Wow, quiet thread, I see.

I recently re-watched both: The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Both were good, but I TDK was clearly better for me.

Heath Ledger.......??????.......film-making has gone to hell....him as the Joker, now that really is the biggest JOKE of all!!!!!

Comments like these are quite amusing now.

Best in the series. I prefer Ledger's Joker even to the comic book versions. Call me a blasphemer if you like.

I enjoyed this movie.

The aspect that I liked best was the formation and execution of the Gotham triumvirate. Like Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey found that Rome's political, social, economic, and judicial systems no longer functioned for the betterment of the people, so Batman (Wayne), Dent, and Gordon found that their cultural systems were outdated and ineffective.

I could watch a ten hour movie that focuses on just the triumvirate.
