how AMAZING this film truly is. It's not only an incredible Batman movie, it's an incredible movie on its own. It has anything and everything you'll ever want in an enjoyable movie experience: incredible acting, in-depth character development, great plot, intense story development, etc. While it is a darker and more frightening Batman movie, it is full of humor compliments of Heath Ledger's Oscar-worthy portrayal of the Joker. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman reprise their roles of Bruce Wayne/Batman, Alfred, Lucius Fox, and Lieutenant/Commissioner Gordon with incredible performances. Fresh faces include Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two-Face (who finally does the role justice, no pun intended) and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes (who does a much better job than Katie Holmes in Batman Begins). The Dark Knight provides a thrilling movie experience as it keeps you on the edge of your seat during every minute of it. Do yourself a favor and go see it, even if you're not a Batman fan. It is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a LONG time. And please remember: honor Heath Ledger with the respect he deserves.
