For every one person that Batman saves, it seems like three die. Heath Ledger, as the Joker, talking about his drunken abusive father. The female love interest dies halfway through the movie. Even the White Knight, Harvey Dent -- the beacon of salvation in Gotham City -- becomes corrupt at the end. And then Batman is ostracized at the end, while clinging onto the false belief that Rachael loved him and wanted to be with him. I don't think there's a single 'happy' scene in the entire film.
What a depressing movie.

The best part of the movie was the fact that it did not having a cheezy happy ending....very glad they killed Rachel. More movies should go this route...Batman kills enemy and then saves girl and then gets girl would have been a very cliche route to take.

Two-Face was VERY well done. The CGI was great, I loved the missing face parts.

Two-face was shoved down our throats.....Harvey Dent was very well done, but that half face was so artificial....I hated the burnt half jacket as well.....His character evolved way to quickly. He was good and then bad all of a sudden...to much story line progress in not enough time. He would have made a good villan for movie 3.

Best part of the movie, IMO.
The 1989 Joker was kind of wimpy, but this one erased all doubts of that early on. Very well done.
