Batman's struggle against The Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent, and Rachel Dawes.Written by

The Joker's fate at the end of this movie was left ambiguous. This is in line with the comics, as The Joker would routinely be presumed dead to end a story, only to see him return in later stories very much alive. See more »
Goofs
When he and Alfred are on the pleasure yacht, Bruce is picked up by a plane capable of water landings.
When he does the sky-hook to pick up Lau, the plane that retrieves him is a C-130 Commando Solo, incapable of water landings. Given that the first plane was there just to pick Bruce up and get him to Hong Kong via non-official means, there is no reason to suspect that its crew knew him to be Batman. Likewise, the crew of the plane that picks him up in the "sky-hook" operation would have no reason to suspect him to be Bruce Wayne, given that he's in his Batman outfit when they pick him up and he's not shown to reveal himself as Bruce.

Grumpy:
[with Chuckles, picks up Bozo on the street]
Three of a kind, let's do this!
Chuckles:
Huh, that's it? Three guys?
Grumpy:
Plus two guys on the roof. Every guy gets a share. Five shares is plenty.
Chuckles:
*Six* shares. Don't forget the guy who planned the job.
Grumpy:
If he thinks he can sit it out and still take a slice I know why they call him "The Joker".
Happy:
[up on the roof, breaking open the alarm box with Dopey]
So why do they call him "the Joker"?
Dopey:
I hear he wears makeup.
Happy:
Makeup?

Yeah, to scare people. You know, ...

Alternate Versions
The Blu-ray version of the movie has several of the big action scenes and high altitude photography scenes in ordinary 16:9 (1.78:1) widescreen ratio while the rest of the movie preserves the "scope" format (2.39:1). This is because these scenes were filmed in IMAX, whose format is 1.43:1, thus attempting to recreate the effect witnessed in IMAX theaters, as well as preserving as much of these shots as possible.

Well here it is, one of the most anticipated movies of the year so far. How was it? It was excellent. By far the best Batman film ever made and of course it will be one of the most memorable action films for a long while.
Everyone was waiting to see how well Heath Ledger performed as The Joker in this film. He definitely deserves an Oscar in his honor. The character was so dark and creepy that it sent chills up my back. Compared to Heath's other films like '10 Things I Hate About You' and even 'Brokeback Mountain' proves that this man could actually act, doesn't matter what character, he could do it.
The film's storyline has many twists and all are rewarding, the story is developed constantly after each scene, making you wonder what's next. Excellent craft and flows well towards the conclusion.
During the film on the scene with Batman against the Joker, Bike vs Truck. People thought this was the ending. No, it kept going which was awesome, the story kept getting darker and darker, I guess that's why they called it the 'Dark' Knight as well as the relation to Batman himself.
The cast was great. With Christopher Nolan playing Batman, good performance, Heath Ledger played extremely well, Maggie was annoying at times, but still deserves to be praised. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman had minor roles which satisfied the audiences. Aaron Eckhart starts with a minor role which slowly progresses and becomes evil which is quite surprising and entertaining to watch.
Great directing made the movie enjoyable, they added more action this time which made the film feel powerful, lighting was done well especially showing Harvey/ Two Face's face in the many moods he displayed.
Great explosions made it entertaining. Made you feel great that this is finally the best action to come in a long time.
This movie deserves a 10/10 rating and credit on behalf of the great young actor Heath Ledger's life. (May he R.I.P) His performance made what this film is right now.
I recommend this film for any action fan, especially a Batman fan. Or if your even a Heath Ledger fan. Go ahead right now and see this film. It's great!
