I've stayed out of this thread until now, as pregnant wives are not conducive to midnight showings, I *was* going to see this at Imax, and the two times we tried there before today they were full and/or sold out.

My wife didn't know it was PG13 until I told her and she remembered "oh yeah, I guess they never really SHOWED anything"...I look forward to the fairly obviously telegraphed Unrated director's cut.

I think my favorite part was Spoiler: The Joker dressed in the nurses uniform walking away from the hospital and the 2nd detonation of the bomb oh and the "you complete me" line was great...

I agree wholeheartedly with both of these things.

Spoiler:
As far as I could see, with one possible exception, the Joker played by his own rules as stated. Plus, blowing themselves up wouldn't have mindfucked anyone, whereas blowing the other boat would have left a boatfull of 400+ guilty consciences. He was encouraging selfishness, not punishing it.
I had one major question for someone who was paying more attention: Spoiler:
Was Joker honest about the locations of Rachel and Dent, or did he switch the addresses? I thought Batman was going to Rachel. I agree that making him choose and then reversing his choice is a very Jokerish thing to do, but it seems inconsistent with the rest of his actions. Did I just mix up the addresses?
