Batman and Joker's Moral Dilemma...

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2008)

The Dark Knight begins with a bank robbery. The Joker (Heath Ledger) is stealing from the bank where the mob keeps it's money. It bores him. He wants to do something that makes an impression.
Meanwhile, Gotham City has a new District Attory. His name is Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). Thanks to him (as well as Lt. James Gordon and Batman) the mob is falling apart. As you can imagine they are desperate. Who do they turn to for help? The Joker. However, The Joker does not care about helping the mob at all. He just sees it as a way to go through with his plan. What's his plan? To prove that people aren't good. To prove that everyone is, well, like him. He even forces Batman (Christian Bale) to question his own moral code. Will Joker prove his point or will Batman have another victory? Overall, the movie is great. The best movie of the year so far. Director Christopher Nolan makes a large amount of improvements over Batman Begins. Everything from pace to the fighting scenes. It's a movie a lot of people will enjoy. Even those who aren't a fan of the genre because this isn't your typical comic book adaptation. Nolan tries his best to make everything feel and look realistic. Which also hurts the movie if you're a fan of movies that do have the look and feel of a comic. Nonetheless, it's great for what it is. As for Ledger, he's fantastic. He does deserve an Oscar nomination as well as other people involved with this movie.
