Batman - The Dark Knight trailer

Simply excellent!  The movie has got all the things you want.  Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.

Christian Bale IS Bruce Wayne the Batman, I would say that he's the best Batman of all.  I still remember seeing the Giorgio Armani ad which says Bruce Wayne instead of Bale.  Heath Ledger's Joker is also simply amazing.  He played the sadistic criminal mastermind is disturbing and scary and he blows every audience away.  The movie is about Batman as well as the Joker.. maybe even more of Joker as Heath can no longer play it, or anything else.  It's really really very sad that the brilliant young actor died so young.
