    Just came from seeing this. Even going in with high expectations, I was still amazed. It completely goes beyond a "comic book movie" and is simply a great film, period.
    The praise for Ledger is certainly not overstated, but Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent was great, too. I managed to stay completely spolier-free, so his role in the movie was a surprise.
    So much was happening, but all the story and character elements were handled perfectly, without becoming muddled and confusing.

    At first I assumed Ramierez was Montoya, from the comics and animated series, although considering what happens with her character, I'm glad she wasn't (as an aside, Dent is obsessed with Montoya in the comics).

    Poor little kids who get taken to this movie are going to have nightmares for weeks! I now question the wisdom of giving away mini-Jokers in boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (even though I have three).

    I am eternally grateful to this movie (and Batman Begins) for snuffing out the painful memory of those that came before it.

    Word!!!! I have a tough time with bad, tacky movies of comic heroes. This was not a candyass film.

    YES!! The Michael Keaton Batmans were phenomenal...but George Clooney and Val Kilmer just ruined it....thank goodness for Christian Bale for bringing Batman back!!

    I've never even heard of Montoya...the whole Question thing..with the batsignal rigged with a question mark...isnt that the Riddlers thing?(I did love Jim Carrey as the Riddler and hope they bring that character back one day!!)

    ^ Oh Lordy Lordy... don't even start getting into that... then you find out Harvey Dent had a daughter who claimed she was Riddler's Daughter and then there's the Alternate Realities and the Earth-3 and... it goes on if you start reading into it. At some point in the Batman series, President Lex Luthor's (yes, from Superman) child from another reality ends up becoming Batman's nemesis... so it's best not to start reading too much into it unless you want to be stuck in comicbook land for 65892748 years.

    The Burton movies were okay (although I hated that version of the Penguin), and can be credited with restoring Batman's serious side, but they just weren't as believable as Nolan's. I preferred Mask of the Phantasm to Burton's version, which I highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

    Then Joel Schumacher came along... Mr. Freeze's one-liners, Bane as a mindless thug, the Bat-credit card... it just got worse and worse. Here's an interesting bit on Wikipedia about Batman Triumphant and other canceled sequels.

    It also rumors David Tennant as the next Riddler, which would be AWESOME.

    I loved that we didn't get the Joker's origin in Dark Knight; that should remain a mystery. His different stories about his scars were a neat trick- the first time, I thought "They can't just explain it like that!" But then it turns out to be another aspect of his insanity.

    This is on the news just as I'm typing this... what a shame!

    I think they've been on the outs for awhile (and I thought he was estranged from his sister) so I think they're dong it for money.
    Did you see him in All the Little Animals?

    He's been released with no charges filed. I think they were working overtime to f-up his big day. Sometimes you gotta keep your distance from family.

    On perez:

    Looks like Batman's mouth is what got him into trouble!

    A report claims that Christian Bale was likely arrested for verbal assault.

    In England one can be charged with verbal assault, Class 4 and Class 5.

    Good to know English mommas!

    If your kids mouth off, threaten to have them arrested!

    Is that really arrest-worthy????

    Unless you're screaming "I'm gonna fucking kill you!", we don't think it is.

    What do U think?

    Bleh.I can just see straight through her acting.

    Actually I think I have some deeply rooted thing against her. I told my bf that I didn't like the "main chick" and he said "you know thats the same girl you bitched about in (some other movie) and the one you walked out of".

    I'm AWFUL with faces, so I honestly didn't know it was the same girl. I can't even get people in the same movie straight unless ones black and the others white or two chicks with blond and black hair, it's that bad.

    I just subconsciously hate her I guess, ahah.

    I have never heard a theaterful of people sit completely still for two and a half hours before. I agree, incredible. Even better than Memento! Wow. Undoubtedly the best superhero movie made; it totally transcends the genre.

    Also I believe it's the first time I haven't found Gary Oldman even a little bit sexy.

    Kate Beckinsale would more than likely make an awesome Catwoman actually.
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.

    I WISH they had in my theater. We had a group of teeny bopper girls behind us talking and giggling through the first part until I had to turn around and tell them to STFU. They did though,thankfully...for the most part..still some giggling...but enough that I could enjoy the rest of the movie. Grrrr....people making noise in movie theaters...can I add that to the pet peeves list??

    There's an option in australia to book things called 'Gold Class'. they serve food and only have thirty seats and charge $30 a seat. Nobody fucking talks in those movies because of the price. You never get children or teenagers. Plus - they serve alcohol.

    WIN!

    Me too! It didn't seem like him at all.

    Loved the movie, so tense the whole way through.

    Long film, but it definitely didn't disappoint. The Joker made the movie. By far, one of the best movies this year...
