So, I have been awake for far longer than any person my age should be, and I have to up until much later tonight...
However, it waaaaaas worth it!! First off there was like 8 trailers in front of it, most of which I'd already blogged about and linked to, but a couple I hadn't heard about yet. Christian Bale played Batman just the way he had in the first film, but with a bit more motivation. Aaron Eckhart was very solid as Harvey Dent, and his "make-up" later on in the film was incredible. Gary Oldman has a much more significant role in this one, and he's an accomplished actor, so another good point. The action, timing, special effects, and story were all spot on. Very impressed. AND, when you think the movie will end, because that's what they do, end it, leave you with a cliffhanger for the third movie because this is the second one...Batman continues to build, and then give you a complete resolution, while still having the open for the third.
Now onto what you've been waiting for, Heath's portrayal of the Joker. Astonishing, simply astonishing. The key to being a good actor is that you forget your watching an actor, and considering he's no longer with us, that's a very tough thing to get out of your head,. He was the Joker, no question. And what a joker, he was completely demented, totally dark, and vicious. In my opinion, better than Jack Nicholson, hands down.
Now to the bad...I was really only disappointed by the fact that Katie Holmes has been replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal. She looked too old, and way less attractive. She should have fired her make up people, it was not great at all. But, that's only thing I didn't like. Go see it, don't miss out, this will be the top grossing movie of the year.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
