I'm always right. 
Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Just from the trailer, you can tell that Ledger nailed the part. There is one scene where he is walking in a bank or something, and licks his hand and runs it though his hair... he just looks like a damn psycho there without having to utter a word. I'll go see the movie at some point soon, but I'm not someone who has to see that stuff the day, or week, they are released.

Heath Ledger-- humbug
Jack Nicholson -- humbug
The greatest Joker was clearly Cesar Romero.

For those that have seen it, is it ok for a 12 and 8 year old to see?

Yes, it is so edited that they even had a pause in the movie for a "GD" word.
It is very tame with no gore!!!

Yes for a 12 year-old, but I would honestly watch it first before I let an 8 year-old see it.

Ok, I agree w/ you. The movie was freakin' fantastic. I saw it at the IMAX (first movie I've seen there) and at one point, I felt a little queasy like I was falling between the buildings. Awesome!

It was heavy on the violence. I would use caution in making that decision.

Holy box office, Batman!
"The Dark Knight" became the highest single-day grossing movie in Hollywood history, collecting a staggering $66.4 million in its first 24 hours of release, Warner Bros. said Saturday.
The much-anticipated flick, co-starring the late Heath Ledger as a particularly psychotic Joker, soared past the old one-day mark of $59.8 million set last year by "Spider-Man 3."
"Ledger was wonderful," said Belkys Padilla, 42, after seeing the movie in Manhattan. "It was so action filled. Every part of the movie was great."
