Yes!

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

This film will be a classic before it leaves the theatre. The spectacular elements, death defying sequences, visual beauty and an actual story are just wonderful. There are enough comments out there that I do not need to go on and on, but, this film deserves all accolades, end of story. The best villain in history is now the Joker, for he is portrayed as he is not as the world would perceive him. Bravo! The batman is dark at the beginning of the film but reaches a new level of Gothic thriller without becoming bogged down by morose stereotypes. This film has one flaw and that is the rating, it is too low. This film should be rated R. The graphic violence is enough that my own mother had issues finishing the film, and the appearance of Dent after his accident as well as the magic pencil were enough to vilify this film in her eyes. I grew up with Batman as my role model, and this film supersedes my expectations.
