The Dark Knight is not just dark like Batman Begins. It takes it to a whole new level. Little humorous moments, the movie is a serious adventure the whole way through. You see Batman struggle with both of his identities and his attempt to stop the Joker. Heath Ledger portrays the Joker as most have never thought of before. Not dancing around like a clown or goofing around. But a dark sadistic madman who is a genius in his own way. It is rare to see someone portray so well a character that has no appreciation for human life, but Ledger does not disappoint. It is rare lately to find a movie that is worth the expensive ticket price, but The Dark Knight is definitely a worthy investment for one's ten dollars. Best movie of the summer, hands down.
