Easily the best Batman movie ever, and certainly a candidate for the best movie of 2008. "Iron Man" was a lighter and more fun version of this billionaire-vigilante-comic-book movie genre, which I love, so I'm glad this wasn't just another one of those. It's a fantastic sequel to "Batman Begins", but this time less fantasy and firmly grounded in a real city representing Gotham (Chicago). Heath Ledger as the Joker is amazing as the incarnate of pure evil, who enjoys killing but prefers to force others to kill to savor the mayhem. It is the thinking man's comic book movie, almost operatic in its fight between good and evil with Batman stuck morally somewhere in the middle. Batman's gadgets are not the focus (though he has some great ones this time), instead the good-vs-evil is. The end product is highly believable for today -- no suspended disbelief -- so the terror of the story sticks with you for a long time afterwards since it cannot be so easily dismissed. Expect a sequel.
And for God's sake, don't bring your 5 year old 'cuz you're to lazy or cheap to find a babysitter and traumatize him! What are some people thinking?? I took my 13-year-old boy and one disturbing scene is still stuck in his mind.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
