Caught it last night. Hated Batman:Begins, but Heath Ledger makes me feel like giving Nolan permission for his baffling, oft intrusive realism. Christian Bale remains slgithly uneven and the Maggie Gyllenhaal character is written roadkill flat, but the whole effect is brilliant. I don't think anybody was on the fence about seeing it, but if somebody happens to be and comes upon this thread, I definitely say go for it. Recommended wholeheartedly. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhardt are incredible. Heath Ledger is undisputed emperor of this movie and deserves it. Highest accolades from me.
