Wolverine did not have his claws at Normandy....not until the Weapon X program somewhere in the seventies.

I saw the Batman movie finally (its interesting that Katie Holmes did not play Rachel although the character returned). Joker was potrayed as well as any major character ever has been - he got the insanity rather than crime focus of the character pretty much perfect. This was one of the few superhero films ever where the vilain ended up being more important than the heroe - at times batman seemed almost besides the point.

Not nearly a good a performance by Bale as in the first movie although he had some good lines. Michael Caine's were better, I actually enjoyed him more than Bale in this. Although I am sure he won't be considered for it, he probably deserves a best supporting character nomination. An interesting change in why Wayne moved to the penthouse from the batcave than the comic version.

I did not enjoy this film nearly as much as the first one, far to dark. But it was a better movie. If they are going, or did, get Watchman right, that will make even this one look light in comparison.
