Trivia:
While filming both the bank and Police Department scenes at the Post Office, an unrelated fire broke out in a top floor mechanical room and many onlookers believed that the smoke and fire was related to the filming. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Batman is interrogating The Joker, we can see The Joker's suspenders on his left shoulder. The scene cuts to Batman, then in the next shot of the Joker from the same angle the suspender is back under his vest and can no longer be seen. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Grumpy: [before a bank heist] Three of a kind, let's do this.
Chuckles: That's it, three guys?
Grumpy: And two guys on the roof. Everybody gets a share. Five shares is plenty.
Chuckles: Six shares, don't forget the guy who planned the job.
Grumpy: He thinks he can sit out and still take a slice? I know why they call him the "Joker."

I had the honor of watching TDK during a screening and was completely blown away! This isn't just the best Batman movie ever made, this is one of the best movie ever made. Everything in this film is excellent, not one piece of annoyance.
Bale marvels as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Ledger has made The Joker in to an iconic movie villain. His performance belongs there at the top with Hopkins Lecter. The Joker has finally been portrait properly on film, he has earned his place between the big boys in movie villandom. This is the true Joker every Batman fan knows, loves and fears. Ledger deserves any and every movie award known to man for this brilliant display.
Nolan has made his "I will always be remembered" movie, this is the crownjewel in his portfolio. Perfect directing, perfect story, perfect balance between action and drama, everything is perfect.
Even if you hate Batman, you will love this film. If you don't, then something beez wrongz with youz!
