I'd have had him more down as a Riddler-type, but he's definitely got the ability.

Very much looking forward to this fillum - the trailers look incredible, and it's precisely the kind of reality bending CGI that I enjoy watching...

interview with Nolan here - Interesting to see that he doesn't think the current 3D cinema format is good enough to apply to this film yet, but doesn't rule it out in the future (or maybe the studios didn't want to spend the dosh on SF films, which are often quite risky propositions at the box office). I'm sure it will surface in the future if the 2D version goes down well.
Still, the early reviews look very good and I'll definitely rouse myself to see it on the big screen.

It really is eerie, isn't it? And the Joker's one of the few characters you could easily recast, based on the fact that his face is covered in slap.I think it's as much because of the physical resemblance as anything.
Though Nolan's said he won't be featuring the Joker in Batman 3 as he's (understandably) "uncomfortable" with the notion. And I can't see any young actor wanting to step into Ledger's shoes and try to replicate his (Oscar-winning) performance.
It's doubly frustrating because it was the first time that anyone had tried to create some continuity between superhero films in terms of the villains, rather than showcasing a new villain in each film and killing them off. We'd already seen Nolan giving Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow a bit-part in The Dark Knight, and you can bet your life he had plans for the Joker in the third film. Which we'll now never get to see.

I like him very much - he is fantastic in Brick.

I'm gonna torrent it cus I'm a scab.
I never regard people who watch a film that is designed to be experienced on the big screen rather than endured on a shitty torrenent as actually having seen that film. You are dead cool though for being such a rebel.
Don't download shit torrents, and got a media server for a massive Sony Bravia, so no. I'd rather do that than endure watching it in a hot cinema surrounded by other people in uncomfortable chairs with no pause button and not being able to smoke. Each to their own though.
Do you regard people who wait for the DVD release in the same way? You imply that you do.

Just booked IMAX for the 20th 
Bloody hell, I thought it was incredible. Don't want to give away anything about the plot because it was great going in hardly knowing anything. I'd recommend not reading any reviews until you've seen it. But in very broad terms, it was complex, brilliantly shot, great performances, and the last 45 minutes are one of the best action sequences I've ever seen. It asks a lot of its audience and there will be a period where you haven't got a fucking clue what's going on, but stick with it.
And I got to tell Christopher Nolan that at the after-party so I am well happy today (and also hungover). Managed to talk to him for about five minutes without saying anything utterly fucking stupid. He is one of my favourite directors.
At least I think I didn't say anything stupid....

I'm getting massively excited about watching this now. It's clearly going to be the greatest thing ever.

Just got back too - went with my baby... Really enjoyed it - although had to watch the entire thing with my hands over her ears because it was so loud. Still - she slept and I thought it was great. The final shot though, the twist I suppose, you knew that was coming from the start!!

I need to watch it again, but I thought the end was left deliberately ambiguous...

Yeah exactly! And the way it was done ... well it's hard to say what I mean without giving things away... need to use a spoiler really.

ok - figured out how to use a spoiler... and here it is..
Right - so what I mean is - as soon as he introduced the idea of a "totem" which you use to indicate whether or not you are in "reality" - in his case the little metal spinning top which never toppled if he was dreaming - it was obvious that after seemingly achieving some resolution at the end of the film, there would be a shot of the little spinning top and you'd not see if it toppled or not. So the whole premise of the film is questioned - what is/was reality? It reminded me of the end of the original cut of Blade Runner in that respect
