Excellent movie. Best of the trilogy. Lovely music. Nolan is a genius. So is Heath Ledger.

Christian Bale returns as Batman, was able to perform as wonderfully as he did in Batman Begins. The one person that ultimately stole the show had to be the late Heath Ledger who played as the Joker. His performance as a psychotic clown terrorizing Gotham City was one of the best perform…
