First, for comicbook fans of the Dark Knight and those who loved the previous Christian Bale Batflick, you're in for a treat. Bale's the Batman isn't centrally developed in this rounds, and Chris Nolan appropriately avoided giving a deep background overview of the two emerging villains. The story flows similar to a comic book, yet felt superbly structured for the big screen with audience silencing dramatic scenes and "whoop/cheer" inducing action senquences.
The Dark Knight is truly a Dark nod to the Frank Miller comics. Gotham is dark and despairing, yet the important part of the plot is the scriptwriters' addition of the city of Gotham as a character in which the villain and the hero are both clammering to either destroy or protect.
The weakest link, for me, was Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who just wasn't fleshed out enough in this film to empathise or care for. Usually, the films of this nature have a standout female performer to allow the viewers to become excited about the tension between the male leads, yet here, the film kind of let the viewers down.
Yet, the 2 1/2 hour film keeps the story moving and by the time the film reaches it's conclusion, like the other audience members, I was voicing my cry for more.
So I say, go see Dark Knight. Go see it once, go see it twice, hell, go see it again.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
