This is a very good sequel to Batman Begins. I can understand the excitement for it, but I still don't think it's worth waiting in line for a whole day... no movie is. Cons: Gotham city had too much "Chicago" feel to it (and yes, was shot in Chicago). The previous film was in the same location, but it was altered to be more like Gotham City. Where were the super-elevated train tracks? I also didn't dig Batman being more exposed - In the previous movie he moved like a shadow and used theatrics with his "batness" to strike fear into his enemies...this time around he looked more like a guy wearing a stiff bat-suit and didn't obscure the use of his gadgets. Pros: Heath Ledger as the Joker was simply awesome... I can understand why Jack Nicholson got the jitters when he heard Heath was reinventing the Joker. The treatment of Two Face was a significant improvement over Tommy Lee Jones' version... I still remember back then wondering...why is Two Face trying to 1-up the Joker in the laugh department? And did he raid a donkey show for his outfit? Joel Schumacher must die... All in all, I really enjoyed this movie and recommend seeing it in theatres.
