The Caped Crusader's greatest adventure.

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2011)

What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said. It's the best Batman movie ever. Christopher Nolan took one of the greatest comic book heroes and put him through epic adult dilemmas set up by the clown prince of crime.
Things are turning out well. Batman, having allied himself with Gordan and the newly-elected district attorney Harvey Dent, has Gotham City's worst criminals on the ropes. However, a new player comes to town who plays by his own rules (that is to say no rules whatsoever): the insane anarchistic archenemy of Batman, the Joker. With this psychopath spreading anarchy all around, the Dark Knight must bring a halt to this crazy clown before all goes down to complete and udder chaos.
This movie is truly a cinematic masterpiece. All the performances are done so well, especially Heath Ledger as Joker. He is extremely funny while surprisingly pretty scary. His point of view in life is sickening yet you can't help but feel that he's somewhat right about a lot of things about humanity. The action scenes are a major improvement over the last film's shaky cam and extreme close-ups, punching and explosions all the time. Batman's new costume is cool too. Harvey Dent's character development into Two-Face is done very well with some nice twists to it.
A long running time, the death of a certain main character, and Christian Bale's growly voice are what keep this movie from being perfect. Nonetheless, this is still an excellent movie from now and into the future. I look forward to the sequel "The Dark Knight Rises" with Bane and Catwoman. So sit back and marvel the cinematic gold that is The Dark Knight. Avoid any pencils. They can kill in the blink of an eye! Hahahahaha!
