This was one of the best movies i have seen in years. My husband and i went to see it 2 times and i bet we will see it at least once more before it leaves theaters. I never thought anyone could live up to Jack Nickolsons role as the joker, but Heath certainly surpassed him. There was definatly a sense of realism there. Too bad he didn't live long enough to do a sequel. He is very missed!!
