I personally liked the actor they had for Rodey better in the first one than the second one.

As far as Dark Knight goes, I don't care for the actor who played batman... at all. In fact he is the reason I won't watch those batman movies more than once, but the Joker made my day.

Keith Ledger stayed true to his character. Though I miss the side of joker that you could laugh at. But his entire purpose in life was to get Batman to screw up and mess up morally.
