Please excuse the off-topic nature of my post but I finally saw TDK last night. The movie was better than BB by light years.
Heath Ledger gave the movie what Jack Nicholson gave "Batman" back in '89, a visual and emotional center. When he wasn't on the screen I was anticipating his re-appearance. Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, and Maggie Guyenhall were also top notch.
The "size" of the movie was impressive. For that guy who called a it a "first rate crime drama", at the time I laughed, but now I understand and agree.
Cristian Bale sucks. The voice, the lisp, hard for me to understnd how he won this role. Robert Downey Jr.'s ner-do-well playboy millionair in Iron Man, blows Bale's off the screen.
Back on topic; $500 million.
