The Dark Knight: Review By J.A.Ottley.Writer / Director

It began with a V.O Trailer, the sought of trailer that had been dead for ages, no one knew what the hell it was until, the bat signal silhoutteed the screen. And out would come the line that would preceed the doubt that everyone thought, that Heath Ledger wasn't the man for the role to reincarnate the Joker from the shoes of Nicholsan. Well starting that night he proved everyone wrong.

Blasting straight off from Begins and continuing the conclusion that Begins created we see the epical rise of the Joker and his notorious reign of anarchy upon Gotham City.

As Batman continues his dark vigilante mission in the night, from facing off the police officers dressed up as Batman and the scarecrow realising that's not Batman due to his rules before he gets brutally crushed under a ford transit.

The Joker's rise begins with a twisted bank robbery pulling all the strings and having his accomplices take one another out, based upon an origin of Hush, another realistic Batman villain plausible to work in Nolan's universe.

As Joker causes his accomplices to turn their guns on each other and taking them out as well by betrayal.

The intro that leaked the net also stripped the Joker of his origins as a criminal that wears war paint that is truly psychotic of myothomosis on wanting people to know how he got his scars

Then hope comes in the name of Harvey Dent, the new D.A of Gotham, who can take on the city with no mask, a cape and some kevlar armour.

Harvey Dent, a character scrapped from Begins, is so humane we get to see his struggle, rise, anger, downfall and ultimately his death providing the whole moral message of the film as both villains win this game.

As the Joker plays his games of anarchy, chaos and life choice decisions without any plans upon Gotham city by also controlling the mob because he is stealing their money from banks.

As the film continues and portrays Nolans dark universe bringing the comic ultimately to life.

We see Batman/Bruce Wayne & Harvey Dent ultimately lose the thing they hold dear to them, in a twisted scheme by Joker. As one rise up to the challenge and the other ultimately falls like a puppet on strings held by the Joker.

Dent has become Two-Face, a nickname given to him by a police department. As Joker puts more people in danger,a complete hospital just to see Dent and use a bit of psychology on him to vbring out the evil that always was inside Dent. Hellbent on revenge, Twoface starts taking out the people of the mob involved in Rachel's death.

Only leading to the capture of Joker, and the death of Dent

Bending the rules for all the characters, and showing that even the greatest men can fall in the hand of temptation and corruption, everyone except Batman.

As Dent falls to the corruption and the light of the White Knight is diminshed, and Batman breaks his only rule.

The film can only end with Batman as a vigilante leaing to an opening/closed ending for a sequel to die for but one hard to top.

With a perfected recreation of a clasic graphic novel "The Long Halloween," Christopher & Johnathan Nolan along side David Goyer and Heath Ledger have created the most darkest Batman film ever to grace our screen, with spectacular performed villains.

Despite the film is 30 minutes too long which makes it feel slightly dragged and suspenseful, for a showdown and creating more character development.

And an annoying voiced Batman that sounds like he is struggling to take a dump in his Bat-suit everytime he talks.

And finally of course a few references to other villains such as Catwoman & Riddler. And 2 continuity errors

None least to say the Dark Knight is ultimately one of the best films out there, and as one of the most grossing movies of all time, with imaginary violence, a psychotic performance, a dark story and setting with a suicide that emblazed and immortalised the star of the show in glory. This just goes to show that Warner Bros, Legendary Pictures, The Nolan Brothers and David Goyer were truly ahead of the curve when tackling comic to film adaptations.
