I saw this movie with my wife yesterday and we both really enjoyed it. I'm not too familiar with the comic books, but I do know that in the series the Joker is a more mysterious figure and often gives conflicting stories regarding his past. That's the exact Joker you get in this movie.

In the first Batman film you knew who the Joker was and how he became the Joker. In this movie you have a mad man, seemingly with no identity, and no other motive other than to create complete and utter chaos.

I thought the mixture of chaos, comedy, surprises, and story development was perfect.

The scenes with the Joker really gave me the impression that this guy was just incredibly demented, and probably never had a conscious to begin with.
