The Dark Knight arrives with tremendous hype (best superhero movie ever? posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives around all of it. But calling it the best superhero movie ever seems like faint praise, since a part of what makes all the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, along with a compelling vision--is who's bypasses the conventional fantasy element with the superhero genre and makes all of it terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City's new district attorney, faced with cleaning in the crime rings who have paralyzed the city. He enters an uneasy alliance while using young police lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who appears to trust only Gordon--and whom only Gordon seems to trust. They've created progress until a psychotic and deadly new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who offers the crime bosses a solution--kill the Batman. Further complicating matters is the fact that Dent is currently dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes turned along the chance to reprise her role), the longtime love of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne.
In his last completed role before his tragic death, Ledger is fantastic as the Joker, a volcanic, truly frightening force of evil. And the man sets a bad tone of the movie: the planet is often a dark, dangerous place where there are not any easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman also shine, but as good as Bale is, his character turns out rather bland in comparison (not uncommon for heroes facing more colorful villains). Director-cowriter Christopher Nolan (Memento) follows his critically acclaimed Batman Begins having an best of all sequel that sets itself besides notable superhero movies like Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man because of the sheer emotional impact and striking a feeling of realism--there aren't suspension-of-disbelief superpowers here. At 152 minutes, it is a shade too long, and too intense for kids. But for most movie fans--and not just superhero fans--The Dark Knight is really a film for that ages. --David Horiuchi

On the Blu-ray disc
The Dark Knight on Blu-ray is really a great home-theater showoff disc. The detail and colors are tremendous both in dark and bright scenes (the Gotham General scene is often a great example from the latter), and also the punishing Dolby TrueHD soundtrack makes all the house rattle. (After giving us only Dolby 5.1 in the number of big Blu-ray releases this fall, Warner came through with Dolby TrueHD about this one.) One in the most interesting elements of The Dark Knight was how certain scenes were shot in IMAX, and in the wedding you saw the film within an IMAX theater the film's aspect ratio would suddenly differ from standard 2.40:1 to some thrilling 1.43:1 that filled the screen six stories high. For the Blu-ray disc, director Christopher Nolan has somewhat re-created this experience by shifting his film from 2.40:1 aspect ratio (through most from the film) to 1.78:1 in the IMAX scenes. While the result just isn't as dramatic as it had been in theaters, it is still an eye-catching experience being watching the film over a widescreen TV with black bars with the top and bottom, then seeing the 1.78:1 scenes completely fill the screen. The primary bonus feature on disc 1 is "Gotham Uncovered: The Creation of your Scene," which can be 81 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage about the IMAX scenes, the Bat suit, Gotham Central, and others. You can watch the film and access these featurettes if the icon pops up, or you can simply watch them from the main menu. A welcome and unusual feature is always that along with English, French, and Spanish audio and subtitles, there's an audio-described option that allows the sight-impaired to experience the film as well.

Disc 2 has two 45-minute documentaries on Bat-gadgets and around the psychology of Batman, both in high definition. They combine movie clips, talking heads, and comic-book panels, but aren't the type of thing one needs to watch twice. More engaging are six eight-minute segments of Gotham Central, a faux-news program that offers some background to events in the movie, and also a number of trailers, poster art, and more. The BD-Live component on disc 1 is a whole lot more interesting than on some earlier Blu-ray discs, which could possibly be simply an issue with the content starting capture up with the technology. You can find three new picture-in-picture commentaries, by Jerry Robinson (creator in the Joker), DC Comics president Paul Levitz, and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.--he's a Batman fan who's made some movie and TV cameos), plus you can record your individual commentary and upload it for others to watch. There may also be three new featurettes ("Sound in the Batpod," "Harvey Dent's Theme," and "Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard") and a couple motion comics ("Mad Love," featuring Harley Quinn, and "The Shadow of Ra's Al Ghul"). No longer available could be the digital copy of the film (compatible with iTunes and Windows Media, standard definition, download code expires 12/9/09). --David Horiuchi
