With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as "The Joker".

I've heard talk that Heath Ledger might be receiving an Oscar for his role as The Joker. At first this was slightly hard to believe, I mean, it is, after all, a superhero movie right? After watching this film I'm sold. Truly spectacular, Ledger is true gold. If the entire movie was edited to no plot and only Heath's portrayal of the Joker it would still be worth my 7 bucks. A must see for fans and non-fans alike.

Without a doubt, one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. It surpasses the genre of comic book adaptation into a new realm. This movie will be the new standard by which all comic movies are judged. And let me just say if this movie doesn't sweep the Oscars then heads are gonna' roll. Seriously, if "Return of the King" can do it, this can. As far as comic book movies are concerned this is for sure on par with "Return of the King". It's the geek movie I've been waiting for all of my life. Scorsesian in tone and Ridley Scottish in scope. The references to "Godfather II" are not overstating it at all!

One of the happiest viewings I've had in all my time watching movie. I had a smile of amazement throughout as if this movie had fulfilled everything I had hoped it would. I wasn't let down by a single second of it and all I could hope for was more, more, more.

See it IMAX for even more perfection. Seriously, drive cross country if you have to, but see it in IMAX.
