Heath Ledger is no one compared to jack Nicholson. The way Jack captured the role of the joker is something that no one could ever come close to doing. The only other joker who I think followed the original Joker style was Paul Molnar with his movie Patient J which you can find on google video. Heath Ledger had a different background on how he became the joker, a different outfit, and a different way of getting the job done. The joker rarley used weapons. he was not a fighter but a runner. He always used the element of surprise to attack Batman. Heath Ledger used bombs and guns which is not what the joker should do. I was very dissapointed with the outcome on how Heath Ledger played the Joker.

whoever writes these reviewa are pathetic, they wouldnt know a good movie if it had hit them in the face. although it was a little longer than expected, i was not disappointed in the least. thankyou batman

Dont know what movie the critics were watching, I thought it was a great movie and loved every minute of it. I would not change anything to it If I could all the actors were great; especially heath's performance. It had to be the best performance from a villian of all time. HL most definatly deserves the oscar for his performance whether he lived or passed on. Most definatley the best Joker of our time to bad we won't see Heath's performance as the Joker in the future.

first and most obvious about this movie is the performance of heath ledger as the joker. So spectacular and brilliant his charactor will go down as one of the all time greatest charctors of any movies EVER!!! he just did such an outstanding job. As for the rest of the cast they all did an excellent job in my eyes . This is one hell of a movie .... I still cant get over the jokers performance FANTASTIC !!!!

The movie was incredible and Heath Ledger should win a posthumous Oscar. What a tragic loss that he is no longer with us. And Christian Bale in one word? YUM!!!!

heath ledger will win an oscar for his "joker role"....it was as good if not better then jack's joker role back in teh 90's..as far as christian bale as batman...it was ok..not greta just ok..ist hard to beat michale kenton's batman...but thats just my opnion...and what do you guys think about "dent" being two face in the next batman?..yes,no,maybe?

To this confused reviewer (how do they get that job anyway?), Christian Bale is one of today's top actors, no way could he ever give a dull performance and as for 2 1/2 hours for a summer movie, well if it's as exciting and awesome as The Dark Knight, well let it roll, most of the movies of the summer are awful and just junk, but now we have a great one, so just sit back and enjoy, and if you call yourself a reviewer, you should be able to handle a 2 1/2 hour movie

the dark knight was an amazing movie. christian bale is an awesome batman and heath ledger was the best joker ever. it was a total transformation i mean he was totally unrecognizable. bale brought the secret to the whole batman/bruce wayne thing. he never even came close to giving it away and ok i understand hes an actor and thats part of the movie but he totally sold it. AWESOME JOB TO THE WHOLE CAST!!

This review is way off in many ways. The only truth are the vague comments about Heath Ledger's performance, which was nothing short of phenomenal. Chrisian Bale was also very good in this movie, not boring, he played the role beautifully and was exactly how I would have pictured both Bruce Wayne, and Batman. As for the length of the movie, its never even noticed until twenty minutes after the movie ends (leaving time for you and the rest of your theater gang to express the amazement of this movie) it is perfectly timed and in no way 'too long.' This movie is going down in the history books for good reason. The best movie i've seen in years and very possibly in my life.

This reviewer should be banned from hollywood and dragged out of the office to be hung for such a horrible review. Your not impressing a soul by attempting to pick out anything wrong thats not actually present in this masterpiece of a film. Your credibility is further lost when noting Bale's "buff bod". Punish your being now as you deserve to be hated as an insolent moron.

To "CrazyBlue" who took their 4YR OLD SON to this borderline R movie...

WTF is wrong with you?

Great movie. Joker was fantastic - reminded me of Hannibal Lecter with his perverse, sick, merciless killings that he always seemed to enjoy. Not a movie for little kids though.

I LOVED this movie! Great acting! It deserves to be the Blockbuster it is!

What a great movie! We took oour 4 year old last night to see it and he LOVED it! Heath Ledger was AMAZING as the joker. I am just sad we won't get to see anymore performances like this. If you haven't seen the movie, GO SEE IT! The best Batman movie!!

This movie was phenomenal. The entire cast did a superb job. It was difficult to watch knowing this was the last full movie that Heath was going to be in and boy, did he ever leave this world with his mark. He will be forever missed. Again, Bale as the Batman is the best!! All of the stars in this movie shined. A definate must see and really could have watched more of it than the 2 1/2 hours!! AWESOME WORK EVERYONE!!!!

Khia was a b@itch to go off on Deelishis from Flavor of Love 2, but boy did Deelishis fight back! It's all on youtube, etc.
