Immensely overrated

Rating: 3/10 (20 April 2017)

Ledger is very good as a twisted Joker, but beyond that there is not much good going on here. I do not like whispery Batman. I guess he is altering his voice so people won't know who he is? But why try to be realistic considering how fake the rest of the movie is? Especially when it just does not come off well? As for fake moments. There were several in just the first 15 minutes, then I just stopped paying attention. Is Batman really super strong? That is fine if he is, but the way he bent the gun barrel in half was extremely unrealistic, as it would have pulled out of the fake Batman's hands before the barrel bent (in other words, the other half the gun would have to be leveraged against something to be able to be bent). Then when he jumps on the white van that is racing around the parking garage below. I can suspend disbelief that he could calculate when the van would come out, but why did the van stop on a dime as soon as Batman landed on it? Even if the driver slammed on the brakes the van would still skid at least 10 to 15 feet. I could go on and on with the implausibilities. I am one person that is just not going to go along with the herd and call this a good movie. It just isn't.
