 I believe whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stranger

Excellent film, better than Batman Begins, but this DVD is a disappointment. It's not that the extras included (all on disc 2) are bad, it's just that you end up feeling there is more to be said about the film than is presented here. There is nothing to make this special edition feel special and i wouldn't be surprised if there was an ultimate edition blu-ray released in the future.

 Superb

this film is in my opinion the second best batman film ever made after batman returns. Christian Bale is a great batman and shows a more darker side to batman then the first few original, and of course Heath Ledger as the joker was out of this world.

 Michael Keaton's beaten

This film is so brilliant, it makes you forget all about the great performaces from Michael Keaton and Arnie in the old Batmans.
Christian Bale is great. He had to put on a bit of weight and muscles for this part to fit in the bat suit which is just another example of his flexibility, also he does a really powerful low voice as Batman so his voice isn't recognized as who he really is (spoiler alert) Bruce Wayne. Heath Ledger is really scary as the Joker.
His make up is all messilly applied making him seem even crazier like he dont care for appearences.But he is intelligent too.
Also Two Face makes an appearance at the end, he flips for heads or tails wether to kill someone or not, heads he kills them, tails he dont, it might be the other way around, I'll have to watch it again.
Bruce Waynes dad is played by Michael Caine again, who puts in another brilliant performance, always telling Bruce about his foibles in hindsight as usual, great character. Gary Oldman is the 'is he dodgy, is he clean?' cop wanting to make Gotham Towns Citys streets clean again. He is also the only friend to Batman and the only policeman who knows he is (spoiler alert) Bruce Wayne. Some of the technology science tools Batman uses are ahead of time, he's a detective which a lot of fans of the movies wont know but comic fans know. Some fans of the Batman game will know too.
Great film with lots of twists and spins.WIll have you reaching for more popcorn.

 The Best Superhero Movie in Cinema History

| | See all deanlowdon's reviews (348)

Continuing from where Batman Begins ended peerless director Christopher Nolan reunites with Christian Bale for the continuing story of The Dark Knight. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent Batman sets out to put a halt to the criminal activity that plagues Gotham City. Just as everything seems to be going their way the peace is shattered by a criminal mastermind known as The Joker.

Batman may be on the DVD cover but this is really The Jokers movie. Following the death of Heath Ledger prior to the movies release there was huge hype regarding his performance and he certainly delivers. His portrayal is a far cry from the camp 1960s iteration and as creepy and disturbing as any villain in cinema history. Running at about two and a half hours in length The Dark Knight needed a worthwhile plot to go with the high quality action scenes and on this count the movie again doesnt fail featuring plenty of twists and surprises.

The Dark Knight is without doubt the best super hero movie of all time and is certainly worth purchasing so that it can be enjoyed again and again.

 Very good!

Extremely good and entertaining, Christian Bale is the best batman so far in my opinion and Heath Ledgers role as the joker beats the hell out of Jack Nicholson's back in 89. Everyone keeps sayingthough how dark knight is so much better than batman begins but i'd say there both as good as each other.

i can generally judge a fim by wether i snooze of before the end.i did.i guess i found it all a bit to long and it lost my interest.saying that it was a very enjoyable dark cold blooded film.i can recommend this film but for me it lost something towards the finish.

 Best Batman movie by far...

| | See all bazzaice00's reviews (3)

I'm a huge batman fan but this movie was by far the best on all levels. Its was darker, more action packed, better story, better acting and no cartoon styling anywhere thank god.

 Amazing

This is the best batman film ever made.
It is not cartoony like the animated series instead it is more realistic.
It is pretty violent for a batman movie with lots of explosions and gun fights.
It is about 2 hours and a half which is a good length for a batman movie.
The joker is the best character in the film .
Overall it is the best batman film ever made.
