A surprisingly effective dark and psychological film!

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2008)

Dark, chilling and creepy. As a comic book film, is unusually impressive. Heath Ledger as the Joker is impressive: creepy and engaging. Jack Nicolson as the Joker in the first Batman film was good, somewhat campy, Heath Ledger goes beyond that performance, with a darker, more psychological and more intense portrayal of the character.
As the sixth Batman film since 1989, this one is easily the best.
Gets to the heart of the Batman story very effectively: there's a fine line between good and evil and vigilante and hero.
Filmed in location in Chicago, downtown and Navy Pier areas. The camera is always carefully framed as not to the make the actual location obvious.
