Hate to be the next guy plaing the joker!

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2008)

Just saw it today with my family. A bit apprehensive about the length (approx. 2 1/2 hrs), but we all commented at the end at how it didn't seem that long. The movie flowed seamlessly, and it was one of the best Saturady afternoons we spent! An understated role was that of Inspector Gordon, played by Gary Oldman. Despite a strong resemblance to Ned Flanders (The Simpsons), I really thought he played a realistic role - the type of cop you normally see instead of a super-hero (OK, that was Batmans' job). Speaking of Batman, what ever happened to Robin? Of course, there was the curiosity factor about Heath's performance and, to us, there was no Heath in the movie, only the Joker. Enough said...
