Although not as personally inspiring as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight still leaves you with some things to think about by the time it's over. Ledger moves the Joker more toward the pyschotic than the comedic, but isn't a man who can giggle while facing death what the Joker is all about? Batman himself doesn't seem to find any more than his usual struggle of purpose but events in film tease future anguish of a different sort.
