To each his own. But I'm glad it wasn't shorter, left room for more awesomeness. A long movie is only a drag if the actual content is bad, but that wasn't the case for this as far as I'm concerned.

When Joker was driving in the cop car hanging out the window. I thought the movie was about over. Then it wasn't. I personally didn't like Ledger's Joker. Yes it was better than any other live action Joker but it wasn't what I expected from the Joker's character. Now I'm just drawing from memory but I think the only time I heard "the" laugh was in the previews.

[Guyverarmor]

He played The Joker as he should be portrayed : A Psychopathic Killer with no remorse, who tells jokes as he's doing it >.> Not sure how you expect him to be portrayed. But, to each their own of course.

[Acturus]

This is the movie I want to see:

[Dantrag]

He seemed more depressed than giddy about doing it.

[Seraph]

I didn't hate TDK, but I stand behind the horrible pacing of the film, and agree that if it was 30 minutes shorter, I might have an entirely different opinion.

Then again, I think I suffered from over-hype. I didn't see it until a month or two after release, with EVERYONE telling me it was the greatest movie ever made, so my expectations were unrealistic.

It is a very rare event when I am annoyed that a great movie was too long. If anything, I think movies lately have been ruined by too much cutting for time.

Since we're talking about length of movies... Runtime for TDKR is official:

Spoiler: show

164 minutes

[Tyrath]

Uh yeah, people complaining about TDK length, enjoy this movie being almost 15 minutes longer lol.

I know I'll probably be loving every second of it and wishing for more!

[Dantrag]

As long as it doesn't FEEL like its dragging it can be a 3 hour movie and still feel well paced and feel like a shorter movie. I'm still looking forward to this one .

Should have had Dent splat more when he fell, BM takes the same fall and bounces right back up, that was the only prob with tdk. BB and TDK are equals

Dent had the force of Batman's shove throwing him to the ground. Batman had nothing but gravity and not to mention he fell from a smaller height because he was hanging off the ledge.

[Souj]

plus a suit and tie probably doesnt offer as much protection as a state of the art Kevlar body vest thingy and a whole lot more muscle mass.

[Weltall]

I'm not a big fan of it either. It was far too drawn out, the pacing was horrible, and while the Joker scenes were great, it was far too boring overall.

This this this ^ ^ ^

I loved Batman Begins, but I am clueless to how anyone enjoyed the 2nd one beyond a few Joker scenes, and I think anyone who likes TDK over the original Batman with Joker is an absolute fool.

I think I will like this one, but not rushing out to see it. Hopefully, it lives up to the hype!

[Chun Liroy]

Welt just went full retard. You never go full retard.

Chun Liroy!!!!!

[Insanecyclone]

I'm going to assume since he's w/ a cane that Bane 'broke the bat'?

[Tyrath]

Thats the theory but I'm not so sure since hes seen with a cane even in the scenes where he says hes retired. I think his days as Batman just took a toll on him.

[Hirronimus]

Skiing accident.

[Eurell]

He had to step down as the bat because of a non life threatening but uncurable disease.

This is him during TDK

Spoiler: show

This is him now

Spoiler: show

The last few years have not been kind to him

[Salodin]

laughed way more then i should have at that
