the Dark Knight

[technocoy]

up until this movie I considered Jack nicholsons performance the de facto.

Heath Ledger just blew that all to hell. Sorry.

I guess it depends on A: are you a hardcore batman fan B: if you are, do you subscribe more to the campy style or the serious real world batman.

I for one am a MASSIVE batman fan and I appreciate him being treated very seriously especially since he is one of the few heros without superpowers and is supposed to be a detective. I like that it comes so close to believability.

With that perspective Ledger's performance was astonishing and make Jack look more like a cocky, criminal clown.

Joker is sadistic and ledger played this to a T.

In my opinion this was so close to perfect, I don't want them to do the third one. I just can't imagine them topping this.

I agree with all that technocoy said above. Awesome movie and phenominal performances all around. I didn't care for the new "ex girlfriend" though, but that was incidental. Ledger stole this one.

I totally agree! Go see this movie!! I'm wondering how they'll replace the Batmobile. Didn't they say in "Batman Begins" that there were two tumblers??
