The Dark Knight's world of dread immerses you into a battle between good versus evil, and how the greatest of men can easily be turned to deliver evil. The first Batman only gave us a small taste of seriousness but this one seems to drive right at the heart of the point. Heath Ledger is stunning and masterful, while Christian Bale delivers a consistent performance. There are no real holes to this story, and the movie always clues you into the impending terror that is about to unravel whenever Joker and Batman are in the same area... it's just masterful. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for any film viewing pleasure. There should be awards given to this movie.
