I think it was a bit overrated, but this is the best Batman film and the best superhero movie to date

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2008)

I saw this movie about three weeks after it came out.I stopped commenting on films on this site for a while, but now I have decided to start again.The Dark Knight is all over newspapers.It is the second highest grossing film of all time(it might even reach first) and is #3 on IMDb's Top 250 list(it even beat out The Godfather, something that has not happened in years).As I said, it's been a while since I have seen this film so I will tell you what I remember.The film does not mention Batman in the title and actually Batman isn't in the film all that much.The first part of the film is about a DA named Harvey Dent.He put away a bunch of criminals.There is a criminal mastermind called "The Joker" on the loose.Any Batman fan knows that Joker is Batman's main enemy.There are plenty of plot twists and turns in the film that I will not spoil but basically Dent becomes two-face and it is up to Batman to stop him! There is also a bit of Scarecrow in this film.The acting in the film is excellent! Heath Ledger(who sadly passed away at the beginning of the year) plays the most brilliant joker out of any batman film.Yes, even better than Nicholson's 1989 portrayal.Heath is simply amazing in this film.He makes the joker seem so sadistic and evil! Anyway, if you are one of the few people who have not seen Dark Knight, go see it! It isn't just another kiddie superhero flick.It's actually more of a dark crime-drama! But I did find it to be a bit overrated.It should'nt really be #3 on the Top 250 in my opinion.
