   (imdb rating: 9.7/10)

This is one of the best movies of the 2008

Plot: Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.

One of the most intense movies of the year, and certainly of all time. Heath Ledger gives a commanding performance as the Joker, outdoing even the mighty Christian Bale (that whole voice device thing when he's Batman irks me - update, my friend called it: "cookie monster voice", lol), one that will be remembered for ages, sadly because it was also (of of his last) act(s) in front of the camera

Best scene? The face off with the semi truck!!

Great story, and acting (and casting: Eckhart, Oldman, always Caine always.. except Gyllenhaal) and Nolan continues to prove he is worth every praises he gets


The batpod (Bat's bike) looked a lot better in the movie than in pictures

In general the Batmobile was also bangin.. I had a slight issue with the batsuit, maybe the mask looked a bit weird

Geek moment: Batman conceives of a computer version of Oracle, the ears (and eyes) of Gotham City

One sheet goodness, more
