It only took 40 some odd years, but Cesar has finally been dethroned.  It’s just a shame we’ll never see this new Joker again.

I actually went into the Dark Knight flick thinking there was no way it could live up to the hype thats been building up over both the movie itself and Ledger’s performance.  Stuff like “on par with the Godfather”, “as good a sequel as Empire Strikes Back”, and “Oscar worthy performance”.  After seeing it however, all those statements don’t seem quite so far fetched.

It really is an awesome movie and Ledger’s Joker almost single handedly makes it so.  Ledger was to the Joker what Daniel Day-Lewis was to Daniel Plainview.

I’m not yet ready to say I liked it better than Iron Man, but I’m having a hard time saying I didn’t.
