this was one of the best batman movies ive ever seen. heath ledger reinvented the joker and showed his psychotic side, truely realistic. however i would say that christian bale was below standards as batman. when he talked it was under his voice, like he was whispering and sounded like he had a lisp. didnt make for a very convincing batman. i think it was great that they brought in harvey dent as two face. it definatly opens it up for another movie in the series. the setting in chicago shows the beauty of the city and being from chicago i loved it. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. i cant wait to see it in imax :)
