The Dark Knight will be one of the first Super Hero Movie which has broke all the records held by its peers like Spider Man, Iron Man & Superman Returns.
Heath Ledger's performance as 'Joker' has immortalized one of the best screen play Villain in modern times. Unlike 1989's Batman, this will be the best comic book adaptation successfully put to screen and I doubt whether there will be any movie like this unless Christopher breaks his own record with an even more successful sequel.
I have always preferred Christian Bale as Batman rather than Val Kilmer, George Clooney. This time he displayed a much more mature role. If 'Batman Begins' had created the groundwork for the upcoming sequel, then Dark Knight proved to be a superior and more thriving motion picture. It is a real tragedy to miss a prodigy like Heath.
Unlike Jack Nicolson 'Joker'which proved to be a funnier adversary of the Batman, Heath as 'Joker' was Devil's Incarnate, one who would kill with a smile on face and the most challenging nemesis ever to be put up in a Super Hero based Movies. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two Face was an excellent pick and he balanced his role delightfully.
Apart from the brilliant performance by supporting actors like Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gary Oldman as Lt. Gordan, the movie provided us with some of the unforgettable musical score by typical talents James Newton Howard & Hans Zimmer.
Closing Note: Worth watching multiple times, and if you are an avid Movie Collector then you can add this to your collection. It wouldn't be a disappointment.

These Batman movies all seem good. This one is no exception. Heath Ledgers untimely death makes it hard to follow up. It was a bit overhyped because of the death, but it didn't keep me from enjoying this both at the theater and at home.

I understand that there will always be varying degrees of mixed reactions to even some of the best movies, but, boy, there ought to be way more negative reviews of this thing! Memo to the world...THE DARK KNIGHT IS NOT EVEN A GOOD MOVIE! Having the veneer of seriousness, self-importance, and pomposity does not a good movie make! It is a sequence of quick, confusing, messy scenes with dialogue as juvenile as in any junk movie I've seen the last decade! There really isn't all that much action, as has been proclaimed and the action that it does have is barely entertaining and is convoluted as all get out. Seen it 3 times to TRY to find redeeming qualities. The first time, only Heath Ledger saved it for me and I found myself WAITING for him to appear just so I could enjoy part of the film. The 2nd and 3rd time? Even he became annoying and I actually don't think his performance is truly Oscar-worthy.
The fighting scenes are very lazy. Looks like Batman and the bad guys are just doing kid karate chops at each other. The guy is a NINJA! He took out Al Ghul's highly trained ninjas in BATMAN BEGINS almost like it was nothing. He certainly ought to be able to more easily handle a bunch of low-level criminals, including the Joker. And what is with the uber-raspy voice and the ridiculous outfit? What adds to the absurdity is that, for some odd reason, Nolan abandoned the Gothic city look in BEGINS to favor a REAL city look in TDK! Now, Joker and Batman REALLY look ridiculous in those outfits traipsing around the city.
Except for Joker, ALL characters are one-dimensional and dull. In BEGINS, the main cast was smaller and were operating with an ACTUAL script! Also in BEGINS, there were essentially no minor or non-essential characters that were given spoon-fed dialogue to ruin the proceedings, unlike in this movie. So now in this sequel, you have the main cast, multiplied by 2, with crappy dialogue, along with an army of minor cliched, dull extras that add NOTHING to the movie. Where's the depth, the emotion, the humanity? Not in this trash!

I gave my brother the Blu Ray for Christmas, We both saw in the Movie theater as well. Excellent movie, Lots Action Packed Sequences, I am a Batman Fan, Not a Huge one, but nonetheless. The movie is great, great soundtrack, very gritty and dark. Great movie for anyone whether your into comic books like me or not.
