Driving 7 hours to the nearest IMAX to see this movie = $300 in gas Staying in a hotel 3 nights = $350 Buying 6 tickets 2 weeks in advance = $60.00 Waiting in line to get a good seat = 1 1/2 hours Having my son say that this was the best day of his life ever = PRICELESS!! My husband and son, who are huge Batman fans, loved this movie. My daughters and I, who are not fans, also loved the movie. The plot was excellent. The special effects were realistic. And the violence, while intense, was mostly implied with no gory details actually shown. This movie has turned me into a Batman fan. Heath Ledger's performance was truly amazing!
