Some Dark Knight reviews I agree with - no spoilers.
Five stars, guys. Seriously. Here's a buncha reviews I found on Rotten Tomatoes that sum it up better than I can:
“It’s a movie about America, terrorism and the rule of law; about heroism and human nature. The dude in the bat suit is just window-dressing.”
Eugene Novikov
Film Blather
Do not go gently into The Dark Knight. It's an electrifying, thought-provoking meditation on the modern wages of fear. And you haven't danced with the devil by the pale moonlight until Heath Ledger has taken your psyche for a twirl.
Nick Rogers
State Journal-Register
Ledger's mesmerizingly damaged agent provocateur is the film's dark heart, a presence so malevolently unpredictable that it remains palpable even when he's not on screen.
Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide’s Movie Guide
Nolan paints an inky portrait of a city falling apart, and in a movie rife with two-faced masquerading freaks, the Joker is merely the least conflicted of the bunch. Ledger's work is improbably droll, impossibly creepy, meticulously detailed.
Michael Phillips

Iron Man and even more so The Dark Knight move the genre into deeper waters. They realize, as some comic-book readers instinctively do, that these stories touch on deep fears, traumas, fantasies and hopes.
