I saw it last night at a midnight showing as well and have to give it full marks. It's almost just as much a straight up crime drama as it is a super hero movie. Very dark, very serious, very cool. As Jiri said, it's almost equal parts of Bruce Wayne/Batman, Harvey Dent and The Joker with a shot of Gordon and Rachel Dawes every here and there. They all shine with Heath Ledger's Joker being the obvious stand-out. I wish I could talk about some spoilers but won't for obvious reasons. Solid "AAA" grade on first viewing. Can't wait till the Blu-ray hits.
