I saw a few of the TV episodes a long, long time ago, but that's it. Dark Knight was - i guess - the second best Batman film, as the ones previous to Batman Begins.. sucked. I just wanted to see an enjoyable film.. and to me, it just wasn't that much fun :( I’m not a huge comic fan, so I’ve completely missed out on anything relating to that.

Finally someone gets the character right, and not just Batman, but Lucius Fox, Harvey Dent, Alfred, Joker and (particularly) Gordon. Spot on. The best Batman stories have always been the police procedurals, the ones where we see how a city copes with something as stupid as a man in a bat costume running around (Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, The Long Halloween), and this did it perfectly. Surely you wouldn't argue that any of the Burton/Schumaker's were any better than this? I’m not going to get into this one, except to say: “WRONG, WRONG, WRONG”.
