Compared to the last Batman from Bale and company this was an unexpected and extended pleasure. I really enjoyed the last Batman movie with the martial art background. The Joker, Ledger, was enjoyable dark experience. Jack Nicholson would have provided a memorial screen experience, but I think Ledger provided an additional physical content Nicholson may not have been able to provide. What is so good is that the Joker is still alive and able to frighten the city again. So something to look forward from the The Dark Knight's crusade for Gotham comfort.
