I saw it on Friday and WOW, I absolutely loved it. I've been recommending it to everyone and anyone who will speak to me :p I loved that it was dark, but not... gothicly bizarre like Burton's stuff, especially Batman Returns.
And Karen, I have read that Christian Bale is contracted for two sequels, so assuming that this does well enough that the WB pushes a sequel (and based on initial earnings, I'd say the WB will be going HECK YEAH in short order), at least there won't be any Batman swapping
