Heath Ledger as The Joker in Batman:The Dark Knight

I finally saw it this past weekend, Heath is scary good in this. I know you've heard everybody say he's going to win a posthumous Oscar and all, but you can't really appreciate how good he is in this role until you see the movie. I think the voice of Christian Bale when he is being Batman is a little too Clint Eastwood/Terminator-ish though. It didn't need to be so deep, raspy and digitally lowered. Christian Bale's normal voice as Bruce Wayne is fine. At the end of the movie, my first question was, was this too long? I say no, bcz at the end of the day, seeing a movie is gonna cost you $40 after popcorn, drinks, tix etc. So give me another 1/2 hour and make the movie 2 1/2 hours long, fine with me. It's a bargain these days.
