Urgent from Sam -- Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight.'
10:27 PM June 26, 2008

I just returned from a screening and I wanted to commit this to a public forum as quickly as possible. Heath Ledger gives a blockbuster performance in the new Batman movie. His work, as The Joker, will absolutely be nominated for an Oscar, and at this point in the year, Ledger is also a hands-down favorite to win it posthumously. Ledger offers perfect pitch, perfect tone, his Joker hits all the right notes. 'The Dark Knight' is among the better super-hero movies of all time, and Ledger is THE BEST villain in a super hero movie of all time. Really. It will only add to the conversation of all that Ledger could have accomplished had he lived. Amazing work.

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

Anyone else think this could be the best movie of the last 10 years? I hope to hell i'm not overhyping this to myself but I feel like this is going to be "the one". This will be my new "The Crow" movie, a comic book movie done to perfection with both a great hero and a fantastic villain. I'm just worried i'm overselling it to myself honestly.

Honestly, I have hyped myself up to the point that in my mind this is already the best movie I have ever seen.

The best part? Even if it falls short of my expectations, it will still probably be the best movie I have ever seen because my hype-meter and expectations are that high.

I just requested off that entire week (the 13th through 20th) so I'm planning on seeing it at least 3 or 4 times that weekend, and at least once in iMax.

I agree, I think this is the one. God help me if it isn't. I love Patrick Bateman as Batman and Heath Ledger as the Joker is gold. I don't see how it can fail.

Why stop there?

-Michael Caine is amazing as Alfred. He's got the perfect balance of power/influence and servitude, like Alfred did in the graphic novels.

-Aaron Eckhart is, in my opinion, going to nail Dent down. Whether or not his Two-Face is as amazing as I feel its going to be remains to be seen.

Really, if this cast can nail down four of the biggest characters in the Gotham universe, I don't know what else we can ask for. A good Selina Kyle is the only thing I can think of.

I wish Scarecrow would get more screen-time cause I really dig Murphy in the role. Hopefully he'll make an appearance in the third movie as well.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot all about Murphy as Scarecrow. Add that to the list of Gotham characters that this series nailed.

If only they had nailed Raz down, they'd be 6 of 6.

Re: The Dark Knight Discussion

really looking forward to seeing this, thought the first one was pretty good but by the previews this one looks even better do to the joker being a better villain than the scarecrow

Heath Ledger as the Joker will go down as being the best villain to ever appear in any comic book movie ever. Period.
