The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves effective, but soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Heath Ledger stars as archvillain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast as Rachel Dawes. Returning from Batman Begins are Gary Oldman as Gordon, Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.

A Thinking Man's Comic Book Movie Jul 28, 2010
Yes, I'm sure you've heard about Ledger's outstanding performance as the Joker - but it's not just a "say-nothing-ill-of-the-dead" review. It's a truly original, as well as faithful performance. Jack Nicholson didn't really perform the genius of the Joker as much as his craziness; it was more like Nicholson doing macabre vaudeville. It wasn't the real Joker. This is the real Joker through and through, but re-envisioned with a dose of realism. And by saying this, I dare you to find Heath Ledger anywhere in that mad man on the silver screen.

The script is sharp, delves into Batman's psyche better than any cinematic endeavor to date (except for one game: Batman: Arkham Asylum. This is just the current level of performance gifted to director Nolan.

The entire cast is the strongest of any recent movie I've seen, but I will say there's one moment where Bale's raspy voice as the Dark Knight is kind of awkward. No movie's perfect, but this one may well inspire a three-time viewing.

Very disappointing as a special edition Jul 25, 2010
The movie is great! but the features sucks! If you wanna buy cause of the movie go for it, but if you are a feature fun, then don't waste your $$$, we should wait till they come out with a better version and show more on how the made the movie etc.

Dark but very entertaining Jul 25, 2010
Heath Ledger gives an epic performance. Moves quickly, drama and suspense are well done - you're never bored. Nice camera work, good acting - as usual Zimmer provides a great score. All around a great movie.

Total Crap - Batman is a loser! Jul 24, 2010
I liked the first one and thought the Joker was way too Psychotic and Batman was always 3 steps behind him and got his ASS Kicked!

LOSER!
