Had to revisit this film after watching Joaquin Phoenix as "Joker."

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2019)

This film is a masterpiece. A great example of superhero films being able to be worthy of the title of "cinema," which is an ongoing debate that will not be stopped by this imdb review.
Heath Ledger as The Joker is amazing. Joaquin played his Joker differently, but the fact that different actors can play the same character in such completely different ways speaks to the awesomeness of the character.
This film does a great job of tip toeing the line between being dark and for adults and being just enough of a superhero film so that a wider audience can enjoy it as well.
The secondary villain in this film was great as well, although he was COMPLETELY overshadowed by Heath. In case you haven't seen the film and are both going in completely ignorant of the plot and are unfamiliar with some of the characters from other media, I won't mention who the other villain is. Regardless this movie is a classic and a must see.
