Man . . . as much as I thought Ledger nailed the Joker (magic trick scene was beatass), I thought Eckhart pulled off a freakin' great Harvey Two-Face. If this was the last Batman film, then I'd be a happy guy. It surpassed all the hype and really was a great film. I was NEVER a big fan of the Joker, minus a few of the comic book interpretations, but Ledger stood tall in this movie. I was afraid all the hype surrounding him was just due to his death, but that wasn't the case. The guy created a character that will go down in movie/comic history as the single best Joker ever in my opinion. The subtle things were the best. Like his telling and re-telling of how he became the way he was . . . . just like the Joker, never the same thing twice. And again, Bale, was dead-on.
