Finally watched it last night. While there were enjoyable moments, I was a bit let-down. I found the movie bloated. I think it could have been trimmed down. There were times when it seemed endless. I wanted to like it more than I did, but there were actually certain parts where I dozed off.

I have to agree with others here who found Bale's Batman voice annoying. What the heck was THAT all about? I am a definite Bale fan, but I didn't find him engaging at all. He's the kind of actor that pulls your attention to him when he's on-screen, but not this time. At least I could stand to listen to him when he was Bruce Wayne.

Yes, Heath Ledger was a very good sociopath, but was it really such a "dark and evil role" that it drove him to drug use and accidental suicide???
