Why so serious? They kept closer to the comics, called Batman 'The Batman' as they do in the comics, and reinvented The Joker once again, overall a good film. Don't harp on about Ledger's death, it wasn't a suicide.
My husband and I are going to go see it this upcoming weekend. I can't wait to see it. Everyone that has gone to see it says Heath Ledger is totally awesome and that he is the best Joker to ever play the role.
He does play the role of The Joker how I would have expect it to be played. It does show how the comics showed The Joker. I suggest you see it Beverly.
