Brilliant spin on terrorism and homeland security.

Obviously the best comic film ever made. That being said, if there was no comic book involved, this would still be a highly meaningful and entertaining film. The Joker, representing terrorism, Batman, representing homeland security, and spying on people via cell phones, representing a misuse of the Patriot Act. Excellent direction, with stunning visuals. The script is far superior to any Batman script prior to this. The dialogue was meaningful. The acting, well, where do I begin. Christian Bale is by far the best Batman to date. He is a man torn between right and wrong, and Bale pulls it off poetically. Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Aaron Eckhart, all flawless. The weak points were few, but here they are: The turn to Two-Face by Harvey Dent was a little quick. Not quite justifiable enough. Maggie Gyllenhaal's part seemed to be useless. She did what she could with the role, but it seemed as if she was there to be the woman who needed saving, and nothing else.
Now, on to Heath Ledger as the Joker. Wow. No backstory needed for his character, as he is just plain and simply, insane. He has no motive, just loves crime. I got home the other night after the film, and watched Jack Nicholson as the Joker. I turned it off. Unfortunately, there will never be another Joker after Ledger's take on the role. And we will be reciting his famous lines from this film forever. Why so serious? Well, congratulations Heath, you are going to get your Oscar. And that should put a smile on that face. Indeed, a fine farewell by Ledger. We shall miss you, and the many great things you would have done.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
