Puts you to sleep, upside down, like a bat.

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2009)

Not all too sure what the fuss was about. Could not really follow all that was going on. At times the over use of effects were loud enough to cover the conversations between the actors. But I like how Batman is a dark and serious looking figure that however represents order in Gotham, whereas the Joker with his "smile" is an agent of chaos, this is well balanced out and the two need each other, its very yin yang. I saw the film unnecessarily long though, and I had to go to sleep towards the very end, something I very rarely do. I think the film was a bit over hyped, maybe due to Ledgers death, he was good, but not all that, certainly not the baddest criminal I seen on screen I think one's death often makes people appreciate their work all the more, as though it starts being seen in a different light. Some nice scenes of Gotham here, The Batman is far too James Bond-like with his toys though.
