I don't understand quite how they decided which scenes would be regular size and IMAX, but however they did it, I applaud them. The high definition scenes were to die for, as was the whole movie. Definitely one of my favourites.

Well almost all the action scenes were filmed in hi def. As well as any aerial shot. So the beginning, the hong kong jump and the hospital scene were filmed for the splendor. The bank robbery, car chase, climax in the high rise and hong kong were filmed for the action.

As for Heath Ledger's character, it was impeccably done, and worth the wait. He was such a nuanced character, that he even nailed the way such an insane person would sit down.

How do you know how insane folks sit?

Also, the lines that referenced how as long as Batman would be there, the Joker would be there - they can't take those back now. Since we only saw Heath's face briefly, do you think they'll get another actor for the Joker with the makeup emulated?

I think he was talking in the larger sense of the word and not necessarily in the sequel.
Much like the comics or any media, Batman and Joker are the picture perfect definition of arch nemesis. They both want to rid the world of the other, but without the other their world has no meaning.
Interesting comic I read a few weeks back called Going Sane, in which the Joker goes sane and even gets engaged because he believed he killed Batman.

Also, I know I'm a terrible person, but all throughout the movie I kept thinking that I should pick up The Animated Series on Amazon since they're all $17.99 PLUS promotion price. I ended up buying them all just now. It was like.. retrograde advertising. But honestly, it was my first introduction to Batman and my favourite, until this movie series.

Well hopefully you also picked up the animated movies.
And should have owned them already anyhow....
I want your sig.
Maybe you can make me an inverse one with Joker in the foreground and Batman as the shadow.
