YES and YES!! I can't wait, my only concern is can Heath Ledger pull off the Joker. Jack did fantastic with it and I am not a Heath fan. So it will all depend on the Joker. Besides I can't let a BATMAN movie go by it was a nick name I picked up on the street.

I haven't seen it yet, probably will this weekend.

For the above poster, every person I know that has seen it says Heath blows Jack out of the water. But they say it's a very dark movie, and that it will scare some people, possible nightmares.

Every person that I have talked to so far says that Heath's Joker makes Jack's look tame by comparison and that Heath IS the Joker.....so I doubt you have to worry.

A buddy called me and said that The Dark Knight broke some Star Wars movie's opening weekend total already....something like 18m in the first half day....idk

If it's dark then they hit the nail on the head!!!!! It's all about the psyco in the heads of Batman and the bad guys. If you follow the comics you can pick it out in the later years. So maybe I will be impressed, I was with Mortin Downey, I didn't think he could pull Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) off and he did.

Morton Downey was the talk show/circus ringman that grafitti'ed himself up and said he'd been jumped in a restroom. Robert Downey is the recovered coke fiend/actor. The former is deceased, the latter is not.

Time for a bump...

Saw it Sunday Morning with my two older kids. Great job by Heath, whenever he wasn't on screen I felt like I was missing out. This isn't a superhero movie by any means, you could ditch the cape and make-up and it'd still be a great movie.

Joker at the hospital was hysterical.

Some people are saying that part with the Joker at the hospital was stupid but I feel it shows how crazy he is and what lengths he will go...

I saw it opening night it was pretty intense. Good movie though. The pencil magic trick was funny too.

I loved the movie, not the people watching it....

People were snickering at Joker at the wrong times. Like when he was trying to blow people up. (I am trying to be vague here. Those who have seen it should know what I am talking about)

Oh yeah, saw it Saturday night. It's worth it, well worth it. If you like good seats show up ahead. We got there 50 minutes early (for an IMAX showing) and still didn't quite get the seats we wanted but they weren't terrible.
