>> I thought, though, that Batman intended to go after Rachel and left the cops to get Harry, but Joker switched the addresses on purpose (it would be the kind of thing he'd think was funny).
yes. Batman said he was going after Rachel. The Joker switched the addresses.
I saw it as an element of 'Darkness/weakness' (a human failing) that he would save his lover over saving the man who could do what he couldn't - save Gotham without a mask.

(replying to myself)
but of course, in the end - when the real pressure was on, Batman stayed the course and Havery failed.
Batman has been through so much more in his life, and he lost as much in Rachel (he thought). He actually failed to save her by not anticipating the Joker would have switched addresses while Harvey was angry and blaming everyone but himself.

Just saw it last night and am planning to see it again as soon as possible!!!! OMGdss!!
Oh so very wickedly delicious! I was on the edge of my seat and gasping through most of the movie, and may I say that Heath's Joker really scared the socks off me wayyyyy more than many a psycho fiend previous to him! I agree that it's the clear-headed 'one-step-to-the-left-of-sanity' part of his personality that is so completely terror-inducing.
*spoiler-ish*
Totally heart-broken on behalf of several of the characters -- that trully horrible denial from from Batman and Harvey on realizing Rachel's doom (and the Joker's trick); the whole sequence between Harvey Two-Face and J Gordon over his family -- I particularly liked his explanation to his son of why Batman was running "Because we must chase him, because he can take it..." Very very!
Too many moments to sort more of them out -- must see it again, though!!

Yes - I was very impressed with Gordon but then again Gary Oldman is so awesome, you cannot expect anything less. Same for Morgan Freeman (I totally <3 him in anything)
I was shocked as hell when Rachel died. I totally didn't expect that.
I really hope they have a Batman 3 installed and bring out Catwoman. She was one of my favorite baddies because she was a lot like Batman. And they better do better than the last Catwoman. Michele Pfeiffer did sooo much better than Halle Berry.

I think you mean not so super secret 
Actually although I love him in most things he does, I'm not really crushing on him. He was kinda hot in Harry Potter but thats about it. He's just one of those actors that no matter what role they play - I like them, like Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, etc etc

When I need a Gary Oldman fix, I go back to Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. ::sigh::
And I won't get into the delight that is Tim Roth...
do.

Embarrassing confession time: The only film I *know* I've seen Gary Oldman do was Harry Potter 4. I didn't even recognize him in this one. *hangs head in mortal shame*

No need for shame, Neume. He's kind of a character actor. I think at one point in his career he had never done two movies with the same accent, if that tells you how much he changes from role to role.  |

Yes, he's usually very different in everything he does.
And good news for hubby and I! I just put the phone down and the babysitting is arranged for tomorrow night. Dark Knight, here we come!

Thank you. We did.
Wow, it was dark and twisted and bloody violent, wasn't it? I have some problems with it, just like I did with the one before that, but on the whole it rocked. And Heath Ledger's performance just blows you away.
do.
