Call me insane but I may be the only one who is not buying into the "Heath Ledger was brilliant as the Joker" hype. There's no denying his portrayal of the iconic Joker was by far creepy, visceral and convincing (sorry Jack Nicholson but your Joker was leaning more towards cheekiness) upstaged everyone including our hero, Batman. But for his death, would everyone be showering him with compliments had he still been alive? And all this talk of a post-humous Oscar...what a load of phish-phosh I say.
Having said all that, The Dark Knight was miles better than the mind-boggling Hancock, though slightly convulated that at times I felt Christopher Nolan (the director) was suffocating us the viewers with the various subplots (hence the two and a half hours duration). And, and..who would've thought Christian Bale would become the best unlikely superhero of this decade..can't wait for his portrayal as the infamous John Connor (Terminator 4)!
