Totally agree - Dark Knight was VERY dark!
Heath was outstanding. A truly menacing, twisted, unpredictable & relentlessly evil Joker compared to Jack Nicholson's camped up psychotic clown.
I also liked the reference to Jerry Maguire
On another note...
I thought I bumped into the ghost of Heath Ledger a couple of months ago at work!
He looked exactly like him!
Turns out they were shooting The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus in Vancouver & he was Heath's double!
I'm looking forward to that one too...
I like Terry Gilliam & the cast is intriguing. (Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Tom Waits, Jude Law, Christopher Plumber & even mini-me Verne Troyer)
