  1. Maggie Gyllenhaal. Because Katie Holmes wasn't allowed to come out and play.

  4. I'm trying to think if there's been a better sequel than this before. Pretty sure this is a winner

  5. There are some nice subtle glimpses of previous Jokers. Gotta assume those are intentional by Ledger. Just a very little, not too much.

  6. At last the two meet.. Such a subtle clown - could the Batman be a little more?

  7. The gradual Two Face reveal is well done.

  9. Nolan's faith in Ledger's timing and accuracy with the big stunt and explosions scenes is also extraordinary.
