Sounds like a great film. I'd only wish, Maggie Gyllenhaal had a bigger role (like Batgirl ), i am in love with her since "Secretary".

I thought this was very interesting:

Me too. My ex-girlfriend was actually the one that suggested we watch that movie, and she always hated that she did afterwards because every time I saw Maggie again I would be like "ahh, i'm in love."

I saw Batman Begins in IMAX and probably also will with The Dark Knight.

I just might have a new favorite movie after seeing this one. I know that may seem like unrealistic expectations but Batman Begins was already a phenomenal movie and if The Dark Knight can signifigantly succeed it we are in for something that will truely blow our minds

Not a fan of katie holmes either, but maggie looks like a beast. This is worse than when snaggletooth was cast as mary jane.

If Dark Knight is as good or better than Batman Begins I will add this to my BD collection. I already have Batman Begins on HD DVD BTW.

So as I understand correctly, the ENTIRE film will be shown on IMAX?

Yes. Not in 3D though if that's what you're wondering.
