I'm going to be blunt: Nolan did a lousy job. No comparison to Batman Begins. Editing was bad. No character development of Batman. You have to see the movie for one thing only: the Joker played by Heath Ledger. There has never been a better or scarier villain on the screen, period. If the Oscar's meant anything today, Heath deserves ten of them for that role. It is just a mind blowing performance. Jack Nicholson looks like a joke in comparison. Whatever killed him deserves to come home to its makers.
