I'm not a DC Comics fan, but I went to see The Dark Knight over the weekend. I heard a lot of things about it, how good it was and about some parallels it contained to our (the U.S.) current government.

I didn't care much for the ending, but that may be resolved in another in another film. The highlight for me was the performance of Heath Ledger as The Joker. So even if you're not a Batman fan like me, you'll like this film. It's dark and scary, but very entertaining and engrossing.
