What I love the most about this film is that it really feels like the perfect interpretation of Batman in a real world setting. Batman Begins was still a bit silly, so this was really the film that brought Nolan's vision of a real life Batman to life in a truly succesful way.
And then of course, there's the Joker. There's nothing I can say about Heath Ledger's performance in this movie that hasn't been said already. He's arguably the best live action Joker and he's what makes this movie what it is. This is his movie.
There's some weird editing at times and the dialogue isn't very good, so I can't say it deserves to be in so many "Best Movies of All Time" lists (this is the same movie where a SWAT agent yells "I didn't sign up for this!"). I guess it's a bit overrated in that regard, but it's still Nolan's best movie, Batman's best movie (although Batman Returns is still my favorite) and it's just really fun to watch.
