This was an awesome movie IMO. i love this style batman based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller. Definatly way batter than the nineties offerings. As far as the Joker goes i wouldn't put it past Ledger to win an academy award for best supporting actor. I almost couldn't sleep after seeing it his character was soo twisted. I knew it was going to be good after the magic trick scene with the joker and the mob lakey.
