Ledger and Bale add to the Darkness

"Batman Begins" took the Caped Crusader down a darker, and more action driven path as far as the franchise is concerned to me. The Dark Knight, I think, is not really intended for children. It is very preachy, but in a countries such as the U.S., where religion is not the moral compass it once was, I think our sermons should come from somewhere. I think the intricacies of anarchy, sanity, good, and evil are toyed with, explored, and the lines of those intricacies are definitely crossed, and recrossed in "The Dark Knight". Batman is a super hero, with no super powers, but his detective abilities are on in full display. It also has something to say about the goodness that exists in mankind on a whole when faced with impending doom. Everyone talks about Heath Ledger's Joker, and he is as twisted, demented, a creepy as advertised, but I think the film does a great job of portraying him as an excellent planner, and criminal mastermind. Joker always gives Batman a run for his money, and so does in this film. A+. I hope all comic films from here on hold themselves up to higher more respectful standards as this franchise shows how it is supposed to be done."
Yes, I recommend this movie.
