Heath Ledger's Joker keeps changing the social register of an encounter, mixing apparent clumsiness, insinuation and sudden purpose. The Dark Knight makes that disruption a problem for police, organised crime and Batman at once, which is why this superhero film belongs in a crime selection. The performance is the attraction; the schemes are cruel tests imposed on other people, rather than persuasive moral instruction. Expect intense threat and a substantial, crowded story around the confrontations.
