THE Definitive Batman Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2014)

OK, first off I really like this one. My favorite out of the Nolan Trilogy, and in my top 5 of all time comic book movies.
The movie take place 1 year after the events of Batman Begins. Batman has done a good job keeping criminals off the streets, and those that are still around, scared to conduct business as usual. The criminals turn there attention to someone who has been robbing them... Enter The Joker. Now right off the bat (no pun intended) this is not the fun-loving psycho joker of the comics... nor the laughing pun-loving Joker that Jack Nicholson performed. Heath Ledger did a great job in reinventing the Joker, he didn't have the gag-weapons, but he had that twisted humor, and while he played himself off as a "mad dog" he knew what he was doing at every step of the way.
Now, this movie had a multitude of Villains, which many people claimed to be the downfall of Spiderman 3, but Dark Knight did it well, but not perfect. You had The Joker right out front, but you also had all the mobsters (an included in that Sam Maroni, known Batman rouge) and then they threw in Two-Face in the third act. The downside to Two-Face was, his ending... they could have introduced him in this movie and carried him through to the next. That is one of my downsides to this movie.
Overall though this was a good movie. Maggie was a much better replacement to Katie Holmes. But the character was still not my favorite. The story worked well and played out good. Some things were a little far-fetched, but this was, for me really only 2 points maybe 3. Other than that, this was a super solid action movie, and a must see for any Batman fan.
