as you all know the Dark Knight is a sequel to last summers Batman Begins and has recieved twice as much hype as the first movie. The Dark Knight is really more of the same with Heath Ledger Providing one awesome performance as the JOker who sets the bar higher than Liam Neeson's Henri Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul the one spirited man who used two bodies to foil with batman.
the Dark knight like it's predecessor has one hell of a cast which includes Gary Oldman(Lt. Jim Gordon),Aaron Eckhart(Harvey Dent), Maggie Gyllenhaal(Rachel Dawes), Morgan Freeman(Lucius Fox),Eric Roberts(salvatore Maroni),Michael Caine (alfred Pennyworth) and cillian Murphy as the scarecrow.
The Dark knight which is just as long as Batman Begins, a whole two and a half hours, is action packed from the begginning wich has batman stopping the scarecrow from robbing a bank with the mob led by Salvatore maroni while the Joker is simultaneously doing the same thing and getting away with it. and once batman is done with them he leaves Lt. Jim GOrdon to clean up as usual.
This leaves Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes To procescute the mob putting 200 men in jail at once thanks to the judge giving Dent an arrest warrant. this all happens within the first half an hour.
Maggie Gyllenhaal who replaced Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes fits the character more and is more enigmatic. although as someone who just picked up this new series won't even notice the diference. however, Rachel Starts Dating Dent and creates a love triangle for Bruce when he tells Rachel that that time when two can be together is nearly there.
Heath Ledger's perfomance as the joker Blows Jack Nicholson's performance in the original batman out of the water. because not only is the joker more pychotic he has his way of having fun as well.
The Dark knight is the best installment in the batman franchis thus far do not miss the summer blockbuster
