What did everyone think of it, now that we can see it in hi-def?

I have to admit the Joker looks great in most of it.

Spoiler (highlight to read)
From the little we saw of Two-faces makeup - it looks good.  What's with the Joker throwing Rachel off the top of the building? ;D

I think it looks okay.  I enjoyed Batman Begins, and I think this one will be interesting also.  My big problem with the Nolan films is that they tend to have (to quote friend) "dialogue as subtle as a jack hammer."  Sadly, it looks to be the case for this film as well.

Also, I'm not fond of the Bruce/Rachel/Dent triangle.  I tend to like the 'Dent as friend of Bruce' from the animated series idea. 

But everything else looks solid.  Ledger is an amazing actor, and he completely disappears into this role.  It may not look like my ideal Joker aesthetic, but he looks like he's delivering the good.  :)

I think this looks absolutely fantatsic. I dont think I can get any more hyped than I already am. Seriously. I cant wait.

well put.

Aside from my slight disagreement with how Bats is portrayed in general, that has been my singular complaint about Begins. So much of it is worn on the sleeves. Ultimately it is this element that keeps the film from getting any higher than a b+ from me.

Nevertheless DArk Knight should prove enjoyable.

In looking at the trailer again, I'm slightly less enthused.  I just viewed a few of the trailers back to back, and combined with the (IMO) lackluster prologue, I feel almost sad, now.  While this isn't a crime, such as Batman and Robin, it just feels as though it's going to be...bland.

I hope I'm wrong.  I mean, who has ever heard of a 'bland' Batman film?  That has never been a problem for Batman, no matter what incarnation we're discussing.
