The movie was perfect. Everyone did their character very well. Ledger does a brilliant Joker that tends to be more believable than even the one in the comics. They got Eckert to do Two-Face...I was not disappointed at all with this. The fact that they never show what Two-Face looks like in the trailers so you never see it until you actually see it in the movie...wow. Gary Oldman still does an impressive Gordon. Caine and Freeman hit their characters perfectly. Bale is still the best Batman I've seen. The story is well done. They don't stretch anything to make it work. It's not gimmicky like alot of the other movies...they make it more realistic than the others, and in many ways, thats a great thing with it.
My worry is...if they do a third, can they do it and keep in the realistic tones that it has? Who could they have? Poison Ivy would be somewhat difficult to do, Penguin is too gimmicky, same with Riddler. Maybe Mr. Freeze...but they'd have to do it properly...none of this Arnold Schwartzeneger pomegranate...Mr Freeze was thin, weak, and frail. Still, I trust whatever they do, because my skepticism over Heath Ledger as Joker was completely destroyed when I saw this. They could say Rosie O'Donnell is playing the Penguin and I'd allow it.
Great film. Go see it. Purchase your tickets online, though, as most places will sell out fast.
