Good film. Ledger did a great job, he came across as a complete nut!

I don't think its quite right comparing Jack Nicholson's Joker with Heath Ledger, the two films were done in different styles and called for. Tim Burton went for a macabre/comic style whilst Christopher Nolan went all out dark, this is reflected in how the two Jokers were played.

Having said that I think Cesar Romero was better than both of them

Saw this on Saturday, and was thoroughly impressed by it. Ledger was simply amazing as the Joker, and even though I'd heard he was brilliant I was still taken aback by just how good he was. Such a shame what happened to him as no-one else can play the Joker now in these films, but he's such a central character to the comics he could always have played a part.

They can definitely do more films if they want to though. There are so many brilliant villians they could do. I'd like them to do a film (or set of films) based around Bane. Not the mindless Bane we saw in Batman Forever or whichever one it was, but the evil, calculating villian from the comics who pushes Bruce to his very limits and then breaks him. They wouldn't be able to follow the comics properly here, but he could certainly be an excellent villian if done right.

Oh yeah loads of stuff. Off the top of my head he was in the shortlived Invasion series, was Colonel Willy Sharp in Armageddon and has also starred opposite Bale before, in Equilibrium.

He's in Prison Break as well.

A bit of forshadowing? When Batman got his new suit and asked about if it would keep dogs away, Fox said "it would protect you from cats" or words to that effect... tho hype at the moment in no catwoman in a possible 3rd.

End Spoiler Alert!

GEee Knneeeeee Us!

Loved it. Superb.

*waiting patiently until I know there's a full box set to purchase*

One bad thing though. His voice. Although it didn't irritate me throughout the entire film the initial time I heard it I whispered to Picky "Batman should stop smoking".

Bit too gruffity gruff. Sounded like a twin to ye oldey Madge on Neighbours.
