A movie for all, even for Tim Burton fans

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

I am a fan of the first Tim Burton Batman movie and Jack Nicholsons Joker however Heath Ledger takes the joker to a new level and propels his performance from something more than just a villain. Ledger makes the joker more insane entertaining and theatrical. This movie makes you appriate Nicholsons as well, because it gives us a different view of the joker. Ledgers joker is not afraid of death or pain which makes him Batman's greatest foe and will be hard to follow. And likely won't in my opinion. I think Christopher Nolan took it further than just a comic book movie and made a work of art. I hope Oscar season brings ledger the Oscar and The Dark Knight the best picture of the year Oscar.
