I'm getting The Dark Knight as soon as I get home from work today. I think its his best movie since his first, Following. That movie should be Blu-Ray heaven (thank goodness I sprang for one on Black Friday!). Traitor will also be a must-own for the ol' personal collection. I thought the director (Jeffrey Nachmanoff) and exec producer Steve Martin (?) really did a smash-up job on this movie. And while Cheadle is not my favorite actor by any means, he performs well and puts you into the drama.

Oh, and has anyone else noticed how bat-s**t crazy Christmas day is going to be? Look how many movies are coming out! I'm checking out Valkyrie, insane Tom Cruise or not.

I think The Dark Knight is a great big mess of a movie.  Ledger and Eckhart were very good as The Joker and Two-Face, though, which goes a long way toward making it worthwhile.

Never even heard of Traitor.

Funny you mention this.  I received TDK yesterday and starting watching it.  Slowly but surely I found myself bored in several parts.  Too much time (more than I thought initially) is wasted on Harvey Dent/Bruce Wayne/Rachel.  Eventually I ended up fast forwarding to the parts with The Joker in it.  I think I am coming to the sad realization (and I know this is a sacrilege) that the film may be a bit overrated...at least in my eyes.  That and I'm noticing certain plot flaws now that I didn't think of before.  For example, Batman blowing up random cars to get by.  Don't get me wrong, TDK is still a good film but it seems to lack the second time around for me.

Ha!  It's more than a "bit" overrated, buddy.  It's not awful but the "plot" sure as hell needed more focus.

Batman as a character was very underdeveloped in this movie, when compared to Joker/Two-Face.  Then again, that's what Batman Begins was for.  Overall, Ledger and Eckhart carried the movie, as it sure as hell wasn't Bale. 

And sadly, the end left me wanting more of Harvey, and apparently as of right now, he's unconfirmed for the sequel.
