My wife and I finally saw this so called blockbuster on pay per view on sat eve.Wow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thats what I got to say.How in the name of Pete did this movie sell so many copies Ill never know.I know,I know,,,,,,,,,,,Ill bet I'm in the minority,so be it.It sucked.Heath Ledger should have stuck with portraying a confused cowboy ,and what the heck is up with that voice batman uses,geez,get a cough drop.The only decent job of acting I saw in it was Gary Oldman and Morgan Freedman.WhooWheee,I dodged the bullet not paying to see it in a theater at any rate.

Yeah I was a little thrown off by Batman's dark voice. But all in all the storyline was great in my opinion. I also thought that Heath nailed the joker pretty well. I think you may be the first person that I've heard say they didn't like it. Wonder what the 3rd one will be like...

I liked the first one with Bale as batman,I was put off totally by the total over the top tech scenes.Such as getting a fingerprint off of a fragmented bullet.Im prejudiced against other actors as joker,nobody will ever be as good as Nicholson.

I've liked batman for quite a while, and I thought the "Dark Night" was great.
I think I know exactly why some people dis-liked the movie. They put in the movie/entered the theater expecting to see their old friend from the comic books. However, this movie was a transition from the old comic book batman we all know and love, to Hollywood's dark night. The Nicholson Batman movie was still not much different from the old comic books. It's kind of like when the show MASH changed it's cast from the original cast to the cast with Hunnicut and Potter;The show's not really better or worse, IMO, it's just... different, and it will be dis-liked by those who do not want to make that change, and liked by those who do.
The thing most people can't seem to stop talking about here is how great Heath was as the Joker. I think the actors were all chosen very carefully.

I didn't like it either. We did see it at the theatre - had a family movie night out!

But I thought maybe I'm just not enough of a Batman fan to appreciate it...

The movie just didn't make sense to me...I can tolerate so-so acting more than I can a bad script...
