I would recommend this movie to any true batman fan (over the age of 13), the DARK knight is taken literally and the movie examines some of the more bleak aspects of the world. This is a thought provoking film that truly does justice to the iconic characters from batman. Ledger's performance isn't just buzz. He delivers a wonderfully believable joker that It isn't too over the top. And Nolan has managed to produce a sequel that out does Batman Begins, a feat that certainly wasn't easy!
