As the mob of Gotham City is forced underground by the Batman, a new criminal is emerging. The Joker (Heath Ledger) is a savvy criminal who has no personal boundaries. He starts to test the Batman's limits. This leaves Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), with a dilemma as to how far he should go to stop the Joker. He decides that Gotham needs a "face" of hope that he could not give them, but Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) can.
This story surpassed my expectations, despite the fact that my expectations were already very very high. The trailers did a good job leaving out the overall dilemma of the story and left it to be a surprise. While there were many outstanding performances, by both cast and crew, many will agree with me when I say that Heath Ledger surpassed anyone's expectations and became more than just a heartthrob. He stood out in a way that left me extremely paranoid and scared, as he should have. He definitely deserves the oscar buzz, and hopefully eventual nomination. The overall cast also did an amazing job. Christian Bale's Batman was brutal and honest and the rest of the cast greatly displayed a "fear" that the Joker instilled in everyone. There were many levels of the story, but none left me confused or annoyed. They all clashed together perfectly and Christopher Nolan outdid his usual amazing directing and became outstanding. Usually when my expectations are high, I am dissapointed as it did not deliver as much as the trailer promised. But I am happy to say that this outdid anything I had in mind. It is definitely a darker movie filled with more suspense than Batman Begins and does an excellent job of keeping the good name to the Nolan Batman franchise.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
