If there were only one good thing about this movie, it would be the role of the Joker and the brilliant intensity and meniacle realism that Heath Ledge brought to the role. He stole the show and had everyone forgeting it was Heath and forgeting the recent sad loss of his life. Thats how awesome his portrayal was. Second to that, long plot but worth the 2.5 hours even though I'm no cartoon to movie fan. Awesome and a sad reminder of the loss of such an amazing actor who truely embraced and mastered the craft or art of acting. There will be no other JOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
