Ledger gives a performance worthy of notoriety, aside from his tragedy. Believe the hype about him in this role- it would have earned him the highest film honors. Aside from his excellence, the conscience of the film is accurate and timely. Introducing the imperfect superhero to American audiences, the film will garner acclaim from a variety of literary critics.
It is truly a film not for children, and though the PG-13 rating is accurate, the "menacing" images should keep children from the theater. Overall awesome, but surreal at times.
