Overall, I thought Hathaway definitely exceeded expectations, since a lot of people thought she wasn't a great choice. Many people said the same about Heath Ledger though, so apparently Nolan knows what he's doing.

Spoiler!

My only real complaint about the movie was the way they disposed of Bane. Just seemed like a pretty quick and glamourless demise for such an incredibly powerful man. I thought they did a great job of continuing to refer to the other person to escape from the "Hell of Earth" as a child and not a boy so as to make the Talia al Ghul revelation just perfect.

Spoiler!

I guessed she was Talia from the second I saw her so the reveal wasn't a huge revelation for me. I wasn't expecting her to stab Batman though. I agree with your Bane comment. It was incredibly anti climatic to have Cat Woman just roll up and blast him with the bike. He was pretty damn cool though and the fights between Batman and Bane were epic.
