If there were more stars to check off, I would have checked them. Saw this film @ midnight and if you're a fan of the Batman franchise, you MUST see this film. I know there's a lot of talk about Ledger's portrayal of the Joker being Oscar worthy and after you see this film, you'll understand why. Christopher Nolan's manner in which he portrays the Dark Knight is spot on. Although it's based on a comic book character, he truly brings the characters to life and the way he tells the story in this and Batman Begins are the best of all. This one being on another level still. My only disappointment is in the actress that was chosen to play Rachel. I just didn't care for her performance. Not that I'm comparing it to others, but I just didn't care for her. GO SEE THIS FILM!
