I am a HUGE Christian Bale fan, and I'm counting down the seconds until The Dark Knight comes out.
I haven't been so impressed with a comic book character-to-movie transition than I have been with Batman Begins. It's one of my favourite movies, if not my favourite one.
What I hope, though, in the Dark Knight is that no matter how awesome Heath Ledger's character is going to be, they need to keep the focus on the protagonist and his personal evolution into the character that he is. This is what was done in Batman Begins, which made Bale's character ridiculously cool. I hope they don't stray away from that element of what has thus far made this series great. I have faith in Christopher Nolan tio realize this.
