This is the best batman yet. And that's no easy task as the others were all very good movies with very star-studded casting. Christian Bale was excellent as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Yes, I know they're the same person; but Christian Bale was that good. He made you believe that Bruce Wayne and Batman were not the same person.
And, Heath Ledger as the joker? Wow. Brilliant. Perfect. He played this character better than Jack Nicholson and believe me that that is no insult to Nicholson. The way Heath Ledger played the joker was unbelievably fantastic.
This batman was, by far, darker than the others. And I think this is exactly what the series needed. Simply brilliant. Watched it 3 times in the theaters and was amazed every single time.
