This is a bit off-topic... But Iron Man fighting the last villain at 20% capacity was a bullshit choice. Could've made the movie 10x better if he actually, you know, pulled off some Iron Man moves.
I was just thinking of making a thread on this when i just got home from the movie theater but seems their already is one.
This movie is fantastic best movie of '08 so far by FAR it is truly an amazing movie, if your reading this and havnt watched the movie get ur lazy ass off ur chair and go watch it its well worth ur money, not that i payed 4 it;)
holy hell..that movie was a piece of beautiful art. inspiring even.
That movie is and will be a classic film for ages to come. Heath ledger left us one last gift before he left, and man was it good. What an epic way to go out. leave your masterpiece as you leave.

You should edit your post so that the section I blanked out is as well. Thats a big spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen it.
Heath Ledger's portrayal was absolutely astounding. This iteration of the Joker is based on that of Frank Miller's Joker from "The Killing Joke" and another comic I read that explored the inner mechanics of Joker's psyche, both of which dealt with the similarities between himself and Batman, their endless waltz of death, and how the Joker's "re-invents" himself. Ultimately, however, this is an all-new character thoroughly worked out and invented by Ledger, and was beautifully done. No one -- regardless of age, sex, and bias for or against the Batman franchise -- will be disappointed by his performance.
All of this, however, flies contrary to the Joker's last few lines in the film, and yet at the same time highlight Ledger's acting that much more. While Ledger has passed on, he has given birth to a new entity -- a whole new character -- that will forever endure in the minds of those who see this film, and somehow lends credence to his words.
With all this said, I must relate my favorite Joker scene, which absolutely DEFINES this character:
A stooped, skeletal figure dressed in the white dress of an orderly walks out of a large hospital. Several moments before he pressed an ignition button, which even now detonates bomb after bomb around the Joker as he makes his leisurely exodus. The camera pans out to take this in, and the Joker walks up and stops, almost waiting for something. He then turns around and shrugs in a "Oh, come on" gesture, then wrestles with the detonation switch for a few moments before the hospital implodes. Satisfied and grinning, the Joker exits the scene.

Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

One of the best films of all time!! The action was immense, the story was brilliant, and the acting was magnificent!!
Heath was the perfect portrayal for the Joker.
"I'm gonna make this pencil disappear."
BAM!!
"IT'S GONE!! Heeheeheehee!"
God that laugh was fucking perfect!!
I'm going to try and go see it again in the theatre probably next weekend too. Not to mention, buying the best, coolest special/collector's edition dvd that they offer.
I am still amazed at Christian Bale as Batman in these movies. Not sure how they are pulling it off each time, but whoever the casting director was, needs a big FAT promotion.
Best Comic movie I have seen to date.. and my #2 now of all time..
Fantastic..

I work at the local theater so I got to see the movie the day before it came out =) I believe The Dark Knight is the best Batman movie of all time and Heath played the best Joker. I just love walking into the theater and watching everyone's reaction to the "Magic trick" =)
Forgot to say that Christian Bale really over did the voice for Batman and that the local theater only had one huge night and it's only been selling half of it's seats..... its oh so sad!

And I concur with basically everyone that has seen this movie... 'twas amazing, especially Ledger's performance.

If I didn't know Ledger was the Joker I would never had guessed it, what a great actor...
