Indy, The Hulk and Iron Man may have filled multiplexes nationwide, but 2008 has been claimed by a mutilated, murderous psychopath. Heath Ledger’s Joker cuts a nightmarish figure, all facial tics and maniacal cackles, who gleefully makes off with every scene he’s in. The best performance, of the best film of the summer. Go see.
