Just back in from seeing The Dark Knight. Which came across as a cross between The Killing Joke and Saw.
Heath Ledger was genuinely scary, in a way that no other Joker has been (Jack Nicholson was amazing, but he never actually scared me). Aaron Eckhart was fantastic, and everyone was at least very good, with the sad exception of Maggie Gyllenhaal, who wasn't as good as Katie Holmes - which is a shame, as I generally love her.
I definiutely preferred it to Batman Begins, which I liked, but didn't quite gel for me. Go see!

Excellent film all-round. And I was so glad to see The Scarecrow in there again, he was fab.
