I'm not typically a fan of superheros. But this one and it's predecessor are exciting, dark adventures. I though Ledger was really great as the Joker -- played him very differently than I've ever scene the Joker played -- I'm a fan of his portrayal. Gyllenhaal is a poor substitute for Holmes -- and I don't think Holmes was that good -- but she can be overlooked. Wouldn't recommend it for younger kids though -- it's pretty scary and intense.

Hands down best movie of the summer, and easily my new favorite movie. This movie is amazing, the action is amazing, the story is amazing and the acting is amazing. Heath Ledger owns this movie. His voice and actions as the joker, make it funny and extremely dark at the same time....amazing. However, that is the one complaint i have about the movie, which isn't really a complaint, i just wanted to see the joker more, he leaves you wanting to watch him. This movie is a great sequel and a great great movie.

I enjpyed it immensely! Although, I already knew that Harvey Dent was going to turn into Twoface, so that was a bit of a spoiler for me. I think that the best plot-twist was when Maggie Gyllenhaal's character died. THAT was a big surprise. And, although Heath Ledger's unfortunate death did propel the hype about his character, I think that much of it is warranted.

One of the best movies that I have seen all year. I thought that Heath Ledger made this movie. I am a big fan of him, and this time I think he really outdid himself. He portrayed the Joker like no other. This was a great movie.

I loved this movie!! It met my expectations and more. It was very well done! Which is good considering all the hype that was put into this. I thought Heath made this movie. I don't think the movie would have been half as good without him. However, I don't think he deserves an Oscar for his performance. Maybe nomination, but not the award. Sorry. But it's still my favorite film of 2008. Hands down.......

Action: 3/3, Comedy 1/2, Good vs. Evil: 1/1, Romance/Love: 1/1, Special effects: 1/1, Plot: 1/1, Music: 1/1. My rating system gives it a 9/10 or 90%, which is 4/4 stars. Nolan continues this franchise into "one of the greatest superhero flicks ever" territory. Every element of this film is outstanding- a wonder to behold.

I hope people will be able to differentiate between a good movie and great acting in a movie. Heath and Aaron were fantastic in their respective roles, but the movie sucked donkey butter. At the helm of the suckage is Nolan and his co-writers for the lack of proper story and character development. 5.8/10

The Dark Knight is the masterpiece that Batman Begins wanted to be. Heath Ledger's performance will be remembered forever and if he doesn't win that Oscar I'm going to be incredibly disappointed. He gave one of the most deserving performances I've ever seen.
