Ledger's best scenes or lines are in the trailers.Comment

I downloaded a trailer from XBox live and there was a neat bit involving the goons he had hired for a robbery, and were supposed to split the takings with him.Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?

Awesome news. I can't wait. I really liked the first one of this series, and I am sure it won't disappoint."Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came."Comment

I have been waiting....so after viewing it, do you think Heath Ledger should win an Academy Award for this?"The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

Absolutely no desire to see this movie. Truly sad. I think I'm just too attached to Batman to look at it without picking it apart. He looks wrong, Joker looks wrong. (makeup???***???) I just can't get past that.
I had a whole rant typed out and deleted it so's not to put a damper on others' enjoyment of the movie. I honestly hope you all have the best movie experience of your lives. Seriously.Comment

Wow, I thought that CHILDREN OF MEN was an absolutely fantastic film (and THE DEPARTED, while nothing original, was a decent film).Originally posted by PCofmisfittoys
The more I hear about THE DARK KNIGHT, the more I want to see it. I can't wait.Comment

Ledger will get nominated, but it's early to tell if he'll win. I think he should win, though. Not because of his death, he's just created one of the all time great screen villains. And thanks to cjefferys for the Children of Men backup. I'm amazed how many people don't like this movie. It's a masterpiece. As for The Departed, it was the acting and the dialog that did it for me. It reminded of a great old movie, where the writing and cast match each other, only with a lot more cursing.Comment
