this latest version of batman not only made the originals look god awful, but is probably the best superhero movie to date. my onlt dissapointment with the film is heath ledger. that idiot had to go and "accidently" od on drugs depriving the world of a talent that i didn't truly see until he not only embodied the true essence of the joker (making nichloson look like a character in a kids movie) but really did a better joker then i've ever seen, even in the comics. best movie of the year!
