Yep, watched it. I actually thought it was a pretty good movie, mostly because it explored themes deeper than "how many buildings and vehicles can we blow up in one movie." The movie dialed down into the nature of good and evil and how good ought to confront evil. It also explored the morality of fighting evil with evil. Interesting.
While I don't agree with the way the movie worked out all these themes, it is nice to see a film that ponders meaning beyond simple entertainment, and Dark Knight to it's credit, did just that.
Oh, and Heath Ledger, despite all the hype, was incredible as The Joker. Sad to see such a wasted life. Too bad people won't learn from it.
