The Dark Knight is definitely a good choice to see at the theatre. All the madness might be over hyped (there wasn't enough character development in the script for the Joker to be as legendary as many would like) but it was still an overall good performance by Heath. I think many aren't being critical at all, though, because of his death and must keep in mind that many of the things Heath said in the movie were his lines and not of his own genius. Christian Bale's batman voice was sometimes so dramatic I missed what he was saying. Christopher Nolan needs to slow down technical scenes because (just like in his last batman's fight scenes) sometimes the audience has no idea what just happened. I suggest watching the other batman movies before seeing this one so that you will be able to review it fairly. Jack and Heath's Jokers are so different that you can't say whose is better, Jack is good at playing his version and Heath is good at playing his. Michael Caine is always perfect at Alfred, it's like he doesn't even have to act. Gary Oldman was a nice new addition and the bad side of his face (when he becomes two face) is almost dead on the comics. Maggie as Rachel is kind of disappointing. Maggie seemed tired and a lot older than she did in Stranger than Fiction. I'd reccommend this to Batman fans because this movie caught the idea of Batman: Everything is not cheery like they are with Superman, things are realistic and dark. Superman stuff is all chalk and cheese anyways, go see Batman!
