Good movie, even if you aren't a fan of Batman

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2008)

I have never been a big fan of Batman. I went to see Batman Begins when it first came out and haven't seen it a second time.
I saw The Dark Knight, and I thought it was a very good movie. Because I don't know a lot about Batman, a few points were a little hard to follow. Overall, though, you wouldn't have to see the first movie in order to understand, or really have seen the cartoons or read the comics, either.
As others have stated already, Heath Ledger's performance was incredible. He's portrayal of The Joker was extremely creepy and psychotic, adding humor to his morbidity. The plot kept me guessing and wondering how it would end.
This movie was very enjoyable and I will probably see it again.
