The Dark Knight


First off, if you haven't seen The Dark Knight yet. Stop whatever you are doing and go see it. It has reportedly broken the opening weekend record topping $155 Million.

The newest Batman movie features the late Heath Ledger as the Joker. He is clearly the star of the show providing a fiendish villain. I loved his performance, and all of the other actors did a good job as well. I won't go into the story too much, but most of it revolves around the joker creating havoc and Batman chasing after him.

The thing I liked about this movie is that it was very mature, dark and realistic. I say realistic in the movie sense. Characters make choices that real people would make, and Batman's gadgets seem somewhat plausible for a high tech guy. The whole movie was the perfect foil for Iron Man (awesome movie).
