GOOD gravy, if Christian Bale growls any deeper for Bruce Wayne’s disturbed little crime fighter, he’s going to need larynx surgery pronto.
But that’s the worst thing about Christopher Nolen’s second and pulsating Bat-effort, which is otherwise quite the sensory feast.
And if you didn’t hear how superb poor old Heath Ledger is as the Joker then welcome out of your coma – Heather Ledger is exceptional in one of the greatest villain performances you’ll see this side of some fava beans and a nice chianti.
It’s a shame to see Two-Face depart rapidly, and Bale’s aforementioned voice is preposterous, but otherwise Dark Knight is a rollicking bag of thrills.
