This was an excellent sequel to a very good rendering of the Batman legacy! I was afraid that it might be over anticipated and overrated because of the death of Heath Ledger and the expectations the first movie set! However, this far surpassed my hopes and of course Heath rocked the movie with his stunning and haunting rendition of the Joker. I have always thought of the Joker as the joke villain, the silly piddling, conniving child of the Batman villains, Ledger changed all that. I truly believed his chaos theory and I enjoyed the villain almost more than the heroes I was rooting for! However, Ledgers' performance was not the only wonderful thing about this movie, other things great plot and theme, good music, epic action scenes and a great cast of characters that the audience really care about! What more can I say! Great movie, great acting, willing to see again in the theatres!!!!!
