This latest addition to the remake of the classic batman franchise was great overall, But as good an actor as Christian Bale is, his batman voice needed re-working into something more coherent. I found myself reminiscing of the older Batman: The Animated Series. The location was very unlike what I felt a Gotham city should be. Too open, not enough tall buildings, not "dark" enough. This movie was still one worth a second visit on a normal screen just to see what normal theatergoers missed in the imax version. Only when you watch this movie can you really appreciate the way Heath Ledger brought the Joker to life. Oscar post-mortem? A nomination nod seems appropriate at the least.
