Not really a spoiler, but a quick note on the armour...
OK, I'm spacing it out, just in case :)
...the "armour" isn't very effective in this movie. Lucius states in BB
that the armour is both bullet-proof and knife-proof. In the first
action sequence of DK he gets a dog bite that he has to have stitched up.
Great armour, dude!

Actually, I think the personality and goals match well with the comic
book Joker. Even tho it's clear it's not the comic book backstory. But
he's delightfully sociopathic in all the same ways as he is in the
comics. I'm actually kind of glad they spent as much time as they did
telling his origin story.
Having seen it once, I definitely feel the need to watch it again,
knowing how it progresses and ends.

I agree with this 100%.

I think Heath Ledger did an excellent job in his role. He was quite impressive.
I really like Christian Bale in most of the roles he plays, but not so much as Batman.
He did well as the Bruce Wayne character, but I couldn't get past his Batman voice,
which was quite lame, IMHO.

Well, he has to talk differently when being Batman so that people won't
recognize him from his voice. What would be a better alternative to mask
your own voice?

It's not the fact that he had to talk differently that bothered me; it is the fact
that he sounded like a 75 year old man that smoked too much. I expected a more
powerful voice for Batman, something
smoother and richer.

Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?

Maybe, but still: How to modify your own voice to make sure nobody
recognizes you?
Maybe in the last two Batman movies the voice is not cool, but at least
it's realistic. :)

This can be watched without having seen the movie (it doesn't spoil
too much), but it's best if you have seen the movie first:

I think rock guitar players have known how to do this for a while. If
you can get your shoes to summon bats, you can probably get one of those
mission:impossible things too.

Gets funnier as it goes!

Now that's damn funny!!!
Darren summed up my thoughts on the voice too. How about a bat-voice-modifier? I
mean, if he can build, or have built, some of the crazy tools he uses now, especially
in this movie, why not a
voice-disguising device?
