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.

I think Ledger may be up for an oscar on it 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.

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.
