...but I mean that in a good way. The pace is absolutely relentless. When leaving the theater I thought I had been in Gotham with it's citizens. It's hard to give a review of Batman when the Joker was absolutely incredible. What a shame that Heath Ledger won't be around for the 3rd movie, even if the Joker would only have a small part. This is a dark movie. Two complaints, however, nitpicky: one, I don't think the major characters who died should have and two, near the end I thought we could've done without that whole segment, it seemed to drag it along to what I don't know. Either way, I'll still see it again to catch some nuances I missed earlier.
