The great highlight of this movie no doubt was that in the end the bad guy wins, and so does the audience. True to the Batman mythos supposed victory over the enemy comes from great loss. Although Ledger plays a hypnotic version of Joker, Nolan has written the best screen version thus far. Beginning to end the "agent of chaos" runs every character. If multiple villians in one movie has raised red flags for you in the past, this film will pleasantly suprize you in the end.
