The Dark Knight was awesome. I was lucky enough to be able to watch it in the IMAX, and even though our film cut out about 3 times (thanks, inattentive projectionists...), I was still very excited and in to the movie. It's very intense and fast-paced, so don't fall asleep (I don't see how you could.). That being said, Heath Ledger did a fantastic job as the Joker, Aaron Eckhart is awesome as Harvey Dent, and Christian Bale, per usual, is excellent as billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. And some other guy.
