The battle for Gotham City.

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2008)

It is one hell-of-a-knockdown drag-out battle for Gotham City. Its a masterpiece for Christopher Nolan. And I stand corrected if you may; DARK KNIGHT is the summer's blockbuster supreme! You will marvel at the flexibility of Batman's new outfit. And its powers are awesome. But your jaw will drop and your stomach will rattle in your throat every time you see the Joker appear on screen. Batman/Bruce Wayne(Christian Bale)will team up with Lieutenant Jim Gordon(Gary Olham)and the new District Attorney Harvey Dent(Aaron Eckhart)to battle the criminal mastermind, The Joker(Heath Ledger). The Joker's prowess all but has Gotham City on its knees. And Batman comes close to appearing as a vigilante as he tries to end the Joker's anarchy. Flawlessly clever cinematography and the special effects are rampant and high octane.
The late Heath Ledger is more than brilliant as the Joker. Those psychotic and demonic mannerisms brings the character to a whole new level. The Oscar buzz grows louder and the actor's efforts are worthy. Maggie Gyllenhaal also turns in a standout performance as Rachel. Also appearing are: Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Eric Roberts, Anthony Michael Hall and Cillian Murphy.
