The best of the best

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

If only I could give this 11/10 I'd do it. I've never been much of a fan of Batman, but Bale pulls of his performance as The Dark Knight spectacularly. Heath Ledger is the real star though. His masterful performance as the Joker is unmatched. He makes the Joker both completely hilarious and absolutely terrifying. No one else can ever touch this role again without it being an insult to Heath's name. I'm dead serious with this one. Ledger IS the Joker.
The tone has definitely taken a darker turn. Particularly the ending, with Batman accused of murder and all, and the destruction of the Bat signal, I can only hope that things go better for the bat next movie. I can't see how this movie can possibly be topped by a sequel. All in all, you need to go see it. Definitely go see this one.
