What I found interesting is that really it's not a 'batman' movie in that he wasn't central to all the action. It was more of an ensemble piece where Dent, Gordon, Batman, and of course the Joker all played equal roles.

I did think it was a little longer than it needed to be and could have been shaved down a bit in some spots. But that's a minor quibble.

Fun time.
That's one of the things that I felt made the movie as good as it is. With so much going on in the story you can't have just one character carrying most of it, especially with a cast like this one. Everyone had their moment and they didn't disappoint. Eckhart as Harvey "Two-Face" Dent was such a great casting choice. He brought so much to that character.
