so, no. I waited for months to see the film and then couldn't stay awake during the scenes without Heath Ledger. Bale's voice is overdone and he takes himself WAY too seriously. These last 2 Batman movies were almost as bad as the Kilmer / Clooney crapheaps! Bring back Tim Burton! Also, I worked at an IMAX theatre when they were new back in '90 and action movies just aren't enjoyable in IMAX format.
