This movie was pretty good. Depends what kind of films you are into. All of these super hero movies seem the same to me, though this one was better than the others I have seen. The way Christian Bale talks when he is in his Batman getup is downright annoying. The film touches on a lot of political issues, and I found some of the things the Joker says towards the end pretty thought provoking. Made me think of the war in the Middle East, and how some pro-war Americans think of the people as disposable and that it's all for the greater good. How you may here massive media coverage on 1 dead American soldier, when 100 innocent iraqis died the same day. Regardless of this being reported in America, the underlying message being communicated is that American lives are more important than anyone in the Mid East.
The funny thing is I talked to a friend about it and he got the opposite message from the film :)
