The Dark Knight

(Warner Bros.)

Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger

This eagerly awaited superhero flick gives Iron Man a run for its money. Bale portrays

a vulnerable Batman, while Ledger gives the performance of a lifetime as the sadistic and insane Joker. His laugh is spine-tingling, while his demeanor is both captivating and off-putting. You’ll leave wanting more of the madman and hoping for another action-packed sequel.
