Synopsis (with some info from Warnerbros Batman).
The Dark Knight is another movie series of the successful DC comics of the action hero, Batman.
One on hand, there is Batman (Christian Bale), who together with the help of Liutenent Jim Gordon & District Attorney Harvey Dent, who plans to make a crime free city. However, on the other end is Batman's old faithful, enemy, the Joker (Heath Ledger), a rather crazy character who 'is not so serious' and likes to create havoc & trouble, for the sake of pure fun.
The battle between the 2 builds up with both sides seems at times to be winning only to loose it in the end.
Why You Should Watch This Movie
If you are a Batman fan, you would most likely have watched this movie. Even non fans will be quite pleasantly surprised that this movie has turned out to be one of the better Batman movies of all time.
But the real winner here is not Batman , but the Batman villain - who else, but the Joker, or for that matter - the award nominee Heath Ledger. His superb acting as the crazy & care-fee Joker steals the show, and truly Batman is more like in the dark shadows than being the Dark Knight.
From the crazy laughs to when he gets real serious, the late Heath acted like a true talent.
Hong Kong is also a winner here in a way when Batmand does a 'stopover' to the Chinese city.
As for gadgets wise, this Batmans has a fair bit, especially on his Batman suit & also the Batman vehicle - a rather futuristic motorbike that only superheroes use.
Why Not
The only setback in the movie is that as the many other super heroes, it is a lil fictional that the authorities don't know who Batman is. And in this Batman movie, the Dark Knight seems to have a weird computerised voice (did the other movies have it?).
Conclusion & Movie Rating
From 1960s to today, the Batman has reformed itself. If you are into action packed movies, a dose of fiction (or a lot depending on how you see it), like good acting and love Hollywood blockbusters, then head to the theaters now.
4 stars.

Personally, even though i'm impressed by Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, i still love Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman (1989) :)
Anyway, i've always been a big fan of Jack Nicholson :)
i still prefer Iron Man to The Dark Knight. Iron Man more fun to watch lah.
