I hear Ledger won't even answer calls for a sequel.

Seriously, batman fans are gonna loose their minds when they see this!! Even if your not a Batman fan you will enjoy this movie. It is that good!!! It is 2 1/2hrs long and by the end of the movie you won't realize you have been there that long, keeps you at the edge of your seat & not predictable.

Saw it at midnight. The movie absolutely perfect. I am about 90% sure that Heath Ledger will get the best actor Oscar. Jack Nicholson as much as I love the guy was simply destroyed by Ledgers take on the Joker. This is the Batman/Joker movie that Bob Kane would finally be proud of. Christian Bale while overshadowed by Ledger (impossible not to be in this case) was better than ever and brought even more layers to the character. And Dent/Two-Face was incredible too. Finally a comic book movie has topped Spider-man 2. This will be nominated for best picture.

Wonder who the next villain will be? Bane or Catwoman? I think both.

I can't wait to see it in IMAX. I head about 30 minutes of action scenes are in IMAX. Nishe!

Was it really, or are you only saying that because he is dead?

I think Catwoman, there is a hint somewhere in the movie, you have to pay attention!!

Catwoman sucks. They could do better.

I look forward to this movie.

hbowever, overall, you must admit, Marvel kicks DC's ass every which way.

No question Heath Ledger is The Joker while Jack Nicholson is a good substitute.

I'm going with some other friends tonight to see it again. I will catch it this time but last night I was too busy jumping up and down in the aisles cheering.

Iron man=best comic movie ever

Spider man flicks all nearly exactly true to the original comics, except he built webshooters in the comics

Not this time. Marvel will never top this. Ironman, Spider-man 2, and Hulk come the closest but this sets the standard. Hellboy 2 failed miserably in my eyes.

Get ready to replace Ironman for The Dark Knight. Ironman kicked ass but Batman just lays waste.

I will have to wait till the crowds die down to see it.

Not to ask the obvious, but is it fair to compare it with the original 1989 edition?

I went to the midnight show last night. It was incredible, Heath Ledger really is an amazing actor. I can't wait to see it again!

No. At noon when the theaters open stop whatever you are doing and get a late night ticket. You will not regret it.

Its not fair to compare because 89 stands absolutely zero chance. Nothing about it touches Dark Knight in anyway.
