Its the Joker all the way !

Rating: 9/10 (12 September 2008)

Joker....joker .... and the joker.There is nothing else you could possibly thinking about once you complete the movie.The batman(Christian bale) had been overshadowed to such an extent by a superlative performance by Heath Ledger that already his role has been doing the rounds for a posthumous Oscar nomination. The movie's sober and sinister mood continues from its prequel.It has in fact intensified manifold due the very presence of the sociopathic character-Joker.The writing is on the wall-the joker has occupied the driving seat.Batman has been pushed into a corner due the joker's antisocial deeds and has a tough job cleaning up the city of Gotham.He has to his aid two trusted people in Harvey Dent and the Commissioner.How he achieves the final objective forms the crux the movie.The movie can be viewed in two ways-the superficial one in enjoying the heroics of batman and the insanity of joker,and the other way is to try and understand the motive of the joker-the man with no rules,he who feels is incomplete without the batman.the second perspective though can be well left for second timers.
