I saw this today. I thought it was great. Bane's voice was not what I expect. I thought it'd be edgier, more grit to it than the refined one he had... which is still cool. I liked Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I was spoiled a bit about the movie, so maybe I'll have to take my wife to see it and see if she can figure out that Talia was the mastermind behind it all. I thought it was apparent she was more than what she claimed to be. Bane was more braun, so there had to be the brain behind him. I think I missed some of the action by looking at the background and recognizing places in the city. There was a quick flash of the Upper East Side's shoreline and I'm pretty sure my apartment building is in it. I loved the Scarecrow cameo. It makes me wonder what the Joker's role would have been if Heath Ledger hadn't died. As for getting the bomb out of the city, the one gripe I have is that Batman, Gordon and Catwoman are all listening to Talia's revenge story while the countdown keeps going. Why should they care why she did it? I know drama, etc. It is also interesting that Gotham = Manhattan, yet when Batman takes the bomb to the southeast, he'd be going over Queens and Long Island, but it looks like they erased out L.I. to make the bay (of course it could be glare effect for the camera).
