Wow.. an amazing film, really well put together, good balance between action and plot. Coming back from the film I find myself in two minds about whether I want a third one.. they've done such a good job of portraying the universe that I don't want it to be sullied. If they do a third I think they should leave it there for sure. Would be interesting to see them dip into the Dark Batman universe possibly? He's so close to the line it would be easy to make it plausible?
Heath's portrayal of the Joker was superb, a performance that will be hard to beat by anyone, the character came across as an exquisite blend of psychopath, anarchist and intelligence. I loved the played for kicks bits like with the hospital explosion, but found it was more the little bits like the odd skipping step as he left it that made the character complete. It's a damn shame to see an actor that's been coming into their prime with their recent performances die with some of their potential unfulfilled. He should absolutely be Oscar nominated for it, the performance is more than worthy.. is it the best acting of this Oscar year? Not sure, I haven't seen enough of the other critically acclaimed films yet to make that kind of judgement.

They've changed the look of Gotham alot from the last movie and not too sure I like it as a nice modern place.

That really didn't sit particularly comfortably with me. The impression of the city from the first film was it was pretty dark and grimy place, all of a sudden they've transformed it into a typical american city. Was surprised to see no monorail, none of the major things from the first film in fact, Wayne Towers.. no mansion and so on was fine / logical, but the rest?
Also who'd not notice Alfred and Bruce going in and out of some random shipping container on a routine basis? Any PI or curious journo worth their salts would have tracked that and figured it to be suspicious behaviour for a multi-millionaire.
