In any case- loved it. The only real problem I had was with the final fight- a lot of people have criticized the fight scenes in general, but I actually liked them. I much prefer the fast and gritty fight scenes with random thugs to the 5 minute ballet with Thug #1 that we have seen in all the previous Batman movies. They're redshirts- let's not dwell. On the other hand, the fight with a major villain- in this case Ra's- should and could have been more clearly edited than it was. I couldn't see a lot of what went on, and couldn't understand a lot of their dialogue. Again, though, my only major gripe.Didn't realize Christopher Nolan was a writer and director until the end credits, but it certainly explained why I kept thinking of Memento as I was watching the movie- even prior to the "Flass" character showing up.Last thought- Christian Bale is ripped, man! The guy is freakin' huge! Considering his last role (in The Machinist) had him down to a rail thin 110 lbs., this dude bulked up like no one's business! Way bigger than he was in American Psycho. I can't imagine what stress that weight loss/gain has put on his body.Looking forward to more Batman- though I hope we don't see any of the villains we've already seen (in previous movies), unless they come up with some interesting new takes.</blockquote>
