Yep, excellent movie. I wish the first one (Batman Begins, not Burtons version) had stuck closer to Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, but both of them are better than anything that came before. Dark Knight isn't as much fun as some superhero movies, but Batman isn't supposed to be fun.
And yes, Heath Ledger's last performance is truly frightening, funny and fabulous all at the same time.
No, Frame, what they had was guys dressed up like wannabe Batmen getting murdered in awful ways. This is a very grim movie.
