was written by the director himself Christopher Nolan. This is why I don’t agree with the 4 star rating. In my opinion it should be 5.

However,…

Mysteries consume the ones who watch this film as to what is the actual story behind the scars? Or was the joker actually an unethical hero? And especially the most asked, what happened to Heath Ledger while playing this role? The Oscar winning actor died just 6 months before the world premier of the movie.
