As I watched the Dark Knight it evoked in me the same feelings I had when I read the Dark Knight Returns by Frank MIller when I was in High School. The horror of the Joker's actions and appearance, the fight for Good that takes its toll on the Batman/bruce wayne. The city and the feel of Gotham as a place I wouldn't want to be... Wraped up in an in your face rollicking ride that never lets up, building and building to wave after crashing wave of action sequences that were so well done. See the movie and enjoy the experience. Soak in the intensity of the Batman as he should be.
