Midnight showing last night….this morning? Believe the hype — The Dark Knight was an amazing movie. How rarely does a sequel surpass its predecessor? Very rarely. Heath Ledger’s performance was pretty incredible, to say the least. I was huge fan of Jack Nicholson and the 1989 version, but Heath Ledger is definitely the real Joker.

The film makes all four previous Batman movies look like a complete joke (no pun intended). Remember Batman & Robin? Unfortunately, so do I. What a mess. Kudos to Christopher Nolan for reviving the franchise and finally making a Batman movie the way it was supposed to be made.
