    The story didnt really work for me. Sorry.

    U need a very bright TV to watch this. It was too film noir ish. Maybe I need a new tv but the fact that even tho my tv was set at its brightest it was hard to see wot was happening. It went on to long, tho amazing acting from the Joker and batman, why do they keep and why cant they explain that in every batman film batman is different. I find it hard to piece together and know where all the films are suppose to be set in the trail of the batman saga. I thought the joker was dead. So many things were not even approached. And its just an excuse to make a film that has no begining and no real end. As for stating this is the best film of 2008 well i find it hard to believe. Apart from the acting esp from the joker, the story didnt really work for me. Sorry.

The couple, which wed in Italy in May (09), performed together in the Chekhov play earlier this year (09). And Gyllenhaal insists mixing her home life with work strengthened their bond - because they were so turned on by each other's work ethic. The Dark Knight actress explains, "I could see how it would be awful... Read more
