I could be wrong here, but I seem to remember he did have a son and said son was killed at some point.

No, not killed.
After what happened in Batman: Year One, Gordon and his wife Barbara eventually divorced, and she returned to Chicago with their son James Gordon Jr.
Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl/Oracle) is Gordon's adopted daughter (she's his niece on his brother's part).
And I caught the "cats" joke, too. I'd love to see Catwoman as a burglar Batman has to take down and then break out of jail to help him steal something he needs to stop the main villain of a future film.
As for Two-Face, c'mon. It's the second movie of the franchise. They HAD to have Two-Face.

Ah, right. I had forgotten the details and for some reason expected it to be worse.
Well, in Nolan's stuff we're not so sure on that. I remember in Begins the girl was called Barbara and in this one I'm fairly sure I spotted her name in the credits, too. So, adopted or not, that little girl is Barbara.

Yeah, I know. The family has two Jims and two Barbaras. Not very imaginative, those Gordons...

They make up for thier lack of imagination by being four times as awesome as most families.

Finally saw this yeterday (albeit not, alas, on IMAX.)
My complaints are all very minor quibbles. A few scenes ran long, and Bale's "Batman Voice" felt over the top in some of the longer dialog-laden scenes.
Other than that? This was as close to pitch-perfect as I could've asked. Perfectly cast. Best Joker ever. Better than the first Batman movie, and yes, I'm willing to say the best comic book movie yet.
I'm also very interested to see what they do for a sequel. I don't particularly want to see Catwoman as a "main" villain, but I could see Selina Kyle (without the "Catwoman" identity) as a supporting villain or reluctant ally.
I'm not convinced that
, for the record. I think we may see him again.

Imagine if Selina *steals* some pieces of Bat-armor to make a high-risk heist, only to be caught in the act and called "that... Cat-woman!", because she didn't have a cape, and the current bat-ears are smaller and shaped a bit like a panther's?

Saw this on the weekend, and the vampire mouse summed up my take on it precisely.
Regarding Ben Kingsley as Mr. Freeze...
Yeah, I know it's never going to happen. Mr. Freeze is a villain that Nolan will never use. Still, I can hope, can't I?
And my comment about getting him was talking about his busy schedule. He doesn't seem willing to turn down any role, no matter how awful it or the movie really is, as one poster so painfully pointed out. Why, oh why do good actors work with Uwe Boll? I just don't get it...
