Everyone has been talking about this movie since it came out on the big screen. Is it really the best flick to see this summer? According to a lot of people it is, but I want to hear your opinions on it.

I though that joker was the best thing in it. I laughed at almost all his jokes and I like his way of thinking. I felt that people saw the movie to because of ledger's death and that because of his death the movie gained a lot of advertisement. It isn't a bad thing, but I wonder if the movie would have gain the money it did if he was still alive.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow

The film begins with the Joker robbing a mob-owned bank with his accomplices, whom he tricks into killing each other before killing the last one himself. That night, a trio of Batman impersonators interrupts a meeting between mobsters and the Scarecrow. The real Batman appears and apprehends all of the criminals and impostors, but suffers injuries from dog bites, leading him to re-design his batsuit. Batman and Lieutenant James Gordon contemplate including new district attorney Harvey Dent in their plan to eradicate the mob, as he could be the public hero Batman cannot be. Bruce Wayne discovers the new D.A. is dating Rachel Dawes and chooses to host a fund raiser for Dent. When mob bosses meet to discuss Batman, Gordon, and Dent, a Chinese mobster accountant, Lau, informs the gang leaders he has hidden their money to pre-empt a plan Gordon has hatched to seize the mobsters' funds. The Joker arrives unexpectedly, offering to kill Batman for half of their money, but the offer is refused. After Batman abducts Lau in Hong Kong and delivers him to the Gotham City police, the mobsters agree to hire the Joker. The Joker tells Gotham that if Batman does not turn himself in to police and publicly reveal his identity, people will die each day. When Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and the judge presiding over the mob trials are murdered, Bruce decides to reveal his identity. Before he can, Dent announces that he himself is Batman and is arrested as part of a plan to draw the Joker out of hiding. The Joker attempts to ambush the police convoy carrying Dent, but Batman and Gordon intervene and arrest him; in recognition of his actions, Gordon is appointed police commissioner. At the police station, Batman interrogates the Joker, who reveals that Dawes and Dent have been captured by corrupt police and placed in warehouses rigged with explosives on opposite sides of the city; they are far enough apart that Batman cannot save them both. Batman leaves to save Dawes, while Gordon and the police head after Dent. With the help of a bomb planted at the police station, the Joker escapes with Lau. Having been deceived by the Joker, who gave him reversed addresses, Batman arrives at Dent's location in time to save him, but the left side of Dent's face is burned in the explosion. Gordon does not arrive in time to save Dawes and she perishes. In the hospital, Dent is driven to madness over the loss of Dawes. The Joker frees Dent from the hospital and persuades Dent to exact revenge on the corrupt cops and mobsters responsible, as well as Batman and Gordon. Dent, calling himself "Two-Face," goes on a personal vendetta confronting the cops and mobsters one by one, and deciding their fates with the flip of a coin. The Joker burns Lau along with his half of the mob's money, and announces to the public that anyone left in Gotham at nightfall will be subject to his rule. With the bridges and tunnels out of the city closed due to the Joker's bomb threat, authorities begin evacuating people by ferry. The Joker places explosives on two of the ferries—one ferry with convicts, the other with civilians—telling all the passengers the only way to save themselves is to trigger the explosives on the other ferry; otherwise he will destroy both at midnight. Batman locates the Joker and prevents him from destroying the ferries after the passengers on both decide not to destroy each other. The Joker acknowledges that Batman is truly incorruptible, but that Dent was not, and his madness has been unleashed upon the city. After Batman subdues the Joker and leaves in search of Dent, the SWAT team arrives and arrests the Joker. At the remains of the building where Dawes died, Batman finds Dent holding Gordon and his family at gunpoint. Dent judges the innocence of Batman, himself, and Gordon's son through coin tosses. He shoots Batman in the abdomen, but before Dent can determine the boy's fate, Batman tackles him, and they both fall over the side of the building. Dent appears dead, and Batman and Gordon realize the loss of morale the city would suffer if Dent's murders became known. Batman persuades Gordon to preserve Dent's image by holding Batman responsible for the murders. Gordon destroys the Bat-Signal, and a manhunt for Batman ensues.

Spoilers end here

Well truthfully it was a great movie, maybe not the best, but good. The Joker was amazing in it, I loved him, I love how he plays sort of a BAtman counterpart. How it's what would have happened to Bruce if one chouce was made wrong. The Joker is Bruce in a way. Well anyways I loved it.

Joker was some of the best acting I've seen in a long time. Spectacular even though acting is improved by cameras and such, that is not easily replicated. Its a sad thing that Heath Ledger (played Joker) died. Good actor.

However, Pineapple Express will probably take the medal due to the larger audience for Comedy. However, I think Dark Knight will be a close second.

The Movie Was Great.The Joker Was Amazing In Every Way Possible .The Move In My Eyes Was One Of The Best Movies So Far In The Year 08 And It Is Worth Going To See

Actually no Fang, Pineapple Express didn't have nearly as much audience the opening week as The Dark knight had. Pineapple Express was good, but I feel The Dark Knight was much better. All opinion I suppose, but in the Box Office The Dark Knight was better.

I have yet to see Pineapple Express. No one around my town even seem intrested in it. Everyone been talking about the Dark Knight. Man even on the internet, I seen every kid trying to be the joker.

Dark Knight managed to fit in more than one antagonist without the story feeling rushed or overly dramatic like what happened to Spiderman3. Spiderman is my favorite comic hero, but the movie writer could learn something from this movie.

Joker stole the show.

Yeah Dark Knight had three villians in it like spiderman. I just wish scarecrow had a bigger part in it, but he might have taken to much screentime away from joker.

In the 1st Batman movie, Scarcrow rides off on his demon horse after being tasered in his face lmao

Anyway, Batman never catches him, so they tied up that loose-end nicely in Dark Knight.

Rofl nice.

Yeah, I was wondering what happen to that scarecrow guy. Anyways speaking of Batman when the game came out for the first one it sucked eggs, but they are making a new one on the mental institution all the bad guys go to. According to the previews and the reviews .. its going to be a huge hit.
Riddler is in it .. so all I think of is jim carrey.

Two Face's face looked so real
Joker looked funny in the nurse costume xD
and i kinda agree that the film wouldn't have still gained the money that it did even if Ledger was alive but yeah his death probably did 'advertise' the film more since people could have wanted to see his last performance but it probably would have still gained a lot since it was highly anticipated....
Joker was awesome in this

My Bawls Bish.... J.K dat muv.E owned

i dont this the first time a villan like the joker has so many fans
everybody i met who watched the movie say he was the best
