Everyone keeps singing Ledger's praise of how great of a Joker he was, how he was the best Joker ever, and how it may have been the best performance ever. And I would agree with all those things. But what people are not saying is that out of all the pairings of Batmans/Villains, Ledger and Bale are the best there ever has been and probably the best there ever will be! My wife said, "The Joker reminded me of Saw." It was quite shocking to hear her say that, but I can actually see it. He is demented, psycho, and wants to teach everyone that they're just like him. Bottom line, this movie is a must see for EVERYONE, not just people that like Batman, the acting was that great and I expect many awards for this epic movie.
