The problem with a lot of superhero films is that they are almost all glorified kid-movies are. That's not the case with TDK who is a sequel to the 2005 smash-hit Batman Begins where Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia) revived Batman, who was thanks to Joel Schumacher turned into a childish stupid Batman. Nolan cutted the crap, introduced Christian Bale, a serious tormented superhero, and now takes it one step further, that's why TDK is not just a superhero movie but also a serious action-thriller is. The show is stolen by of course Heath Ledger (RIP), who as the insane chaotic Joker, the best performance in his life, definitely a posthumous Oscar deserves. The Joker is an insane psychopath who terrorizes Gotham, steals Money from mob bosses, and treats us with excellent one liner "To them you're just a freak, like me!" with that creepy voice and a snake likely tongue he says that to Batman, to who Gotham is completely turned. The movie is about the battle between good and evil, but also over mass hysteria and the fact that the public is easy to manipulate. Maybe does Nolan to much stories put in the film, that's the reason for the long length and that the horrible head of two-face looks a bit too much CGI. On the other hand, every character in the film is played by a top class actor who makes it 100 percent quality. TDK is not only the best superhero film i saw in years, it's a good solid thriller. with an Unforgettable Heath Ledger. Too bad he couldn't see that he was so good in it Jens Naeyaert
