Regarding Ledger: I totally agree. He made you uncomfortable just watching him. I loved the way he introduced himself to the mobsters with a “magic trick.” Too funny and really, really twisted. As to the suspension of disbelief...well, I did say it wasn’t perfect. I thought it was a little too long with too many plot lines but, Ledger’s performance really made the movie for me and there were several other good performances from the rest of the cast as well.

For my money, nothing is going to top “Wall-e” this season. Best movie I’ve seen in a while.

Since there can be no sequel with Ledger, and since Eckhart's "Two-face" is either dead or not feasible as a villain, it would be interesting to see what this particular director would do with another villain and how he would play Batman's "bad cop" persona.

BTW, the previews were more CGI junk and a remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Klaatu Barrada Nicto, as I recall.

Of all the superhero movies, I thought that a "Justice League" without Batman or Superman would be interesting. I loved Green Lantern, the Flash, and Wonder Woman as a kid--but the whole notion of teamwork,/i> which was kind of lost in the X-men movies (but somewhat recaptured in the Fantastic Four, was always appealing.
