The Joker Is Back

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2016)

Batman is back, this time up against The Joker.
I love nearly all the various versions of Batman, from the B&W 1940s movie serials to the Adam West Batman series, to the 1990s stuff to these Christopher Nolan films.
I must admit on first viewing I did struggle with Heath Ledger's take on The Joker, he was just so different (and younger) to the 1960s Joker and the 1989 Joker. But after a while I came around to loving Ledger's Joker!
But having said all this, there in an uncomfortable grim feeling to watching the film today as most of us now know what Ledger went through to make this film role so good.
This is the second Nolan Batman movie, the first one was just as good as this but the third one was very hit and miss. However, all three movies must be seen and enjoyed.
