I had heard all the reviews and Heath Ledger's performance as the joker is fantastic. If you thought Jack immortalized the character, wait until you see this. This is the perfect tie in to Batman Begins and the telling of the dark adult version of Batman. Batman is known for being able to bend the rules unlike Superman who stands for truth, justice and the American way. In keeping with true bat-lore the joker helps to mold Batman into the dark protector who everyone needs and no one wants to be seen defending. Two-face was well played as well. Much darker and more tortured than that of Tommy Lee Jones. We were able to see the director's cut with 15 minutes extra footage! CAN'T WAIT until Chris Nolan and Christian Bale bring us the next one!
