Definitely the best super hero movie that I've ever seen. For me this didn't seem like other super hero movies. In most you find the hero having to fight off villains when they do something huge (they only usually spring into action when the world is being blown up by some evil mastermind). In The Dark Knight it Bruce Wayne does actually use his brain to solve the crimes and actually attempts to stop things as they happen. The Joker is (of coarse) a blood chilling character who (in my view) is depicted beautifully by Heath Ledger to make him both mad and and a genius at the same time. He seems like a slightly frail character who doesn't rely on strength but the way he toys with people makes it enjoyable to watch and allows the emotional journey of Harvey Dent(well played by Aaron Eckhart). The whole journey for him has a very metaphorical sense surrounding it.
Christian Bale reprises well from his previous role in Batman Begins as the multi-millionaire playboy who has the front off a coolheaded businessman but has also another side of an emotionally tortured man (and of coarse his other impenetrable force: Batman). All these aspects come together to make an all round exciting film which could also chill you to the bone. I would also like to mention the fantastic score by the well known Hans Zimmer who never fails to impress me with every masterpiece that he creates for films that always fit the feel. I could go on but really this is a film to go and watch yourself and get the same enjoyment out of it that I did.
