Thick with rich dramatics, daring performances and a few knockout scenes of action gusto, The Dark Knight strives to not only one-up its precursor, but also lay down a measuring stick of quality for the rest of Hollywood to live up to. 



The casting will no doubt have a lot to do with the strong reaction to the picture. Heath Ledger's sad passing gives his fearless performance - and in effect, the movie - a sense of importance that is hard to counter. For his part, the talented performer gives a full-on show each time he is on the screen. His approach to this anarchist [embodiment] of The Joker is something truly special to behold and easily one of the boldest portrayals in comic-to-screen history. 



Take him away and there's still plenty of A-game being brought to the screen, thanks to the talents of Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhall, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Aaron Eckhart, whose solid performance as Harvey Dent makes up the tragic [backbone] of the film. 



For his part, Christian Bale does a fine job at [embodying] the lonesome hero of his city; even if he persists in giving Batman's voice the same guttural growl that hurt his performance the first time around. Thankfully, the costume has been given an overhaul to address a bit of the "rubber suit" issues that have plagued the franchise since its Tim Burton days.
