This movie was by far the best depiction of Batman and Co. to date. Christian Bale once again does a stellar performance presenting the dynamic of Bruce Wayne and his true self Batman. Only Michael Keaton came close to it, but Bale has nailed it. As far as Heath Ledger's Joker what can I say that has not already been said other than I was a doubter now I'm a believer. HIS JOKER WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! Scary clown perfection. There can really be no comparison between his and Nicholson's which would not leave Nicholson's depiction wanting. The only way anyone could top this is if someone could incorporate the...wait a minute you can't top perfection. His (Ledger's) Joker was the JOKER. TWO-FACE also rocked and I am really hoping that he will be the main baddie in the next. See the movie.
