Wow! What a damn amazing movie! So much better than the previous Batman movie. The cast was phenomenal, the acting was on targeted, and the story was entertaining, thought provoking, shocking, and action-filled! The movie definitely lived up to the hype, and so did Heath Ledger's final performance. Heath Ledger brought new life to the Joker. No longer is the Joker a goofy-crazy villain, but an emotionally disturbed human being desiring to make his mark on Gotham City. The transformation that Ledger bring to the Joker is as disturbing and well acted as the transformation experienced by Charlize Theron in her 2003 Academy Award Winning performance for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in Monster. The Dark Knight forever redefines the epic tale of Batman and eccentric characters.
