Yes.
I hated Batman Begins. I still think that Christian Bale makes a shitty Batman (a good Bruce Wayne, but a shitty Batman), but Heath Ledger truly steals the show. And Gary Oldman's talent wasn't wasted this time. He had a beefier role and was quite good. Also, they got rid of the abysmal Katie Holmes and replaced her with Maggie Gyllenhaal. The role itself is still insipid and poorly written (as most comic book ladies are), but Maggie does a much better job with it.
It still suffers a bit from some poor editing decisions and it runs far, far too long.
However, it's definitely worth seeing in the theater.
