Rated Movie 10/10

The Best CBM Ever IMO. I'm not sure it will ever be topped or at least based On The Majority Consensus, I think theres a strong possibility that in 30 years from right now, The Dark Knight will still be Considered the Best CBM ever just like it is right now.

Heath Ledger's Take on The Joker is one of the very best acting performances of all time, and probably the greatest villain in Movie history.(IMO Hopkins as Hannibal Lector in SOTL and Ledger's Joker are the 2 best ever)
