The Best Superhero Movie So Far

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2008)

I've really enjoyed Christopher Nolan's reinvention of Batman. I recently saw Batman Begins and I thought it was the best Batman movie of the series.The origin story was handled very well for such a loved comic book superhero. And now, Batman is back!
The Dark Knight centres around Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale), Lieutenant Gordon (Gary Oldman)and new District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) trying to track down the crazed and murderous psychopath, The Joker (Heath Ledger) and stop him from causing chaos and havoc in Gotham City.
The Dark Knight is not only one of the best movies of 2008 so far, it very well might be the best superhero movie yet. The performances in the film are terrific and serve the story well. The best actor has to be Heath Ledger as The Joker.
In my opinion, he's the best actor to have portrayed and capture the philosophy of the character. He's really put his stamp on it and made it his own. It's horrible that he didn't live to see what a fantastic job he's done. He deserves an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.
After seeing The Dark Knight, I can't wait for the next Batman movie, that's how great this film is!
9/10
