This is easily my favorite movie of the summer. It may also be one of my favorite movies ever - I still need time to let it all settle. I've seen this movie three times as of this writing. I love it.I grew up with Batman. I read the old comics; I still buy Batman comics. And here's the thing - Batman and Joker were never funny, silly or childlike. They were always dark and scary. Truly disturbing stories. So, when I heard the movie was coming out I was skeptical that they could pull off the Batman I grew up with. They succeeded completely. It is an amazing film. It is dark and disturbing. Definitely not for everyone, especially young children.
This movie perfectly portrays the struggles the Dark Knight has to go through to bring Gotham out of the darkness. It also illustrates the dichotomy of how Batman seems to cause what he's trying to fight. Darkness creates darkness. It cannot create light.
