i saw it last night. i will say no more as to not reveal anything.
my only piece of advice is to people planning to take their small kids to see this movie---DON'T DON'T DON'T.
it is a tough, sprawling, nasty, grim exploration of people in moral decay, punctuated with bursts of incredible violence. any small child seeing Heath Ledger as the Joker will have nightmares from it, of that i am sure.
there is virtually no joy to this movie, no sense of the inherent fun of Batman--as grim as he is--and Nolan's vision of Batman and his world in this movie is one of pure, chaotic hell.
TDK may in fact be a brilliant movie--i still need to process it--but its a 2 and 1/2 hour trip through physical and emotional hell, and i really implore any parent planning to take their kid to see this movie to see it by themselves FIRST, then decide.
Warners has no business marketing this movie--via toys--to children. it is entirely inappropriate for them.
rob!
