Easily the greatest Batman movie ever made, Heath Ledger's final performance was his best performance. His portrayal of the Joker should rank among the top movie villains in cinema history. The Dark Knight starts off with a suspenseful bang, and never lets up. The story engages you throughout, keeping you guessing what will happen next. Best movie of the summer, quite possibly the year. Oscar worthy in directing (Chirstopher Nolan), acting (Ledger) and overall picture.
