I could see the Riddler in the new one. Like he sends riddles to Batman and the authorities with clues on his next victim. Then if they fail to solve the riddle, he kills them............I got nothing.

I'd love to see Tom Elliot make his way into the movies, but I think they'd save that for the 4th or 5th instalment. And by that time, it most likely won't even be Bale or Nolan anymore. It just seems like they'd have to exhaust all the other characters first, before diving into the newer and less popular ones.

And the Mad Hatter's name is Jervis Tetch.

I couldn't agree more and it's a shame too because \"Hush\" was such a great storyline.

No kidding. He was saying the schizo's name was Schiff, not Hatter's.

Someone told me the guy Dent interrogated was Tetch. Apparently, it wasn't.

According to Wikipedia it is. However, like I said before, the little description on Wikipedia isn't even accurate when referencing the scene in the movie, let alone it being Tetch. It's just some stupid fanboy being a douche.

Oh! Wtf, I thought someone was disputing the Mad Hatter's identity or something. I'm about to watch the movie again because I am a filthy pirate so I can attempt to see if that was the case. If it was I don't think it foreshadows anything because if it had been Tetch then it was a third rate actor just portraying an easter egg for the fans.

I'm late, but I loved this movie.. Batmans death metal voice was cool, didn't bother me at all.
It all looked really great and everything surpassed my expectations, fuck yeah 10/10

I found the movie to be enjoyable... but not nearly the bombshell that everyone was ranting about.
(Let's ignore the fact that Nolan has decided to portray Wayne as a costumed meathead instead of a calculating detective and his choice to reduce the comic's inventive sleuth to an appropriating army surplus warhorse)
Story was serviceable, but not particularly tight or overly compelling... and the action sequences were fairly by the close/quick-edit textbook. Nice camera work though... and i must admit that Aaron Eckhart really shined as Harvey Dent. His slow burn into his villainous alter-ego was far more compelling than the over-the-top Ledger joker. Don't get me wrong, folks... Heath did a GREAT job as the clown prince of crime... but his portrayal was predictably forced. There wasn't a single moment onscreen when i wasn't fully aware of what he was going to do next. Let's face it... if you don a face full of terrifying grease-paint, are shot with intense filtered camera angles, and your scripted dialogue comes littered with some of the best one-liners in the film... you're going to come off like a champ! He (Ledger) did a great job... but the way that film was shot and scripted, you could put a chimp in that make-up and he'd be suitably terrifying...
Bale was easily as wooden as he was in the last film... and to be fair, he had less to work with. This was more about the villains, i suppose... but if history (or Tim Burton) has taught us anything, it is that focusing more on the secondary players to the detriment of the main character often leads to cinematic disaster. This film evaded that usual story bloat... but the fact that Nolan felt he had to cram the totality of the Dent/Two-face saga into this film once the Joker was dealt with bodes dangerously for future sequels...
All in all... a good superhero flick... and an intriguing Batman interpretation.
But the Bat-suit needs to go... it makes a cool character look like a clumsy rubbery dolt...
7/10

A good movie, no doubt. I enjoyed it ten times more than i did Batman Begins. But I still can't even begin to imagine how it could be ranked #4 overall of the greatest movies of all time on IMDB.com. And since it is, I can't help but believe that this is the most overrated movie I have ever seen

I grew up on Adam West as Batman. We even made a special trip to the City to see the movie opening day. I had the Robin Halloween costume and would jump off our steps saying POW and ZAP, humming the theme. But, I've never fully appreciated the new Batman movies. I thought the original with Nicholson was excellent but too dark for my Batman.
I never made it through the entire Batman Begins and Batman's voice when in costume sounds like a bad impression of Clint Eastwood. Ledger did a great job, but if he didn't die before this movie came out, the feelings of a brilliant performance wouldn't be resonating so loudly. He was excellent, and considering his true accent, he was phenomenal. But, about an hour and twenty minutes into the movie I checked the box to see how long the movie was, and when I saw it was two and a half hours long, I almost had a heart-attack. WAY TOO LONG!!
One question: Batman had no problem at all killing bad guys. He did it throughout the movie. Why didn't he just let the Joker fall?
As The Fecal Kid says: He's a rabid fan, so I fully understand why he loves this movie.
