Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

From what I remember you see Wayne Towers twice. Its very different. Its basically a rectangular block with no monorail system. I guess they decided to save money on the cgi. The monorail system was partly destroyed around the tower though so maybe they took it out. Maybe that was also being repaired and this was Wayne Towers 2. The dude is rich enough to have a backup sky scraper.

End Spoiler Alert!

Saw it last Wednesday, loved it.

Saw this and i'm openly surprised. Really really good and I'm glad that the director captured the essence of Batman so well. Best film I've watched in a long time.

If they are going to do a third then they will have to tread carefully. With the way that hollywood is at the moment I can really see it happening.

There will be a 3rd as the main cast have been contracted for 3. Its all on Nolan now.

I concur with the majority here.

That was SMEGGING awesome

As pointed out by my brother, although I spotted it as well, one of the best bits from Heath Ledger was at the party where he grabs a drink off someone, spills it all and then drinks the empty glass

I pointed out the bit slightly earlier at the party where Bruce is on the balcony and pours his drink over the edge and pretends to drink from the empty glass when Rachel and Harvey come out

Excellent parodying of them being alike I thought.

End Spoiler Alert!

Really enjoyed that

Very dark and a surprisingly intelligent blockbuster.
I was a bit concerned I'd feel it was too long, but it wasn't. The time went way too fast and I actually didn't want it to end!
Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was brilliant, certainly worth an Oscar nomination imo. He surpassed Nicholson's Joker. Such a shame it was his last film

A truly great loss to the film world as well as his loved ones.

Technically it wasn't Ledger's last movie, because The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is still in post-production

Haly · 06-08-2008, 20:02

True, forgot that! Which is daft of me as it looks good

PvtPyle · 06-08-2008, 20:04

The only problem will be of course if he isn't any good in it - after The Joker, it would be a shame given we won't see him again!

Haly · 06-08-2008, 20:21

Fingers crossed that won't be the case
