[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 4403213, member: 11"] Saw it, and kinda liked it for what it was. I think Ledger's performance lives up to the hype, and I liked the way they brought in two-face (I really thought they would just set it up for the next movie and we wouldn't get to see him in action - but compared to how most superhero movies with more than one villain tend to flub it, this was very well done). On the other hand, Batman felt kind of superfluous in his own movie - or perhaps they should have had less of him - I just find live-action very jarring when it comes to men in rubber suits or tights running around fighting or having conversations in an office - there is just a whiff of the ridiculous I cannot shake (something that never bothers me in the original medium). Also, the Joker seemed to have the power of precognition throughout the movie, which stretched credulity to me - some of which can be explained away by the corrupt police force, but some of which just seemed impossible to pull off. I wrote a more detailed review on my blog, but since it would violate the no politics rules of the boards I won't link to it. [/QUOTE]
