I don't know if it's possible for a superhero movie to be THIS good. Maybe it's not fair to call this a "superhero flick". But somehow Chris Nolan & his ensemble cast pulled it off wonderfully.
From the opening ariel view of Gotham City (and the one of the best and most memorable bank heists you'll ever see on camera), until the movie's closing narration, "The Dark Knight" is a tense, captivating, and phenominal experience.
The cinematography was breathtaking (IMAX cameras go a long way I guess). The score always seemed to set the tone of the scenes so nicely. And lest I forget, the acting was (especially for a so-called "superhero flick") spot on.
Let's just get straight into the Joker: possibly the strangest, most twisted, and absolutely FASCINATING villians I've ever seen. I couldn't help but notice and awe at every twitch, and movement Heath Ledger made; every dart of his eyes and every change of his (truly) bizzare voice kept me mesmorized.
But that's not to say that this completely dwarfs the performances of the other actors. Bale's 2nd turn as Bruce Wayne/Batman was excellent. And Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent embodied a truly tragic hero, one who's descent into darkness will haunt you as you leave the theaters. Excellent supporting turns by Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman also go a long way with such limited camera time.
Overall, a powerful experience, and an awesome film!
