This has to be the best movie I have seen all year, and the first I've seen more than once in theaters. Heath Ledger is the Joker, which I'm sure is being said in every other review on this site and others. He came off as a very freightening serious funny character and went above and beyond out doing Jack Nicholsons version of the Joker and it'll be hard for anyone to beat. Christian Bale once again does an excellent job as The Dark Knight and Playboy Bruce Wayne. The Dark Knight pushes the PG-13 rating and goes close to being an R rating which would have been a nice touch to see. All in all it was, as the title says, the best movie of the year.
