My take is mixed: yes, Batman fans, there's a lot here for you to sink your teeth into if you love the genre. And Heath's The Joker is off the chain--he stole nearly every scene. But there was a lot left to be desired -- the plot was choppy and at times it was unclear who the good guys were in all those good guy/bad guy alliances. Why are chases obligatory in the action/adventure genre? Ever since Bullitt, I suppose, directors and writers have to have one or more rock'em sock'em chase scenes seemingly as a substitute for good plot and story line. You have several in this one. BoorrriiiiiiiinnnnG!!! This thing went far to long, too. The mind can only absorb as much as the butt can stand -- a good 30 minutes could've been chopped and it would've been the same movie. Finally, I kept wondering what it was about the part that drove poor Heath to take himself out (accidentally or otherwise)? Yes, the J was a very bad dude, but c'mon, this was a comic book character!! Nonetheless, Heath, you did a great job and I'm saddened in watching you that we won't see you again, as the bad bad J, or in any other role. Kudos, man. (PS: was that funny tick with your mouth and tongue real, are part of the dimensions of your characterization?)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
