Who saw the movie? I was able to sneak out last ngiht and see it with Mindy. Thought it was great!

Heath Ledger had an awesome performance of the joker. Completely blew away Jack Nicholson's Joker

I thought it was ok, but so far Nolan's re-imagining of Batman has me just going "meh" about the whole thing. If I wanted to watch a 2.5 hour long episode of Law & Order with a cameo of Batman, well, I don't actually tongue

Ledgers portrayal of the Joker was awesome. I still don't really care for Christian Bale as Batman. JUst my opinion, so don't send bat-nasty-grams to me. laugh

I think Christian Bale is better than Val Kilmer and Clooney. Keaton is my favorite though. He had a natural ability to play a straight laced billionaire, then fly off the handle without notice.

I like the modernization of the whole film, Gotham City, and gadgets. The BatBike was sweet!

I actually like Christian Bale best as Batman/Bruce Wayne so far. These new movies are way better than the 80s & 90s versions. I thought it was a little too long and occasonally a little to long-winded. Still, this is the best Batman movie to date. Definitely the best Joker interpretation too.

The movie was awesome! We went opening day at the Galleria, and must say the overall movie was better than I had expected. I figured a lot of Ledger's performance was talked up because of his death and I was wrong. He protrayed a totally different version of the Joker thus far. His delivery of the lines and the way he licked his lips as though he had drool coming out of his mouth was fantastic.

Do I think it was award worthy...yes, do I think he should get an award for it just because he died....no.

I'm a fan of Bale's portrayal of Wayne so far. He makes it believable that Wayne is the mask not the Batman and that what is great.

I didn't like the fact that Dent/Two-Face was only used as only as a secondary story in this movie. I could see foreshadowing to the next one, but introducing and killing him all in one film was useless.
Unless you are a true fan of Batman you know may have never heard of Bane or Azreal so killing off one of the better known characters was a bad choice.

But alas there want be another Joker movie, unless they replace Ledger. So where does the series go from here?

Already been stated that No one else will play the joker, no matter what. I have been hearing the penguin and cat woman in the next one.....

David Tennant has stated he would love to play the Riddler. After Doctor Who I would love to see him do that.

Either him or Crispin "George McFly" Glover would be perfect.

Loved it. Heath has to win an Oscar. I would like to see it in IMAX. I hope two face is not dead. I think there should have been more at the end for "the in memory of". What do you think of the preview of Bale as Conner in Terminater 4?
