Batman IMAX exceeded my expectations. I expected the usual "cartoony" feel to the movie. This one came to life for me. Heath Ledger's untimely death did play a small role in my wanting to see the movie upon it's release. I usually wait a couple of weeks. However, that does not overshadow that fact that for me he is the best Joker yet. Darker perhaps, but the best. I'll purchase this one when the DVD comes out. Something I rarely do.
