That was quite possibly the most awesome thing I have ever seen!!!!
Dammit, I wanted a Mr. Freeze story without Joel Schumacher so the character could have a dignified cinematic release
As long as the reboot doesn't make me watch the origin story of Batman yet again, I'm okay with it on a philosophic level.
As long as they don't pull another Joel Schumaker and hire a director who doesn't know how to properly use the Batman mythos. Or try to go back to the 60s style again.

Glad to hear it. Nice to see a successful, lucrative franchise that's willing to stick to just being a trilogy rather than trying to drag it out or do prequels or side stories or something.
Oh, and when they do the reboot, can we maybe see him don a costume that isn't all black?
The Rocksteady games showed that the traditional comic book appearance could be adapted to a more realistic, gritty environment and still look intimidating and cool.

Others have stated it, Bale is a terrible batman, a good Bruce Wayne, God that voice will make me cringe for years to come.
And I'm not too sure I like Anne Hathaway as catwoman, but, you know, it can't be worse than Halle Berry, so I'll give her a shot. The villains do tend to be pretty awesome in Nolan's batman movies, I will give it that much.
Kevin Conroy will always be the best Batman for the same reason Peter Cullen will always be the best Optimus Prime. They ARE the voices for these characters.
I will be in the minority and agree with Mike that Nolan's Batman was better.
one reason i like Nolan's batman is what this man [http://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris] said about it here [http://blip.tv/sf-debris-opinionated-reviews/the-dark-knight-review-1-batman-has-no-limits-5207805]
Ironically, i recall Burton's Batman to be pretty gritty too. It felt really grounded. Up until they rolled out the Batmobile that is XD
jack's Joker was closer to the Joker in the Comic, but i adore Heath's Joker more because it felt so much more likely for a super villain to actually exist as a psychotic genius rather than just plain bipolar insanity.

I keep getting the feeling that most people prefer Burtons batman over Nolans is simply due to nostalgia, but whatever. I prefer Nolans hands down and im glad this will be their last (dont ruin a good thing and all that).
It's good to stick to a set amount of movies. Try to drag it out and you end up with Batman & Robin. Now I quite enjoy Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But it doesn't diminish how much fun I had with Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns. It is the same as with the comics. You can enjoy Frank Miller's take on the Caped Crusader while also enjoying the standard fare that DC presented. Saying one is better than the other because of the timing is just being a wee-bit narrow minded. You may as well say The Batman Movie with Adam West is complete trash, even though you actually enjoyed it when that one came out. One thing that makes me growl is how much Zero Mostel gets forgotten when people want to talk about the Joker on film. His take is just as good as Mark Hamill's, whose own Joker is a world apart from Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. Put the four together, however, you would have Mostel's Joker crying in a corner for his life, Hamill's either having left the building or coming up with some invention to take out the other three, and Jack's and Heath's sharing their proposals on the best way to make Gotham burn. Jack J having goals, and Heath J having none.
