There's a big buzz going on about The Dark Knight, which is the sequel to Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale, the late Heath Ledger, Harry Potter's Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.
In Dark Knight, Batman (Christian Bale) faces his archenemy, the Joker (Heath Ledger), who is causing chaos across Gotham City.
The Joker is a grotesque fictional comic character who looks like a clown, and (according to Wikipedia) is a master criminal and psychopath who "commits crimes and murders people for his own amusement". He has been rated the greatest villain of all time.
The Joker has been featured in several previous Batman films. (A brief history of the Joker)
Jack Nicholson played the Joker in the Batman 1989 film.
According to NEWSWEEK, the dilemma in Dark Knight is whether the protagonist should play the same unfair "without rules" game as his foe while fighting him.
"[The Dark Knight] is not a typical comic book movie"... it is rated PG-13, but many are saying that the movie is not for young kids because of its "violent and disturbing" scenes. Some recommend it for kids aged 14 or older and others for kids 12 or older. (Read an article at Yahoo! Kids)
There is also a controversy going on over whether Heath Ledger should win an Oscar or not. (Read an article)
