Around the Web

  • An ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity, this is seriously brainy pop entertainment that satisfies every expectation raised by its hit predecessor and then some.
    Justin Chang on Variety
  • “Batman” isn’t a comic book anymore. Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” is a haunted film that leaps beyond its origins and becomes an engrossing tragedy.
    Roger Ebert on Roger Ebert
  • I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker.
    Peter Travers on Rolling Stone
