Definitely the best Batman movie ever, had a great story and great writing, and a joker who really served the character in the comic books well.
The one thing I would change if I could would be to go ahead and show the graphic bits and let it be R-rated. I think the MPAA tripped this movie up, like they trip up every action movie that wants to stay in the PG-13 slot.
After seeing The Dark Knight I asked everyone, "Why so serious?"

'Going Dark:' term derived from CIA operative lingo adapted to the singles dating scene to indicate the moment in a newly acquainted relationship when one party suddenly & seemingly inexplicably ceases all forms of communication with the other party following a period of consistent communication. This phase is typically succeeded by the first inception of the most commonly referenced, ego-soothing rationalization, "what if he/she got hit by a bus?!"
The 'going dark' phase can be temporary or permanent, is highly variable in duration and is not gender-specific. It can be activated interchangeably by either partner throughout the courtship & may put the relationship at risk of tit-for-tat syndrome. Lesser evolved partners are more prone to this hazard.
Experts suggest the best way to avoid 'Going Dark' is to maintain a healthy frequency of contact that leads to live dates, or to notify the partner of your discontinued interest by putting on your big boy/girl pants, or by simply looking both ways before crossing the street as to avoid any and all buses & other moving vehicles

When going to (or preferably crashing) a party, the Dark Brew is when one urinates into the water reservoir of the coffee maker, then places a fresh turd in the coffee basket. The offender then sets the automatic brew to go off at 6 AM (or any other suitable time).
"I just piss and shit in that fucker's coffee machine. He's in for a real Dark Brew tomorrow morning."
