    Personally, part of me hopes they don't make any more Batman movies cause I'm not sure its possible to live up to this one.

    i was thinking the same thing when i left the theater. i loved begins and the first burton batman, but this blows those two away. yea, its 2.5 hrs long, but it really did not feel that long at all. i couldve sat there for another 30 minutes or so and it would not have bothered me. thrill ride from start to finish. i was on the edge of my seat for the whole film. there were plenty of plot twists that i did not see coming at all (and i've been reading up on this film since the last one came out). heath ledger was phenomenal. im going to see it on sunday again with my brothers. cant wait!

    i read today that christian bale said as long as nolan's in, he is in.

    i just watched it again without the imax distortion...much easier to watch on the regular screen. i am still in awe of this movie. twice in 24 hours...i need an intervention...lol.

    seen it twice already too. lets start a support group, afterwards we'll go see batman, haha.

    This is probably the first summer movie I have seen in a long, long time that actually lived up to the hype.

    The only thing that got me a bit (and there's nothing that could help this) is that whenever Christian Bale was in a normal suit and driving around the city or walking around I couldn't get visions of him as Patrick Bateman out of my head which is an odd sort of thing when you're supposed to be watching a super hero. ;)

    But I'm going to see it again in a week or two and see if I missed anything.

    Great movie!

    just got back from seeing it. WOW!! i absolutely loved it. i usually avoid movies that get so hyped up, but curiosity got the better of me and i'm glad it did. beautifully shot, and just so freaking dark and twisted. that's what i loved about hte original batman, and this has that same spirit going. it's nice to see an action movie that is also intelligent...amazing! lol

    and heath's performance....he makes nicholson's joker look like ronald mcdonald in comparison. total sadist....works perfect.

    i already can't wait to see it again!

    It was good, but not the greatest comic book movie. Kinda sad, thought it would be better, I hate the way bale does the batman voice, it sounds really bad.

    The joker was great of course, nailed that role for sure. same with dent, very good acting.

    i understand why people would have enjoyed the film, i just wanted a little bit more from it. any batman movie is like a pearl jam album, i'm going to like it (so yes stupidity was a bit much) but not every one can be perfect. as far as length the movie had like three endings...the chase scene, the first death scene, then the second death scene. i could have done without the second one which made the movie 1/2 hour long IMO...but no biggie. Of the 4 movies I've seen this year this was second best to Speed Racer, which, once you get by the kiddie stuff, was actually a much smarter movie than this batman. Ironman, and Indiana 4 were miles behind the prior two.


    Fuckin Speedracer...brought to u buy the guys who should have never made 2 more Matrix films, and your calling Dark Knight stupid..Speedracer=stylish garbage

    And also you guys might want to restrain from basically giving the whole movie away..some people might not have seen it yet and your talking about who dies and the ending.Start another thread that has the word "SPOILERS" in it

    I totally disagree that it wasn't the best comic book movie

    What comic book movie would you put a head of TDK ?

    that preview they showed for "the watchmen" before batman looked pretty cool... ive heard good things about the graphic novel... but i dont really know enough about it to say for sure

    and the only comic book movies i can think of that even compare with "the dark knight" are "iron man" and "batman begins".... the most recent hulk was good too but not in the same league... i absolutely hated the spiderman movies, daredevil, fantastic 4, and the punisher

    It was good... kind of dragged on a little in the middle though. Heath was great, but I would have liked to have seen more of the Scarecrow!
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    yah the way he was in it was so short that it was almost unnecessary... not that i wouldve wanted anymore... i didnt care for that character... and every shot without heath was wasted

    thought the animation was good though... much better than tommy lee jones' 2 face (obviously)... i just wish they had wrapped up that story line before the jokers so i could focus on a real badguy instead... it was pretty well balanced though... not too much 2 face... and his character development was pretty well mapped out that i didnt feel his transition was unrealistic

    I thought Bale's voice was so overdone and cheesy! I really wasn't buying Batman in this movie. He the shit kicked out of him in the most important scenes. 00

    thats the main problem my dad had with the movie too... the "batman voice"... ill admit its a lil much... its like how the only difference between superman and clark kent is the glasses... i didnt notice it as much in "batman begins", but he talks alot more as batman in this one... i still think bale makes an excellent batman and bruce wayne though... i cant think of a single actor i would prefer
