I thought it was pretty good, but I'm not as frothing at the mouth at it as the majority of people that have seen it.
I, of course, thought Ledger did well, but I am a really big fan of the mythos that the Burton film created in that the Jack Napier killed Bruce Wayne's parents, thus "creating" Batman, and Batman pushed Napier into the chemical vat, thus "creating" Joker. It gave the story a more yin-yang feel and gave Joker more of a reason to have a hardon of hate for the Bat, rather than just being some random disfigured loony.
Spoiler: I also thought that the cellphone-sonar computer might have been leading into something resembling the Brother Eye/OMAC storyline, but I guess not
Something sort of as an aside that I find kind of interesting is that many people (including people here) loved Die Hard 4, despite John McClanes newfound superhuman abilities. Many of the same people loved Wanted, which was filled with similar suspenion of disbelief. And yet Batman gets his ass kicked several times in this movie, and people seem to love it because it makes him more "human" and "believable". Wierd.
