"The night is always darkest just before the dawn."

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

This is one of the greatest films of all time, not to mention THE GREATEST superhero film. Everything about this movie is completely stunning.
The acting is second to none, with Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker being the best villain of any movie in history. He truly deserves an Oscar. Christian Bale does a stunning performance as Batman, despite the Joker, in my opinion, being the main character. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine do good performances as Bruce Wayne's assistants. Gary Oldman plays one of my favorite characters, James Gordon, and he delivers a sense of hope in all of the chaos. Lastly, Aaron Eckhart delivers an excellent performance as Harvey Dent. I thought his performance was great, and his ability to play Two-Face was good.
The story was also great. This was the first superhero movie in which I felt a real prescence of true evil. In the Spiderman films, there was never a sense of evil like this. Because of this evil, it also felt like Batman was a true hero, not some guy in tights. This film proves "The night it darkest just before the dawn." While there was never a dawn, this film proves that in darkness, there is always light.
Best movie ever, RIP Heath Ledger
