The Dark Knight arrives with tremendous hype (best superhero movie ever? posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives as much as all of it. But calling it the best superhero movie ever looks like faint praise, since a part of what helps make the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, along with a compelling vision--is which it bypasses the conventional fantasy element of the superhero genre and makes all this terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City's new district attorney, arrested for cleaning the crime rings which have paralyzed the city. He enters an uneasy alliance with all the young police lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who generally seems to trust only Gordon--and whom only Gordon appears to trust. They generate progress until a psychotic and deadly new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who provides the crime bosses a solution--kill the Batman. Further complicating matters is Dent is currently dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes turned on 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 since the Joker, a volcanic, truly frightening force of evil. And he sets the tone from the movie: the planet can be a dark, dangerous place high are no easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman also shine, but just like 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 with the better still sequel that sets itself aside from 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's a shade too long, and it's really way too intense for kids. But for most movie fans--and not just superhero fans--The Dark Knight can be a film to the ages. --David Horiuchi

On the Blu-ray disc
The Dark Knight on Blu-ray can be a great home-theater showoff disc. The detail and colours are tremendous in dark and bright scenes (the Gotham General scene can be a great example of the latter), and also the punishing Dolby TrueHD soundtrack makes all the house rattle. (After giving us only Dolby 5.1 in the amount of big Blu-ray releases this fall, Warner came through with Dolby TrueHD for this one.) One with the most interesting aspects of The Dark Knight was how certain scenes were shot in IMAX, and should you saw the movie within an IMAX theater the film's aspect ratio would suddenly change from standard 2.40:1 to your 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 in the film) to 1.78:1 in the IMAX scenes. While the effects is not as dramatic as it had been in theaters, it is still an eye-catching experience to be watching the film over a widescreen TV with black bars in the top and bottom, then seeing the 1.78:1 scenes completely fill the screen. The key bonus feature on disc 1 is "Gotham Uncovered: The Creation of an Scene," which is 81 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage concerning the IMAX scenes, the Bat suit, Gotham Central, and others. You can watch the film and access these featurettes in the big event the icon pops up, or it can be done to simply watch them from the main menu. A welcome and unusual feature is always that in addition to English, French, and Spanish audio and subtitles, there's an audio-described option that enables the sight-impaired to go through 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 form of thing one needs to view twice. More engaging are six eight-minute segments of Gotham Central, a faux-news program that provides some background to events inside movie, and also a selection of trailers, poster art, and more. The BD-Live component on disc 1 is a great deal more interesting than on some earlier Blu-ray discs, which could possibly be simply a question of the content starting to hook up with all 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 own commentary and upload it for some individuals to watch. There may also be three new featurettes ("Sound with 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 may be the digital copy with the film (compatible with iTunes and Windows Media, standard definition, download code expires 12/9/09). --David Horiuchi
