Excellent

Like a good disaster movie, a good superhero movie should focus on the surrounding characters. Batman is a force- unstoppable, unwavering, and uncontrolled.
It's the characters around him that change and react. The Dark Knight is about all of these characters dealing with the actions of Batman as he tries to save the city. Gordon, as he deals with his force; Harvey, trying to be the hero Batman cannot be; Rachel, living her plan B; Bruce, trying to deal with who Batman must become to save Gotham.
Don't worry, Batman will get his screen time. But it is much eclipsed by The Joker. The perfect foil to Batman, he exists for no purpose, but is just as unstoppable. When the two clash across the city, everyone must make their choices defining what it means to be good and to be a hero, even if those choices are never perfect.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Convincing

Normally in superhero movies, the conversion from normal person to hero is not very convincing. Not only is RDJ capable of convincing you that he is Tony Stark, he convinces you he is capable of changing into a hero.
After two hours, you'll look back and realize that how most every scene was just Stark dealing with himself.
It brings characterization and acting normally not scene in this genre, and it rewards handsomely for it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
