I thought the movie was brilliant. I liked that they had someone different playing Rachel. I am not a fan of Katie Holmes at all, although she did a decent job in Batman Begins. But I love Maggie. I thought it was great that they didn't try to get an actress to imitate Katie, or the Rachel Dawes that she portrayed.

I think all of the cast did a stellar job, and I loved how they didn't make the movie just about one particular character...Batman, the Joker, Harvey Dent... they all had close to equal amounts of screen time.

Very dark movie, but extremely well done. I thought the direction was awesome. I liked how they directed it to show Batman's views from the top of the city, and the Joker's views from the bottom...same with all the corporate big wigs in the tops of skyscrapers. Very cool that it was so layered, and not just a movie about a superhero.

Christian Bale is a great Batman and Heath Ledger did a phenomenal job as the Joker, he was hardly recognizable. And, not just because of the makeup. He really took crazy to another level.

Loved it.
