A Gritty Dark World... Batman As It Should Be!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2008)

This film easily competes with the original Batman. I thought Batman begins was awesome but The Dark Knight takes the biscuit! Christian Bale is every much as riveting as in the previous outing, a cold and almost callous Batman with the cities greater, long term interests in mind, and I'm not a person to be swayed by hype, but it has to be said that Ledger makes this film hands down. The character of the joker is one you love to hate and Ledger pulled it off with such delinquency! Needless to say that both the script and cinematography is superb! And the character of Harvey Dent is built up extremely well, I don't want to spoil anything but I'd like to see more of him! Pity we shall not be seeing anymore of Heath as he truly deserved the Oscar for this one, dead or alive, all hype aside. RIP mate. Legend.
