It's been a bit safer on Gotham's streets, criminals are running scared ever since the Batman dawned on his cape. When a rise in crime is orchestrated by a new criminal named the Joker, Batman must fight for his life and for everything he's tried to save in Gotham's peacekeeping. The Joker won't stop until he's turned the citizens against each other, made a mockery of the new noble district attorney Harvey Dent and revealed the true identity of the Batman for the world to see. It's a fight for Gotham City's soul and a classic tale of good versus evil and order versus chaos.
May be the most hopeless, despairing comic-book movie in memory. It creates a world where being a superhero is at best a double-edged sword and no triumph is likely to be anything ...
Enthralling...An ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity, this is seriously brainy pop entertainment that satisfies every expectation raised by i...
Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, it goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind.

Joker: (after Rachel hits him) A little fight in ya. I like that.
Batman: Then you're going to love me.
Joker: Want to know how I got these scars? My father was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not one bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and says, "Why so serious?" He comes at me with the knife. "Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth. "Let's put a smile on that face." And....Why so serious?
