Has anyone seen it yet? I went with my two oldest boys today. I've got to say it was quite good. Heath Ledger as the Joker was outstanding!!! But, don't go expecting Ceasar Romero or Jack Nicholson. This Joker is a bad dude. Christian Bale is equally as good playing Batman. I don't know if these types of movies get any real Oscar consideration, but this one should. I doubt it could win best picture, but a few nominations for acting is possible.

This is not the 60's Batman. It's not even the 80's Batman. This may be the best movie I've seen this year. Granted I haven't seen a lot of movies this year; I only go to the theater for blockbusters. This one was well worth it.

Thanks for the review! We'll check it out.

It looks pretty cool.

I think Ledger may be up for an oscar on it

He died so he will get it.

i hear it is excellent

My oldest daughter went with her friends last night and was blown away. She was wanting to talk about it all night long when she got home. She said it was excellent.

He made the movie. I think he should win and NOT because he died. His portrayal of the Joker is one of (if not THE) best movie villains I have ever seen.

It is an excellent movie. It's long, but it held my attention the whole time. Great action all the way through.

glad to hear it..i was hoping it was as good as it looked

my wife is goin' to see it this evening so i can't wait to hear what she thinks.

it looks amazing and i have heard great things about it...im hopin to see it tommorow night

Saw it this afternoon and thought it was pretty good. For me, that's saying a lot, seeing as for the most part, I do not like the comic book movie remakes. If you are into this type of movie it is well worth it to go see.

This movie rocked! It's almost good enough for me to forgive Ledger for that gay cowboy movie.

Was wondering when someone would post about this.

I saw it Thursday night at Midnight, first showing hehehe.

I'd have to say, it was BRILLIANT.

In my opinion it easily ranks as not only the best "Superhero movie" or "comic book" movie ever, but so far, as the best movie of the year.

Ledger's joker is a brilliantly twisted creation. It's a very creepy, haunting performance, if he doesn't get a posthumous oscar nomination it will be a real shame.

Also, I'd say the movie should be up for a best picture, and the director, Christopher Nolan, up for Best Director.

Really, it's much more like a taut, suspenseful, dark and grim crime drama then any comic book movie. It's like Heat, or The Departed, if a few of them wore costumes lol.

Also, it's not really for the kiddies, at least not the really young ones.

Joker WILL give the youngest set nightmares lol.

And rightfully so, it's Batman the way it's meant to be lol.

For everyone else, go check it out.

I haven't been to the movies since Dances with Wolves came out, but I just might break that streak with this movie.

i'm with u...the last movie i went and saw in the theaters was Transformers (which was AWESOME). i'm not a big movie buff....

i think it was X-files for me. Um like the first one i mean.

My wife and I were still dating in 1990 when we went to the movies, and I haven't been back since.

i havent even been with the kids

Well, sounds like it's about time for you guys to get to the movies...I recommend the Dark Knight..hehe.

but who'll watch the kids? it aint gonmna be you. they be asking for fat tire in their sippy cups

Come home and they'll be wearing "Now Drinking" t-shirts

It was pretty good. Don't think it was the best I have seen this summer though.

This was the BEST batman movie to date. And definitely not for the kiddies. And I would say it is the best movie I have seen the the theater in years, WOW!!
