    Usually, a movie with 1,000 to 2,000 votes get's a rating that high. But I looked at the IMDB page and the film has 83,910 votes. This movie's rating has topped the previous Batman movies and even equals The Godfather. That's pretty damn high for a Batman movie.

    Shove what? An entirely arbitrary score based on popular vote which in no reflects the actual quality of the movie? Wow, you sure showed them!

    I felt it was better than The Dark Knight, but then I didn't like The Dark Knight.

    Still, it doesn't deserve to be on par with the Godfather.

    I was more of a fan of Batman Begins. The Joker in the Dark Knight didn't feel like The Joker, he felt more like Two-Face to be honest. There was none of the abstract craziness I've come to expect from the Joker, and most of the significant plotline was based around Two choices: choosing between two people, or choosing between two boats.

    I felt that they added the Joker in slightly more than they would have had Heath ledger not died, and seeing as I didn't like the Joker I always think about how I would have enjoyed it more had he not died.

    I didn't really think it was THAT good in all honestly. Batman Begins was better. The Dark Knight was much better.

    7 out of ten,maybe 8 would be a fair score for me.

    I rated it 10/10. TDK was a little better, BB has no chance.

    @Pwok21: Ledger put his own twist on The Joker. You see, I felt the 1989 Joker wasn't really crazy. Ledger's Joker was a good twist.

    Can't say it was a twist I liked to be honest, it isn't how I would imagine the Joker from reading the comics.

    Bane's twist worked for me, just not the Joker's.

    I get where your coming from but the Joker used in TDK was right. It was the exact Joker that could psychologically break Batman.

    I agree that he could 'break the Bat' but I just don't see that character as 'The Joker'.

    Yeah, I agree. the Joker Nicholson played was a Joker who stopped giving a shit. Ledger's Joker was truly cold and insane.

    I still haven't watched it because the premiere in my country is tomorrow but I know that the movie deserves the rating.
