Guess Who?

I realized something... I used to be a utter fan of DC Comics, my favorites, of course, was Batman. I loved his dark looking suit but,,, most of all,,, I loved The Joker. He always fascinated me. Always. His twisted and evil actions/characteristics were so original and brilliant.
So, when I took Freya (I'll expound more on her once I have finished this post) and my younger sister, Annie, to see The Dark Knight in Cinema, I was expecting a low-budget and lame-ass performance from Christian Bale/Maggie Gyllenhaal, but I wasn't quite sure on Heath Ledger playing "The Joker." I mean, I have never seen him play in a role like that, so I was unsure of how good it would be.
When we sat down, I braced myself to endure 2 hours of muddled shit (just like Batman Begins was), but, as it progressed, I started to enjoy it.
At the end, holy shit, I was so so surprised. I was lost for words. The Joker was unbelievable. He was way to great a villain for such a film. The rest of it was quite stupid, but his role... 10/10

I don't think I have ever seen a better villain ever! (Except... For, well, um, King Kong or something...)
