The Dark Knight continues the fine tradition started by Batman Begins. Akin to how Frank Miller made Batman relevant again in the graphic novel arena, Christopher Nolan has given the brooding hero a breath of fresh intense air on the big screen. In print sometimes a certain character takes over the whole book and somehow enthralls the reader holding him in a vice like grip. Heath Ledger does exactly that in his role of the Joker. The film heralds the arrival of the laughing madman in the life of Batman and shows us the tip of the titanic struggle that will enshroud the rest of their existence. But with the passing of Ledger, one wonders who can replicate his panache and screen presence as the Joker...

brilliant shit - all of it.
Bugger, I am surprised that you went to see the film. You should check out "Batman Begins" too if you have not already. Now only if you picked up "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller.
have seen the first one as well, which i was impressed as well. this one betters it i believe. fantastic production, tight and all of that. brilliant performances all around. read a quote from christian bale that if they include robin in these series, he will go tie himself up with chains.
think the best series i have seen in a long time. apart from the bourne one.
