Runtime is now official confirmed at 152 minutes (2hrs 32mins) which sounds like great value for money.
Here's a quote - "The film feels more like a crime drama in a grand city scape than a typical comic book movie. It feels like Heat except Batman is Al Pacino and The Joker is Robert De Niro and just like in that film we have a great scene between Heath Ledger and Christian Bale across a table. There is also an element of a Greek Tragedy. There is a vast sense of morality at play within the film".
Spoiler free review at AICN. "This review avoids major spoilers but does reveal the basic framework - so if you don't like to know a thing... why'd you even click here. The word is... the film is GREAT. You can leave now. But if you can't - nothing major will be destroyed for your virginal screening romp..."
Expect more leaks as screenings for exhibitors, press and the like take place in Europe and the US in the next few days.
