I figured I would start this up because people that have seen one of the best movies of all time may need to talk about it before they crawl up the walls 
I can not believe how flawlessly written and directed this one. Bale and Ledger were perfect, but I don't want praise for their performance to lose sight of the fact that Nolan "gets" Batman more than any filmmaker ever has or ever could.
I was totally surprised that Harvey was Two-Face in this movie, but it was fantastically done. Heath Ledger was awesome... but it can't be overstated how great Aaron Eckhart and Gary Oldman were in this movie.
Setting up Batman as a wanted man is an amazing surprise but does actually fit a long section of the Batman mythology. And how all the set-up was done for it thematically without being obvious until it was happening... wow. I got goosebumps when Gordon explained to his son "... because we have to chase him".
The use of the Prisoner's Dilemma in this movie just... wow. And I loved that the film was (because the Batman story is) willing to make the optimistic declaration. Men do not need to fail, they can choose the good.
Was anyone else amazed that the movie just... kept starting over? You get HUGE build-up to a big set piece, and then... there's just more. The kidnapping attempt... then the jail... then the ferries... then the hospital. It's like they put the entire LOTR trilogy into one movie
