I went to the midnight showing of Batman on Thursday/Friday, so I'm one of the lucky nerds who got to try to spoil it for others (I came out of the movie at the end saying "Wow! I can't believe that The Joker was Bruce Wayne's Father!")
Anyways, I've seen a lot of movies, probably best if I don't comment on all of them but Ido have this to say. The Joker is quite possibly one of the most horrifying villains I have ever seen. I am putting him just above Hannibal Lector. Those of you who know about the Joker and Batman's chemistry will totally understand what is going on with the two, but those of you who aren't big Batman fans, the Joker may seriously disturb you.
The Joker is in love with Social Psychology, he's the kind of guy that will stand on a corner looking up at something that doesn't exist just to see if others will follow suit... of course he will do something with those people afterwards, but that's because he's a bad guy.
I think that most of us should treat Dark Knight as though it were a rated R movie. If you aren't kosher with seeing stuff that would be in an R Rating, you probably don't want to see Dark Knight. There are a lot of morally strong moments in the movie, but with the Heath's monstrous performance it may be a bit too intense for many viewers.
