Man.... it took me a day to even compile my thoughts on how amazing that film was. Even now, the most I can say is IMAX was awesome, Ledger was awesome, the "Plan" was awesome, Two-Face looked awesome and the ending was awesome.
So I guess the predominant term would be awesome.
Deep.... I know.

This movie was honestly, better than I had expected it to be.
I should probably point out here that my expectations were very, very high. I already saw it again this evening. Apologies if I wasn't clear with this, was still reeling from the awesomeness as I wrote it.

Does anybody else think it's cheezy the way batman talks?

Well he's wrong of course, Superman - The Movie is still king of the comic book adaptations.
I'd like to see a Batman film closer to the comics of old where Batman is more detective and less Robocop.

The Crow is the Godfather of comic movies. Followed closely by The Dark Knight.

I don't think you quite get the analogy. "The Dark Knight" is the "Godfather of comic movies" because it's essentially a crime thriller, the way Godfather is. I supposed The Crow is in the same relative genre, but it really doesn't even come close to "The Dark Knight".
And I'd categorize "Superman" more as the Casablanca of comic movies.
Of course, if I'm totally off and he's just trying to say that it's the best comic book movie ever, he'd still be correct.

I enjoyed it.
I'll have to see it again to decide whether it's my favorite Batman movie. ;-)
Overall, the Spider-Man trilogy remains my favorite super hero franchise. (Yes, I even liked #3)

One of the better movies I have seen in quite sometime.
Do not think there would be a whole lot to brag about if ledger as the joker wasn't in it.
Pretty much makes the movie.
Can't wait to see this in the IMAX next week.

Instant Classic!
Saw this last night...
I expected it to be great, but it simply was 'Ultraextraordinary', Absolutely stunning - can't wait to see this again and again and again!!!
Spectacular direction from Chris Nolan. I'm not sure how he did it, this to me is a Masterpiece. The one which many will look back among the greatest of the superhero film. I think this is the very best of its kind. It will be more than difficult to top this one with the next installment.
Heath was breathtaking indeed, his role has so much depth and the way he portrayed 'Joker' was tantalizing, and seriously why isn't Aaron Eckhart a huge star already. Bale was as great as always. Freeman and Cane brought a good intermission between the seriousness of the film, gave it a slight pause between each important subjects.
Overall, simply breathtaking.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger

Oh my god I have to wait til Saturday night. I think I might pee my pants...oh wait...damn
I have to wait until the saturday after and i've already s**t mine.
I felt strangely disconnected from the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, it was a very good film, but I think I preferred Batman Begins overall. One thing I really missed was the set-design from the first film. Gotham looked like it could have been any old city this time around.
Ledger's performance was good, but I don't think it was Oscar-worthy. It's upsetting that he died, but I don't think we should get carried away. Gary Oldman's Gordon was a more complete character, for example.
I felt that Batman was marginalised ever so slightly with everything that was going on. Bale's performance wasn't as assured as the first film either. Caine and Freeman were also sidelined and the loss of the Batcave was lamentable. I even missed Katie Holmes (shock horror)!
It's a Superman II for me. Very good, but not as good as the first one.

They should make The Green Lantern

I think someone with Christopher Nolan's serious approach to it should, too. Nolan has proven talent makes these, not just throwing money at the screen. Hire the right director, the right writer, and the best actors out there. Bring on Batman III.
More about Green Lantern...yes, but NOT the quickly forgetable rumor about a Jack Black GL movie I heard a few years ago. DC needs to jump on the bandwagon and make more movies with good ideas, but stop letting the suits make the horrible desisions. The talent is out there, now go find them.

Begins got more things wrong than right and thankfully TDK more than wiped that slate clean.
Batman letting Ghul die in Begins, is the biggest mistake since bat-nipples and the bat-credit card. However good Begins is, it's undermined by that one moment.
Thankfully, TDK focussed on a fully operational batman and moved on from all of these boring-assed origin stories that are strangling the superhero-genre.
Pinpointing Jim Gordon is spot on and to a degree, i agree that Heath's is not necessarily an oscar winning performance but he did the greatest villain in history proud, and it's a shame that he will never be able to knock it out the park on a second go.

Jokers second entrance sold me on his character! I love that magic trick of his. Also thoroughly enjoyed the whole IMAX sequence.

That was awesome! I have to see it again
i saw it twice two days in a row...ridiculous, and I'm not even a big superhero fan. everything just comes together perfectly. We might see it again on an IMAX, lol

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to get arrested as the Joker...
Saw it for the fourth time today, first time in IMAX.
One word: Awesome.

One think about TDK though. Anyone laugh sadistically with the Joker? I find myself doing so....felt so wrong and so right. I rarely see a movie and want to see it again right afterwords, this one I did.
"It's all part of the plan!" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Anyone know where Jokers bank heist mask is for sale? I only found his minions masks online.
