Glad to have the Joker back

The Dark Knight brought the Batman franchise back. Since the original Batman with Nicholson and Keaton the series has been alright, but nothing spectacular.
This movie had a great storyline, introducing or re-introducing characters and bringing the best of supervillans back to face Batman. The special effects were awesome and the toys... "where does he get those wonderful toys" now we know... from Lucius Fox. I think we got to learn more about Bruce Wayne, not just that his parents were killed by the Joker like the first time around, but that the Batman believes he is not Gotham's hero.
Wayne's struggle with his own demons and his desire to wind up with Rachel Dawes was convincing. Almost to the point where he might give up being Batman.
I liked this move all the way from beginning to end and thought Ledger gave an amazing performance as the Joker.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
