It was amazing. They really aren't overstating Heath Ledger's performance. It's better than Batman Begins, and I wasn't sure that was really possible before last night.

Absolutely. I'm looking forward to seeing it on IMAX.

So, it's on target to overtake Titanic as the highest-grossing film ever. Which gives me hope for humanity.

15 days in release, $491,987,000... :shock:

On the upside, there will almost certainly be a Batman 3.

Hey, maybe they will get Halle Berry to reprsie her Catwoman role? :)

Tut tut, she won a highly publicised award for that film. And turned up to accept it.

Come on, Halle Berry's role in Catwoman was an incredible performance... as long as you watched with the sound turned down.

I just saw the film last night. Let me tell you, the critics are not joking about Ledger's role as the Joker. Quite honestly, it might be the best villain performance in history. Big words, I know, but I was incredibly impressed.

I'm going to see it tonight. You mother frackers opinion of a movie appears to carry some weight cause I haven't been to a cinema in bout a year.

On another note, Johnny Depp is seemingly in talks to play the Riddler in the next movie. Bale and Depp would be fantastic.

I don't think Depp would be good, it'll go straight back to the old style camp comedy Batmans, rather than Nolan's far darker, serious, and frankly better new age Batmans.
