blog.wired.com — The summer's last superhero movie is also its best. Kicked off with a head-rattling heist and clown-masked brutality, The Dark Knight thrills as a comic book adaptation for grown-ups. Unlike its well-respected 2005 predecessor, Batman Begins, this sequel is pushed beyond the confines of a well-made action drama by director Christopher Nolan.

The combo breaker was funny.

I just got back from the movie. I had a great time. I saw it in Imax only because I thought it would be interesting to see the first major motion picture to have portions filmed in Imax. It takes your breath away. The opening scene is in Imax and I wasn't prepared for it and neither were other people in the theater, it made everyone gasp. Everyone was great in this movie, there wasn't a slow spot to be had. Ledger was great as the joker, he's how the Joker was envisioned to be, insane with a touch of humor. I would probably wait a few days or see it in the afternoon though. Some idiots had been waiting in line since 7 in the morning. Everyone got a seat and every seat was good, some people are just retarded.

It's too bad that dumbass OD'd, I woulda liked to have seen him in the next movie, whenever that comes out. He played the Joker in an interesting way.

I got home from it about an hour ago, and I wish my theater was open 24/7 so I could go see it again.It's so absolutely amazing.

The Dark Knight was amazing! I saw it last night,and it did not disappoint, as a matter of fact, the way they worked in the Joker/Two-Face story line was amazing! Oh, and *quasi-spoiler alert* was i the only one that thought the opening scene was a homage to the movie "Heat"?

No, I think Nolan and Bale have said that that scene is an homage to it.
