I can say: I was in the right time in the U.S.A. because this movie starts in Germany in 3 weeks. And I am really happy/glad that I have seen this movie already. This batman movie begins there were the excellent first batman from Chris Nolan "batman begins" ended. Christian Bale is the best batman actor ever. He showed batman another face. He is a more dark batman with weakness. He is not invincible. The movie/the story itself is never boring: it is thrilling, exciting and we have nice entertaining actions scenes. Also there is a good soundtrack The absolute highlight was Heath ledger in his role as the joker. I have never thought he can be better than jack Nicholson. But he was! Amazing performance from Heath. He gave Joker another dark, scary character. His bad laughing was a scary as it gets. No doubt: Heath last role in cinema was his best ever. In my eyes he has a good chance for an Oscar. However we don't know if there will someone do it better in future movies. So we have to wait... The rest of the cast was also very strong: Morgan Freeman as Fox, Aaron Eckhart as 2 face (unfortunately only a short appearance of him), Maggy Gyllenhal, Eric Roberts etc. were solid as well.
