A compelling drama

The Dark Knight is not only the best of the rebooted Batman franchise, the best of the franchise overall ( yes better than the beloved 1989 Batman), perhaps the best DC based movie ever, it is a truly affecting and powerfull psycho drama. Playing on the ancient ideas of rising above humanities baser habits, with the Joker a sharp blade aimed at the heart of peoples nobler ideals, Batman is one part of a trinity of good men trying to save their city from itself. I do not wish to reveal any plot than the already rumored and revealed in press, so I will not make any plot summary for you. I will say that Ledger's performance is full of manic menace and some dark humor, it is a true loss that he will not be back to make us smile again. The plot is full of great moments, twists and turns abound, yet it is not overbloated like others in the series and in this genre. One last note, as a fan who is well aware that even the most satisfying take on Batman can have different flavors, this is a truly dark blend, I would say like the bitterest black coffee. Very intense and violent. Please use good judgement before bringing young children. I want you and the other viewers to enjoy this movie and I don't want to here that a hero of mine has traumtised young ones. I f you have an 8 year old or younger who loves Batman from the animated series, as my son does, get a sitter and rent the Batman:Mask of the Phantasm animted movie for them, or bye it cheap so you can enjoy the similiar story with your kids.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
