Saw Batman.  Did not really love the movie. Thought the script was poorly written.  Heath was good.  (scary)  But I think that he was directed to be too evil.  After all it is a comic book story!

Of course your dad thought it was "the best."

The funny thing is that there was a guy (20's) with a notebook labeled "Batman, the Dark Knight" and he was taking notes while on line and thru the film and after the film.  He was alone. 

These movies attract a peculiar element.
