Good - Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight

Bad - Christian Bale as Batman, he's not George Clooney bad, but I felt like I was watching a guy doing a Clint Eastwood impersonation.

Great: Jack Nicholson as the joker in Batman. He stole the show.

I think Reeves gets an unfair bad rap, he's great in the Bill And Ted movies, brilliant in River's Edge, and more recently in Henry's Crime.
Other great Reeves performances- Parenthood, My Own Private Idaho, Permanent Record, I Love You To Death.

Good: Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects.
