The Dark Knight arrives with tremendous hype (best superhero movie ever? posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives up to all of it. But calling it the best superhero movie ever seems like faint praise, since part of what makes the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, and a compelling vision--is that it bypasses the normal fantasy element of the superhero genre and makes it all terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City's new district attorney, charged with cleaning up the crime rings that have paralyzed the city. He enters an uneasy alliance with the young police lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who seems to trust only Gordon--and whom only Gordon seems to trust. They make progress until a psychotic and deadly new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who offers the crime bosses a solution--kill the Batman. Further complicating matters is that Dent is now dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes turned down the chance to reprise her role), the longtime love of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne.
In his last completed role before his tragic death, Ledger is fantastic as the Joker, a volcanic, truly frightening force of evil. And he sets the tone of the movie: the world is a dark, dangerous place where there are no easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman also shine, but as good as Bale is, his character turns out rather bland in comparison (not uncommon for heroes facing more colorful villains). Director-cowriter Christopher Nolan (Memento) follows his critically acclaimed Batman Begins with an even better sequel that sets itself apart from notable superhero movies like Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man because of its sheer emotional impact and striking sense of realism--there are no suspension-of-disbelief superpowers here. At 152 minutes, it's a shade too long, and it's much too intense for kids. But for most movie fans--and not just superhero fans--The Dark Knight is a film for the ages. --David Horiuchi

What! Where are the Special Features? This DVD should have been packed with interviews, deleted scenes, how the special effects were done, etc. I loved the movie (I've seen it 8 times) but was so looking forward to the DVD's special features. What a let down!

No one can deny the incredible performance of Ledger in this movie, but that shouldn't overshadow the fact that this was the best movie of 2008 period. It transcends the genre typecasting of "comic book" movie, and becomes something bigger, better, more mythological. There was no other movie in 2008 that did this, shook off the shackles of genre pigeon-holing to become something other than it was originally perceived to be.

This movie is by far one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The graphics and the story line were just outstanding.
Rating: -
One of the deepest movies about the BATMAN produced to date. It is a two fold movie where kids would nit understand the dialog, but adults would. A movie where the depth is totally understand a second or third viewing with captioning on to absorb all of the intent of the writer and producer. Actors are brilliant and if Heath Ledger doesn't win an Emmy (post death) the Actors Guild is lame. Heath went out of his comfort zone to become the Joker that he was. He character was stronger than that ... Read More

I have never liked the Batman series (like the ones from the 80's), but I love this movie and Batman Begins! They are truly entertaining, but watch out if you have little kids...the Joker is VERY disturbing...great, but disturbing!
