Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2014)

One of the best portrayals of a comic book I've ever seen. Heath Ledger is, of course, spot on as Joker. His portrayal left me speechless as he unfolded his non plan to take over Gotham and kill Batman in the process. This entire movie makes you curious about his next move and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The way he toys with his victims and uses some as pawns in his scheme is genius yet cynical. You almost want him to succeed just because you want to see where he takes it next. Now onto Batman. Christian Bale is an almost perfect portrayal as Bruce Wayne/Batman. You truly believe that he could be this billionaire playboy philanthropist detective, and he fills the cowl just nicely. The action is fantastic in this film and the visuals are great as well. What really makes this movie memorable are its fantastic dialog. The scene with Batman and the Joker in the interrogation room is one of the best scenes I've ever seen in modern cinema. All in all, the film is great and deserves all the hype and awards it receives.
