"My secret agent between the Armani suits saw a super private session for The Dark Knight and came out drooling. It will be a great success, he guarantees, the gadgets ( especially the bat-bike, responsible for a acclaimed action sequence ) are crazy and Heath Leger might receive a deserved indication for his Joker, "a mixture of a fool/clown, schizophrenic, sadic and crazy. The guy delivered, got himself into the role and it's unrecognizable. There will be no other Joker after him." In one scene he repeats to Christian Bale's Batman a line from "Brokeback Mountain"(the guy probably confused himself here) "you complete me" - but "in a context of stalker, crazy, scary." Another scene with Ledger/Joker playing dead inside a body bag caused adverse reactions in the audience, for obvious reasons - it will possibly be cut. (I hope not...)
My "Bond" tells more about the somber epic of Chris Nolan:
"It's incredible to create something new and exciting, not only for it's history but in technical terms, nowadays. Many great scenes, impeccable effects. Music and sounds pretty loud, but helping the story. They have a Heart Beat they use in a sensational way (Remember the 2 note theme from the interview with Zimmer!), anticipating the next scene- a psychological trigger ala Jaws. (tan tan tan )
The cast is awesome, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman stealing scenes in which all are present. Maggie Gyllenhaal fantastic replacing Katie Holmes and Aaron Eckhart as a great surprise as the politician with a heart of gold whose personality changes after a horrible accident. Another good astonishment is Eric Roberts as the mobster he knows so well how to do. Christian Bale solid as ever, cool since Bruce Wayne is a rich playboy and Batman is the opposite. The film plays a lot with this duality, all the characters are complex, has ambiguities, very interesting and delicate here.
The humor/comedy is totally dark, the movie is very dark and, in this version, a little too long. But will blow us away."

I'm very confident that this review is legit. Let's celebrate, this is finally confirmation from people outside of the production that TDK will in fact be awesome!
EDIT: To those questioning its authenticity.
The reviewer is very well known in Brazil as a journalist and the news site that this was published on is a very reputable site. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that she would risk her reputation (and will likely be caught if it is a farce) and her career just to fool a couple of Batman fanboys.
Just imagine a 50 year old Brazilian woman, sitting at a computer, thinking, "Muahahaha, I bet I totally fooled those Batman fans!!!"
No, I don't think so.
Good find Phallic!
BTW: I wonder how that whole body-bag scene goes and why the Joker decides to be in it. Hmmm
