After returning from my second viewing of TDK I will officially confirm that it is easily the great comic book movie I have ever seen. Not only that, but literally one of the greatest movies I have ever seen, period. Ledger's performance as The Joker was nothing short of amazing. Chris Nolan just really raised the bar not only for comic book movies, but he has also set a new standard for summer blockbusters in general.
I just got home after seeing it in IMAX...wow! Watching it on that screen is like looking through a panoramic window. The whole movie was electric! The Hong Kong scene was incredible, and so was the chase through the underpass. The bit where the bat-bike shoots off = woah, and the bit where he plays chicken with the Joker = woah, too.
I can't wait to see where Nolan takes it from here...
