throughout the entirety of the movie, i could only watch in awe and regret as heath ledgers performance was the most huanting rendition of the joker i've ever seen. The joker was played with such a ravenous intensity that the more i love the joker, the more i hate him. becuase nothing will be able to top his performance. A second movie with the joker? don't even think about it. if you cant do it better, don't do it.
