There has been so much hype regarding the latest offering in the Batman franchise that my curiosity has got the better of me, and this afternoon we are going to see it.

There has been much talk about the mezmerising performance by Heath Ledger as The Joker, it has been said by many that it is an oscar winning performance. It has been said that it is a performance that will be etched in your mind for many days, whether tis nis true or just hype is yet to be seen.

The movie has a 12A cert, but in one review I heard on the radio it is too violent for young children and should be a 15cert, indeed, one reviewer said this does not have the feel of a standard superhero movie, but is more like a dark horror film.

I will let you know my views later.

OK, up date. Just got back from the cinema, and I have to say to my surprie it lived up to the hype. I will say it is the best of all the batman films, including the Keaton / Kilmer / Cluney and the last Christian Bale movie, batman begins. I will even go as far as to say, it is one of the best films i have seen for a long time.

That said however, Michael Keaton is still the best bat man in my opinion.

As for Heath ledger, that was one truly mezmerizing performance. His loss is a massive blow to the movie world.

If you have'nt seen it I urge you to do so. You will not be disapointed.
