Superb.

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2008)

Tim Burton did a great job with Batman and Batman Returns. We'll skip The next two Batman films as they don't exist in my books. Christopher Nolan did a fantastic job in rebooting the series with Batman Begins. Now he one-ups everything with The Dark Knight. This film will definitely stand up there with Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back as a sequel better than the original. Aaron Eckhart and Christian Bale do excellently in their roles (although at the end the gruff speaking from both of them was a little over the top) but Heath Ledger outshines them all in his dazzling performance as the Joker. He definitely deserves at least an Oscar nomination.
