I want to see this so bad, I gotta convince the wifey for tonight. The reviews all giving The Dark Knight a thumbs up and even Rotten Tomatoes is giving this a 94%. I was pretty much sold when I saw the 6 minute trailer.

Real talk, I loved the first Batman with Jack Nicholson as Joker. We’ll see if Heath Ledger can live up to the Joker role.
