Perfect.

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2020)

The film encapsulates Batman perfectly; the great detective, the unbeatable fighter and the unyielding attitude that has made this character iconic for decades are all emphasized.
Master performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker that can't ever be forgotten, it pushes the film to an iconic level recognised everywhere by anyone. The greatness of Ledger's performance overshadows the rest of the cast but they must also be recognised. Great performances by Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, an unwavering Batman by Christian Bale and class act supporting performances by Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Morgan Freeman.
The writing and directing of the film is immense with no moment or character feeling out of place but exactly where it should be. The Dark Knight also had great direction and cinematography to show off the fantastic imagery of the fictional Gotham and the characters living there. A score that creeps into the bone that makes every moment feel intense, ominous or wonderful.
The story of Batman and Joker's conflict can be summarized by the quote: "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object."
Recommend this film to everyone, it should not be missed.
