Elmo....been meaning to ask...

Is English your first language? Not trying to be mean but...wow, it's like I need a codebook to understand what you're saying sometimes.

Also : I agree with the main thrust of Hellstromm's post. It does seem (like with everybody hyping JJ Abrams' potential Star Trek to the extent of deriding the sixties series) that with the release of The Dark Knight, history is being revised to mock all that came before.

Was The Dark Knight a good movie? Yes. Was it better than Batman Begins, Batman and Robin, Batman Forever and Batman Returns? Yes. Better than 1989's Batman? No. At least not in my view but to be less biased....

1) TDK could have used a better editor. There was alot of shit in that movie that could have been done away with and made the film a much tighter performance piece.

2) Christian Bale has alot to learn about making his voice sound different BUT still being intelligible.

3) Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson both gave two great performances as two different versions of the Joker. Relax, people. You're doing no disrespect to Ledger's memory if you recognize Nicholson's performance, as well. Plus, also stop acting like they can no longer use The Joker character because of his death. It's a character. There can be different actors portraying him.
