Saw it last night, thought it was great. I think all three of the main characters did a fantastic job(Batman,Joker,Dent).
After reading through this whole thread I have a couple questions. I'm not as big into comics as the rest of you so...
I assume Scarecrow was the guy with the burlap sack on his head in the beginning? What's his story?
Who is Bane?
How does Batman Begins tie in with this movie? I never saw it.

Found an intreating news brief on IMDB.com
Eckhart Agrees To Third Batman Film
23 July 2008 9:10 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Aaron Eckhart would reprise his role from The Dark Knight - because working with Christian Bale is "phenomenal".
Eckhart, who plays District Attorney Harvey Dent in the sequel, confesses he "absolutely" would star in a third Batman film.
He tells WENN, "To work with Christian (Bale) all over again, and the cast, would be phenomenal. I think this movie is a movie of a lifetime."
I mean this really doesn't mean Two-Face will come back but it does seem possible honestly and could be what some people have said that, "Harvey Dent is dead, but Two Face is alive"

Eckhardt blew me away with his portrayal of Dent/Two-Face. So him showing up in the 3rd film would be awesome.

How does Batman Begins tie in with this movie? I never saw it. Scarecrow is one of the main bad guys in Batman Begins. I recommend watching it, as it gives the backstory of Bruce Wayne, the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Rachel, Batman's origin (this ties to Lucius Fox as well), some background for Jim Gordon, and the story of the Scarecrow. As for Bane, he is a more recent villain from the Batman comics. I'd recommend reading this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bane_(comics)He appeared in the film Batman & Robin, but he wasn't a focus and was pretty terrible.

I saw it twice already...going to see it a third time this weekend...quite simply it was the best movie ever. It was gritty. Had amazing performances and so many intense moments I left the theater wanting more.

You know, after seeing some old Batman: TAS episodes on Toon Disney, I gotta ask:
Does Harvey have any multiple personality disorder in this or is is just a more criminal version of Batman like in this book I read?

It depends, for the most part though they show the Two-Face persona always being in his mind. He was 'cured' for a bit in the last couple of years, face healed and all, so much so that when Batman left Gotham for a year, he left Harvey in charge. Sadly when Batman came back to town, some murders took place which implicated Dent. The accusations, the feeling that Batman came back to steal his thunder when he did such a good job protecting Gotham among other things caused his Two-Face persona to come roaring back to the surface.. all this took place in the Face the Face storyline.

Ha, saw it again today and for the second time I laughed pretty good at the club scene:
"Turn the music down, we can't hear each other talk!" "What makes you think I wanna hear you talk?"

Saw it for a second time. Still great.
But I've realized that the movie has primarily two iconic scens-the interrogation room scene, and the hospital scene. Just both classic, especially when The Joker runs out looking like a 5-year old retarded girl in that nurse's outfit. Absolutely hilarious.
