Trivia:
The ferries used for the ferry scene in which a boat of convicts and citizens are forced to detonate a bomb in the other boat, the ferries depicted are CGI models of the Molinary-class of Staten Island Ferry. The Staten Island Ferry, which is run by the New York Department of Transportation, offers a free 25-minute ride across New York harbor from St. George in Staten Island to South Ferry in Manhattan. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the bank heist scene, where the robbers enter the bank, one grabs the police officer standing near the entrance, drags him to a counter, hits him in the back, which causes the cop to collapse. Apparently one hit to the back isn't enough, because later on in the scene, we see the hit on the back repeated. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Grumpy:
[before a bank heist] Three of a kind, let's do this.
Chuckles:
That's it, three guys?
Grumpy:
Two guys on the roof. Every guy gets a share. Five shares is plenty.
Chuckles:
Six shares, don't forget the guy who planned the job.
Grumpy:
He thinks he can sit it out and still take a slice? I know why they call him "The Joker."

I had the honor of watching TDK during a screening and was completely blown away! This isn't just the best Batman movie ever made, this is one of the best movie ever made. Everything in this film is excellent, not one piece of annoyance.
Bale marvels as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Ledger has made The Joker in to an iconic movie villain. His performance belongs there at the top with Hopkins Lecter. The Joker has finally been portrait properly on film, he has earned his place between the big boys in movie villandom. This is the true Joker every Batman fan knows, loves and fears. Ledger deserves any and every movie award known to man for this brilliant display.
Nolan has made his "I will always be remembered" movie, this is the crownjewel in his portfolio. Perfect directing, perfect story, perfect balance between action and drama, everything is perfect.
Even if you hate Batman, you will love this film. If you don't, then something beez wrongz with youz!
