Well I saw it and Christen Bale and Heath Ledger both were masters of their parts, great movie. You were correct Sneez Ledger elevated The Joker to way above 10 on the typical scale, NO QUESTION! A shame he isn't around to enjoy his success. But I think he would have had a hard time ever doing something again as good as he portrayed The Joker. There was a lot of detailed violence but you never see any blood, not to say that this movie should ever be seen by any one underage, never. The disappearing pencil, the 3 descriptions of how The Joker received his scars... to Batman's stitching job...
I heard today that The Dark Knight on Saturday afternoon (!) just passed The Spiderman 3 as the most quick to make the most money at over $66.5M, Spidy did $56M in three days after opening-Dark Knight; in 2 days... amazing. Loved it, give it 6 stars... yep!
By the way, I purchased 4 tickets Friday morning for a 11:20 am Saturday morning showing. It was in one of those theaters that has 30 screens. They had 15 of them showing The Dark Knight, starting at 10 am through midnight... the ticket person told me that all shows were sold out for Friday and I was lucky to get 4 tics for Saturday morning.
